    It’s all gonna go towards some government surveillance program.

    At a minimum. Like all technology under capitalism, it will be developed and used primarily for violent control. This includes surveillance but much more: weapons. prisons, genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc., as we’ve already seen. That’s why there’s all this nationalist/militarist rhetoric about “beating china”. Empire feeds off empire.
