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.
