“People Behave Better When Watched” — XPRIZE Founder’s Position

Friends, a tech note: XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis said “people behave better when watched” and proposed “radical transparency.”

- The idea: a sensor ecosystem — from home cameras and phones to drones and satellites — where “no one can hide.”
- Context: echoes from Larry Ellison; a conversation with Planet’s CEO highlights satellite potential.
- Reaction: public pushback — covering cameras, criticism of Ring and camera glasses; concerns about law‑enforcement access to data.

Why it matters: control over infrastructure and definitions of “good” behavior rests with few — a risk to rights and trust.

How do you see “radical transparency”: a path to order or a privacy threat?
