The state is several steps ahead of you. Have you wondered why the push for AI all of a sudden, everywhere, all at once, really quite far ahead of its actual capabilities to help most of us? Huge monies thrown at it? An effectively-instantaneous turnaround on decades of anti-nuclear sentiment just to power AI?

It's not because it's going to be good for us.

I don't mean it to be a dismissal or snark. It wouldn't be as terrifying if I could do that. On the contrary it is remarkable how directly this exact baby monitor model can be scaled up to an automated intelligent panopticon.

(Thank you, yes, baby monitor -> nanny state)

You hardly need AI at the state scale. They can just process footage at regular speed.
