AI surveillance should be banned while there is still time.

All the same privacy harms with online tracking are also present with AI, but worse.

Let’s do one better and get rid of all the surveillance.

Everyday people love mass surveillance, how do you beat that

What do yall mean “before it’s too late”, it is too late to stop from happening, we have to start planning on how to destroy it

Never gonna happen while we're under Republicans' grip - they are truly the party of hypocritical control freaks.

There’s very little doubt in my mind that Democrats want this too. Neither US political party cares about privacy more than the other.

Some politicians in either party support right to repair and privacy

It won’t be enough to save them.

While I don't like tracking and mass surveillance it is important to realize that the tech to do so has been around for 25 years.

all the privacy debates surrounding Google search results from the past two decades apply one-for-one to AI chats, but to an even greater degree. That’s why we (at DuckDuckGo) started offering Duck.ai for protected chatbot conversations and optional, anonymous AI-assisted answers in our private search engine. In doing so, we’re demonstrating that privacy-respecting AI services are feasible.

I like and use DuckDuckGo but I don't see how they can guarantee this, similar to how a VPN might claim to keep no logs but you can't really know for sure.

I think it would be cool if there was software that downloads local copies of wikipedia, stackoverflow etc., and you can ask questions that will be responded to with relevant informative pages without that query going to a server.
