"How would it do that? "
AI.
That is entire premise of 'Nexis' from Yuval Harari.
Individualized bot driven surveillance .

""Ellison declares Oracle all-in on AI mass surveillance, says it'll keep everyone in line
Cops to citizens will be 'on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting'""
How were they doing this in 2017?
A lot of things are happening now that happened before. That doesn't mean things don't improve. Increased efficiency is the issue now. In 2017, maybe some simple algorithms, or a person, was intervening to drive ads, now AI is a big step change in better targeting.
That was one of the points in the book. in 2017 or before, a surveillance state was limited by the number of people it takes to do the actual surveillance . Now AI increases the efficiency.
Harari is a shill.
you make a very convincing argument. /s
Isn't it obvious? When someone talks a lot and most of those talks have zero relevant meaning or substance, then it's someone who is a shill.
