This is precisely why I'm saying AI and our surveillance state are completely different issues.
Yes the surveillance state is really bad and we need comprehensive laws that protect our personal data.
That being said, what the copyright industry is desperately clinging to has nothing to do with that. Your second paragraph has nothing to do with the first. So I don't agree with both, I only agree with the first, which is my main point, about how they are seperate issues.
my main point is that there is no possible way to seperate the two. you can dream about it if you like, work on it on a limited local version, but even that has its risks. but if you ever want to use the big models, there will be no separation between AI and the state. you are being surveilled. and there is zero shot they will ever relinquish that power once they have it. even "altruistic" governments wouldnt do that, for them its a matter of national security at this point.
i am serious when i say this, you shouldnt listen to me and you should fight tooth and nail to stop this if you think its possible, i am doing my part by warning as many people as i can, and spreading the word whenever possible. both AI and surveillance states, even when completely separated, are going to be a massive detriment to the average persons freedom in the long run. added together, we are pretty much screwed already. its already being implemented.
cats out the bag, pandoras box, all that.
