Same "sane developers advocating for best practices" preached to the moon:

- Alexa (and other voice assistants) spy microphones in their homes;

- Internet connected:

    - locks;

    - door, bedroom, living room cameras;

    - lights, appliances and whatnot;

Giving full and unfettered control to their personal computer with all its accounts, apps, etc does not surprise me at all.

I wonder what anthropologists will write about us these days 100 years in the future. What is super creepy and super illegal to do for a physical individual, but is given a blank check from society to be done by tech corporations at unimaginable scale.

EDIT: also corporations (from my social bubble) are giving (almost) unfiltered access to their data from LLMs (and probably soon a control of that data through "Claw" trend), that would be instantly fireable offence for any employee.

Imagine giving enterprise access to some Joe-Claw from the street and allowing him to press any buttons he wants..
