> What's this conspiracy theory?

I will give you modern examples:

- facial recognition software used in cameras in public spaces

- mass monitoring phone calls, text and processing them

- predictive policing (has been criticized heavily, currently this is a popular topic in ethics of policing to train young philosophers on the issue. Last I heard, police departments in US have claimed to have opted out of this. Maybe they have better ways now?)

All these examples are from the west. If you never heard about any of this, you would be terrified at what they do in China, for instance.

Usually you would need to process data you collected and rely on some primitive indications to identify dissidents to the system. LLMs are a game changer on this aspect. When you know, you know :) ...
