Incredibly dystopian. Since at least nine years ago, there hasn't a single place on the surface of the planet where you had any total and absolute privacy.

They aren't necessarily convenient places, but it's not like you can't find any privacy just because there are cameras up high pointing down. It's actually probably far less intrusive and privacy destroying than the electronic device you likely carry everywhere with you that reports you location and could (if it doesn't already) keep track of when it can't report and relay it when it can again.
If you think the trade-offs of that make it worthwhile most the time, consider that there may be trade-offs here that are positive that you are discounting with what we're discussing here.
Suppose we design walkie talkies such that two or more units can be hooked up together in a daisy chain. While the devices are daisy chained, a button can be pressed on the head walkie talkie which will generate a random symmetric key, like 256 bit AES or whatever. This is sent over the daisy-chained bus to all the others. They flash an LED or something to indicate they accepted the key. After that they can be split up and will all use that key.
The idea of privacy disappeared a long time ago. FB/Cambridge Analytica/IG/TT/SC is just the surface.
It's also in the country's favor to overclaim their capabilities.
I am generally pro-situational-awareness of things in public spaces.
Which don't exist.
I'm not saying it's good or bad. But it is inevitable, and we need to adjust to that reality.

"Persistent Surveillance System" google blackholed of course
After all, who could object to a safety measure?
I think he is wrong that everybody spying will help, when everybody discussing online doesn't. But it is useful to think about what world will be like when everybody can surveil.
It’s certainly an asymmetrical field but, especially moving forward, I doubt it will be an entirely one-way street.
Hence, people will choose to record every minute of their lives out of fear of something similar happening to them.
