This should be obvious for everyone by now, but if you're not from US you must assume that all your use of US AI services (#ChatGPT, #Claude, #Gemini etc) is fed directly to US intelligence services.
"We may share your Personal Data, including information about your interaction with our Services, with government authorities ... in compliance with the law (i)" (OpenAI)
"We may disclose personal data to governmental regulatory authorities as required by law" (Claude)
"We will share personal information outside of Google ... to: Respond to any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request" (Gemini)
The amount of valuable information fed to the systems voluntarily is staggering. It's not a matter of "if" it is happening, but "of course it is". It would be outright negligent if they weren’t capturing and disseminating it all.

The year is 2030.
Computers boot directly into the browser. IDEs are just a web app now, running in the GPU. No one knows why. Or how.
All programs run in 4 nested containers on top of a hypervisor abstracting over the 5 major computational clouds. The last time a branch was predicted correctly, in any CPU anywhere, was 4 years ago.
Cloud costs are withdrawn directly from your retirement fund.
