Nothing to hide for now.

go watch any movie about a panopticon for the (overdiscussed) side-effects of a surveillance state. Fiction works, but if you want to spend the evening depressed then go for any East/West Germany (true) stories. For it or against surveillance and I can understand, but just not understanding the issue? No excuses -- personal surveillance for the sake of the state is one of the most discussed social concepts in the world.

Until the politicians want to come after you for posts you make on HN, or any other infraction they decide is now an issue. History is littered with the literal bones of people who thought they had nothing to fear from the state. The state is not your friend, and is not looking out for you.

The number of people who cling to this view is frankly astonishing. History books are still a thing, right?

  Presumably not. Whether he has any acts to keep secret is not relevant to whether he'd like to have any money left in his bank account tomorrow.

You have nothing to hide until you automatically marked for whatever and then judged also automatically by a buggy hallucinating AI overlord. Might be because pattern on your face or T-shirt match something bad. And this kind of stuff already happened in UK even before "AI craze".
