I watched an old Tom Scott video of him predicting what the distant year 2030 would look like. In his talk, he mentioned privacy becoming something quaint that your grandparents used to believe in.
I’ve wondered for a while if we just adapt to the point that we’re unfazed by fake nude photos of people. The recent Bobbi Althoff “leaks” reminded me of this. That’s a little different since she’s a public figure, but I really wonder if we just go into the future assuming all photos like that have been faked, and if someone’s iCloud gets leaked now it’ll actually be less stressful because 1. They can claim it’s AI images, or 2. There’s already lewd AI images of them, so the real ones leaking don’t really make much of a difference.

We didn't really have it in small villages, and we won't really have it in the global village. (I'm not a fan of the direction, but then I'm a product of stage 2).
