Exactly what I thought. In the end it really isn't in most of the big corps interest to not see your data/query. They need/want to see it so why would they degrade their ability to do so if they can just say no and you will have to rely on using their services without FHE. For banking applications cool, everyone else debatable if it will ever be accepted.

on: Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market
The ever-increasing flood of information (crises, as you call them) will, I believe, eventually become the downfall of our political system. There is already so much to read in a single day that you probably couldn't consume it all in your remaining lifetime if you tried. LLMs will only make this worse. Eventually, super-powers—whether political or economic—will send out so much misinformation about everything that no one can really follow it or distinguish truth from falsehood. People will simply stop participating in the global conversation, and their votes will become obsolete and guided by the most intruiging stories.
