I believe AI and LLMs will change that, unfortunately.

I joke, ruefully, what would happen if we had another Stalin or Mao now. Vacuuming up dissidents would be easy - for many of them it’s probably been on their Facebook at least once. And if it’s not, check what people bought from certain businesses. Then use AI to analyze and weed out the rest.

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.

Maybe. It'll be a race between one set of AI to generate lots of content, and a different set of AI to analyze it all.

It's not obvious to me that the side doing the analyzing will win out.

Absolutely absurd statement. Palantir doesn't run concentration camps.

The US governement kept that contract in house.

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.
