Privacy gives you the freedom to live your life in a way that best suits your personal goals and needs, without having to constantly balance every action between “the private game” (your own needs) and “the public game” (how all kinds of other people, intermediated by all kinds of mechanisms including social media cascades, commercial incentives, politics, institutions, etc, will perceive and respond to your behavior)

Without privacy, everything becomes a constant battle of “what will other people (and bots) think of what I’m doing” - powerful people, companies, and peers, people today and in the future. With privacy, we can preserve a balance.

    It’s very difficult to take King Crypto Bro seriously when he can’t even go a couple paragraphs without putting a shitty AI-generated picture into his post.

    Five animals which are supposed to be wearing sleep masks, I think, with their eyes bleeding through for most of them

    It’s hard to do anything but give the author of this article a side-eye and wonder what he’s doing besides saying platitudes, not really bringing anything new to the table, and wistfully hoping AI will continue growing but with magical encryption that will keep us safer somehow.

    fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) could be used to perform AI computation remotely without allowing the remote server to see the data or the results. Historically, FHE has been very expensive, but… it [is] potentially very amenable to ultra-efficient FHE implementations

    Because AI, which loses money with every single prompt, is in a position to become even more expensive.
