AI is the architecture of surveillance. Encryption is the architecture of sovereignty. The old surveillance state had a bottleneck that was humans. That bottleneck is gone. AI perfects surveillance. Every piece of data can now be read, categorized, flagged, and acted on, instantly, at population scale, at very little marginal cost. Progress in AI makes bureaucratic incompetence obsolete and leaves you no place to hide. Except one place. If the data is never published in the first place. Encryption restores the natural order of privacy that civilization requires to function. Let there be no data to see. The most powerful surveillance engine ever built is useless against data that does not exist. You cannot centrally plan an economy you cannot surveil. You cannot seize what you cannot see. This is why encrypted money at planetary scale is the machinery of freedom. Zcash.
