For a few years now I've imagined an AI that can ingest all my writing across platforms, figure out it's me via this type of analysis, find any information I leak, and archive that data in perpetuity. Then it could be used to judge me for whatever purpose its owner deems worthy; which given my age will probably mean selling me boner pills in a decade or two.

It feels like we killed god and then re-invented him. And I think that if you don't want his gaze and judgement to fall on you, then your only option is not to participate in online discussion, and probably not even read it because you can probably learn a lot about someone just from passively tracking the things they follow online.
