“Mass surveillance had never stopped a single terrorist attack in more than 10 years of operation, in the United States.” They even view your porn habits… This was from 2016, think how advanced things are now within the 10 years after this.

The surveillance landscape has shifted dramatically since 2016. Today, we don’t just have passive state surveillance tapping cables; we have massive, voluntary corporate surveillance through the centralization of AI. Millions of developers and businesses are willingly uploading their proprietary source code, database structures, and internal spreadsheets to cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft). All this data is logged, parsed, and stored in central cloud databases. We are essentially building the ultimate corporate intelligence database of all private technical infrastructure, completely voluntarily. If you care about privacy today, the absolute priority should be moving towards local-first execution. If you must leverage cloud LLMs, the only safe way is to use architectures that enforce local data isolation, keeping your actual database rows and files local, and sending only empty abstract schemas to the model for reasoning
