Before now, there was always a natural barrier on the power of surveillance. Even in the limit, if everyone’s actions were recorded all the time, there wouldn’t be enough people and time to watch and analyze the entire footage. But AI threatens to make that natural barrier completely obsolete.

I spend most of my time at Anthropic confused by complicated questions (how are the models doing math?). This isn't one of them — mass domestic surveillance powered by frontier models isn't compatible with democracy.
