It's worth figuring out what your threat model is. There probably are ways that some government agencies can get into iPhones or decrypt these messages, and they probably are collecting all the encrypted data in case quantum computers can decrypt it later.

But are they going to waste any of that on you? Unless you are a high value target for them, and unless they intend to avoid any judicial process where their capabilities might become public, they probably aren't going to use their best tools to help the local cops break into your phone.

The industrial revolution saw a huge shift of workers from agriculture to factories. Transitions are always hard, and factory working conditions were not always the best. Still, over the course of a generation or two, the industrial revolution lead to a huge increase in the average standard of living.

AI has exactly this potential. We are still in the very early days, seeing some of the initial pains of transition. However, the potential of an equally huge shift is definitely there.

That's the crux of it. We have a bunch of legislators squawking like frightened chickens about "printing guns" who don't realize that the essential parts that make it a gun can't be printed in plastic (unless you WANT to go have an ER physician pluck plastic bits out of your face).

Meanwhile, no regulation whatsoever on the plumbing aisle of your favorite hardware store where you can get parts for a useful improvised gun.
