I was once a privacy nut. But it’s getting so hard nowadays, and there are so many more important problems – global warming, AI, the inevitable collapse of the current world order… how does privacy improve the world? Please help remind me.
I do approve of privacy, of course. All this protect-the-children flak is bullshit. I just can’t remember why I thought it was something worth fighting for and preaching about.

I empathize with you here.
For many, it makes them feel more comfortable to have a reasonable amount of privacy. Feeling like there’s always someone looking over your shoulder can bring a level of anxiety.
This is doubly true if the people watching you are pushing AI as hard as they can while you are trying to fight it.
Traditional data centers use huge amounts of power and they’re unwilling to turn them off when supply is low and demand is high.
These problems are tightly connected
