| Sep 1, 2017 at 19:40 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Aaron the difference is in the permanence of small events. One example would be the "Facebook leak" where FB allegedly revealed millions of old private messages, where FB had to come out and say "You wrote this publicly on a wall, not privately. People were used to time erasing small privacy faux pas. On the internet, bytes are forever. | |
| Sep 1, 2017 at 16:13 | comment | added | Loduwijk | @CortAmmon How has privacy changed with the internet? Do you mean legally, or are you including the view of the people as well? If you do not mean merely legally, I would insist that my view of privacy has remain (I believe) unchanged by the internet: that is, if you don't need to know then it's a privacy concern, and people can keep it private if they choose, with "need to know" being strictly held in the narrowest and most restrictive view possible for society to function. I see you made that comment last year, but I'm hoping you can still weigh in since Im curious about the perceived change | |

| Dec 7, 2016 at 4:50 | comment | added | Zxyrra | Logistics, optical physics, and cost aside, I think the real question is how a society would ever agree to this. Interesting idea though. | |

| Dec 6, 2016 at 16:03 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | What definition of privacy do you want to use? A society with a singular individual (the AI) with that much power will have redefined the word to mean something different than we mean it today. This is similar to how privacy has changed meaning with advent of the internet (and social media). Also, how did the law preventing tampering with the cameras get passed. The details of that event will dramatically shape how such "privacy" issues are addressed. | |

| Dec 6, 2016 at 8:02 | comment | added | AlexP | 1. As far as we currently know there is no such thing as a "microscopic" camera; optics does not work that way. 2. Privacy for the masses is a recent (19th century) invention; maybe its time in this world will not be very long. 3. See Great North Road by Peter F. Hamilton for a great fictional treatment of a police investigation in such a future. | |
