"off the record"

...I think an "on the record" society makes more sense. People wear smart glasses, everything recorded, transcribed and fed into an LLM. People can have a mute button, but generally discouraged. Suitable in the age of prediction markets, high definition streaming and fast software development. Humans can be verified at the door.

Sounds like Hell
Yep, but remember the news story "France moves to break encrypted messaging"..

someone proposed it'll end up all being fed into an LLM. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48079325

May as well have some opt-in regarding the matter. In the process, news stories could become, well, automated... the interviews are done in the society. The hellish part would be a clanker coming up to you and asking a bunch of probing questions, that's why I think they should be banned. Then again, people could start talking in code words to confuse listeners.

why?
To concentrate human intelligence in realtime. What are we doing here? Why does it have to be limited to keyboard input?
