The title is really clever in its association of pervasive surveillance with the all-seeing eye of evil incarnate from The Lord of the Rings.

I'm not sure that's a particularly difficult insight.

Eh, millions of households have a smart speaker that's constantly recording and I doubt that the majority of people that use one have truly internalized the ramifications of having such a device at home.

Can you spell out the ramifications for the plebs?
As far as I can tell home smart speakers are being used for warrantless mass surveillance, unlike Flock for example. Do you mean the possible future situation where they are?

I think you're replying to sarcasm.

I think you’re mistaking a shallow AI take for sarcasm.

Should domestic workers not be surveilled while doing their job?
I get the threat of pervasive AI but this hardly seems like it.

Then, stay home if you feel unsafe.

Forget domestic workers, shouldn't you be surveilled whenever you're alone and unattended?
When the panopticon is flipped inwards, everyone scrapes together an excuse for why their solitude is more important than others.

Somehow we've made it the vast majority of human history without it. Or at least surveillance that is generally not great. I would wager real money that there is going to be psychological effects of 100% accurate at all times complete surveillance of a person everywhere outside of their own homes (for now, I'm sure the time is coming for that as well)
