   One of the things we need to discuss is that LLMs listening to your conversations and phone calls, reading your texts and emails — this is all going to be normalized and inevitable within seven years.

     The question is: what do governments and law enforcements do when they realize every single person has a little agent on their phone that can answer literally *any* question about their activities, in simple human language? The “crypto wars” are going to look quaint.

     The temptation to legislate government access to this agent will be enormous. It’ll start with heinous crimes like child sexual abuse or terrorism, and it will appear tightly targeted. But it will be applied at massive scale, to millions of people.

     In a very short timespan it’s going to be expected that your phone can answer questions about what you did or talked about recently, what restaurants you went to. More capability is going to drive more data access, and people will grant it.

     I absolutely do believe that (at least initially), vendors will try to do this privately. The models will live on your device or, like Apple Intelligence, they’ll use some kind of secure outsourcing. It’ll be required for adoption.
