Much like the “every device is tapped” heuristic of security, There’s a simple heuristic for data:

If you create data anywhere, assume some govt will eventually get a copy

In reality that data will sit there unreviewed in 99.9999% of cases.

Just hope you’re not in that 0.0001%

I believe AI and LLMs will change that, unfortunately.

Believe it or not we’ve had the technology a long time to “look” or “track” everyone all the time. At this point it’s simply a political decison not to.

The leadership of the PRC with help from sensetime and other industrial leaders have a working and well tested comprehensive domestic individual tracking system in production. It’s been working well over a decade at this point.

Palantir is politically involved enough that I don't think we can raise any hackles about PRC that don't apply equally in practice to USA.

Please point out easily found reports of the US governemnt kidnapping citizens and then torturing them and daring them to say something about it like happens on the regular in China and Russia and N. Korea. So yeah sorry, not the same. Do I think TLAs spy on US citizens without warrants or any good reason at all. Absolutely, but we aren't quite up to CCP/Russisan standards just yet.
