The next wave of AI I don’t think we are talking about enough is the surveillance state we are about to enter disguised as helpful consumer personal AI devices.
Due to lack of a clear moat and a need for much more data, the frontier models need to try and own the next massive consumer device for AI that will replace androids and iPhones.
Those devices will constantly stream for you as a “benefit” to be extremely helpful contextually. They will see, hear and record everything via pendants, jewelry, robots and glasses.
All of that data in turn will be much more robust and infinite than the limited amount of fresh data the AI can currently guzzle to self improve via the internet.
So basically, if you buy a future AI consumer device, you will be exchanging everything you see and do for the promise of a helpful assistant, while also giving surveillance permission, a moat, a new line of revenue and lots of fresh proprietary data to frontier models that need them. Worth it? 🤷♀️
