    In my opinion, this is way more terrifying and problematic than if they were listening to us.

    Exactly. This is what I try to explain to people when they bring up the listening.

    Somehow it’s difficult for many to comprehend this. They find the listening easier to understand.

      I described it to my dad like this: “They don’t need to listen to your conversations because they’re already able to simulate your thoughts.”

      Kinda a stretch, but it worked for him.

        Shhh shh shh, you can’t just tell people that the vast majority of them are so predictable in so many ways that most of their life choices can be determined to reasonable degrees of accuracy such that they functionally /are/ NPCs to those with decent models and a huge training dataset.
