A starting point for discussion
The idea
The author expects monitoring technologies to become smaller, more efficient, and more widespread, which could make them harder for people to notice.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
Forecasts that smaller, more efficient, more widespread monitoring could worsen the problem of noticing monitoring; this is a forecast, not an established future outcome.
Adapting to computer systems or resisting them can both carry risks
Adds a possible reason resistance may become harder as monitoring grows less visible, preserving the source’s predictive uncertainty.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
The author predicts that monitoring tools may become smaller, more efficient, and more common.
Why it matters
If that prediction holds, people may face greater difficulty noticing or avoiding data collection.
Conditions & assumptions
Source coverage: Full readable text of the author manuscript from an accessible mirror; not the publisher typeset version. The passage says monitoring is becoming more common and harder to notice, and suggests these trends are likely to continue as monitoring technologies change. Addresses: The possible future growth of monitoring technologies
