In the 1970s, world-famous sci-fi author Phillip K. Dick was spied on and surveilled by the FBI and CIA. In this interview, he talks about his suspicions of being spied on, the proof, and reading the files created on him by US intelligence agencies way back in the 70s.
Alright, now imagine this as a warning, as many of Dick's writings about AI and technology have proved to be prophetic.
Imagine these agencies are the same as they've always been, nothing has changed, they still spy on citizens, and now they have all the technology to do it and you've installed it in your home and keep it in your pocket 24/7.
Imagine the file the FBI has on you.
We are in a Soviet-style surveillance state, and it's only a matter of time before the trap is sprung.
