(Dirty) business as usual.
Most AI is being trained on publicly available free information. It’s so much cheaper.
To my mind the greater problem is that the information is collected in the first place, not what they do with it having collected it. Once information is collected you have pretty much surrendered control over what happens with the information after that.

Well there are not any technical restrictions to prevent any parties from doing so, and clearly legal implementations have loopholes that continue to be (ab)used.
irvinewade, and i think that every big tech company would use train the device singals, to know which human belongs to which device. Its Telemetry. And all Voices, Shadows, Biometric barking dogs or purring cats in the household too.
In Theory these companies collect every piece of information to predict future. For certainty on capitals investment.
So i would train a camera or a software keyboard or an audio assistant on the device too to, tune for your human and know best about him. And to speed this up, i would exchange Information to compare with another target group, or to specialize that target group for a better match.

The next step to that Schneier’s view is moneization: Surveillance-based pricing and wages - based what the AI has learnt from you and set dynamically.
“Giant corporations should not be allowed to jack up your prices or lower your wages using data they got spying on you,” said Casar. “Whether you know it or not, you may already be getting ripped off by corporations using your personal data to charge you more.”

A.I. teaching is the next big Thing.
I love humantech podcast your undivided attention. They have some substack board and podcast which got an intervie with danial k. a former openai supporter.
He and other try to picture the future development … and its like dark clouds letter about A.I. in competition with humans about future. I hope myself that it is not so unstable.
Like in https://ai-2027.com/ described. But i think they have a point and on a financial interest its every year a whaat?! Moment to check the progress.
Like Midjourney did on small animations - they are no pictures anymore and they are highly optimized to change humans feelings while scrolling by.
Yes we have to face it and it will change us. And we will have to see and understand that 5G or modern WLAN Routers can scan our movements, heart rates and maybe micro expressions. We have this world and can not get away with our security bubble and computers - cause our neighbor have the right and will use a router, insecure Phone with camera, unstable IoT device or a Internet connected car. And we have to adjust our privacy with that.
