The NSA will run Mythos against the entire US population and it will find the patterns. Powerful computer purchases. Energy consumption suddenly spiking. HN comments demonstrating intent and/or contempt for the glorious self-evident freedom preserving laws of the United States.

Then they call your local law enforcement with an anonymous tip about this suspicious dude who's long overdue for a totally random home inspection.

Yeah but I'm in Australia and just host AI models as a service - how are the NSA gonna convince the local law enforcement to do anything?

Ask Kim Schmitz. (Yes, I know, NZ is nowhere near Australia, the point still holds.)
