#Privacy is not just about today. Privacy is largely about years from today.And nobody knows what's going to happen years into the future.That's something that I think a lot of people continue to miss.Some piece of information that was completely innocent, say, in 2021, might become a serious threat in 2025.Who will have access to that information? How will the social context change? What will the legal environment be?Once a piece of information is out of our hands, we lose control.

@mrbitterness @rysiek Does it end with a cliffhanger?

Is the whole "just ask a lying machine" genAI crap the inevitable conclusion of "Don't Make Me Think" approach to things? :thaenkin:
