The concept of privacy as we understand it today has evolved. It's not something that has been with us forever, and we shouldn't assume that if the world completely changes in one way (becomes AGI-like) it will stay the same in other ways. Societal values and norms can undergo rapid transformations, often catalyzed by technological advancements, cultural shifts, economic changes, or significant events. These swift alterations in collective attitudes and behaviors are sometimes referred to as "social tipping points" or "cultural shifts." The mechanisms driving such rapid changes include technological disruptions that reshape how we live and interact, generational shifts where younger cohorts adopt markedly different values, media influence that quickly spreads new ideas, economic upheavals forcing adaptations in societal norms, legal changes altering the boundaries of acceptable behavior, and crises or major events that spark widespread reevaluation of existing paradigms.
Very thoughtful piece! I agree that this is a generational shift. The Victorian concept of separate public and private spheres has been utterly eroded by social media, and of course AI is the sum of our collective data.

Thank you!
Excellent article. Privacy as a concept is much more complex than it seems on the surface.
