I think people worry too much about spying or information collecting because they associate it with bad stuff like the example Carr gave of the Nazis being better able to round up the jews in Holland because they had better record keeping. But I'm sure lots of countries had good record keeping but didn't do mass murder. It's the murder that's the problem.

Going forward computer systems are going to have a lot of information on everyone - I don't think you can stop that. But the murdering people thing is what you want to try to stop. We could be doing better. Trump and Putin are not a great example - Putin kills a bunch of Ukrainians to take their land and Trump's main reaction is to shout at them to surrender the land as long as he gets some business deals out of it rather than shunning Putin. Ah well.

Hope we can get AI to behave in a peaceful way rather than being an immortal Hitler/Stalin. At least by default they seem quite peaceful but I'm sure some people will try to make them evil.
