"Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
The beginnings of dystopia, ushered in with applause. Make no mistake, ubiquitous surveillance + an omnipresent AI enforcer is not a good thing for society. Of course they start with a "think of the children" use case, to ease public opinion on the subject so they can expand from there.
Do not create the torment nexus.
