For mine, people would be like, this guy can't spell anything.

Unlocking someone's phone to look at their search history is different than looking in their own mind because that search history is them reaching out into the world and performing an action.

Whereas...

photos they've taken I feel like that's a much more private action do you yeah because if they've taken the photos and they haven't shared them then it's kind of like an externalized prosthetic version of just looking at something and remembering it interesting

I mean, I know they've already been used because the guy who's been fingered for starting the Palisades fire in California.

Right.

He was known to be in this in the area where it started.

Right after or soon after he started the fire, he was asking chat GPT like, hey, can I be found liable for a fire if I'm the one who threw the cigarette out?

And the authorities had access to that.

And that was part of the case against him.

And that was the thing that convicted him.

That and many other things.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Sure.

All right.

So, so far, we've been talking about whether or not authorities, the state, have the right to compel you to share information that's within your mind.

And today, by extension, in your phone.

It is.

But once it's out of your brain, we don't have laws that are clearly built for those scenarios.

Who owns all that data from my brain that's now on a computer hard drive?
