Good/Bad/Indifferent
What's your view on the ramp rate of Flock camera installs in the US (urban and rural areas) over the last couple of years?
Do you see their network's need for literally connecting the dots on the surveillance map as a primary driver for AI Data Center investment? If not, what other things are driving that demand?

It or its equivalent was inevitable. The surveillance state will only grow, never recede.

It should be opposed by every freedom loving American.
There is absolutely no justification for its existence and anyone on the right who is for it is explicitly anti freedom and individual rights.

Beast system component for sure.

I need to go work for them with their growth trajectory. May as well make some money during the rise of big brother.
There’s good and bad.
An Arkansas state trooper recently took 50 pounds of illegal MJ off the roads. He built probable cause based on the clear odor and the drivers story of his travels didn’t match the evidence from the LPRs.
They are useful for criminal apprehension and crime solving. It has to be a very narrow scope of use though. And therein lies the problem.
ETA: GM. I see you are back to form. Nice.

Amazing technology but I’m in agreement it’s an overstep on freedom.
FWIW I’m pro-traffic camera for a’holes running reds and I’ll fight you if you disagree

Yep, because once you open it up an inch, they will open it up all the way.

I say good only because Great wasn't an option. Nothing else seems to be stopping people from committing crimes. I expect the use of cameras and AI will make it much more difficult for people to get away with crimes. I am all in favor of it.

What's the problem with the gov knowing your every move, every day, every minute?

Yes. These data centers (real time crime centers) require a large investment. To justify that investment lots of data is needed to pump into the system and ultimately arrests and a lower crime rate will be expected.
Live video is a huge part of the equation.
I’m touring our new real time crime center we built in early July and will have a better understanding of all the components and inputs.

Extremely opposed as I believe in not sacrificing liberty for some perceived safety.
Also a private company collecting all that data from public roads is bad.
Then you have the whole matter of the corrupt police that are using it to target people and stalk exes so you have the gov abuse part.
Then lastly they are actually a safety hazard as they aren’t installed correctly and present a hazard that isn’t up to code on our road ways. So you have a private company collecting data of unwilling citizens, the gov paying for this bullshite with our tax dollars, police abuse which is already rampant ( three cops deputies in Woodstock just got fired for stalking people), and it’s a safety hazard since flocks aren’t being installed up to code.

People constantly talk about how AI can make their lives better in the future. It is not about that. There is a reason the government (both sides) and corporations are 100% all-in on the AI. This is about control and power. If you hear any other reason, you're being lied to. When the IT nerd that thinks he is in the know and calls you a luddite, just chalk that up to naivete.
It is all about control and power. Government controlling you. Government military controlling the world.
We are headed towards two outcomes, both are bad.
1. AI grows and actually becomes a self-aware life form. In that event it will kill us all or worse.
2. AI stays a computer program, but it grows to the point that it can do most jobs and everyone will be out of work. They will grasp for their momma Uncle Sam to take care of them or rebel and we will have a very long period of hard times.
Start planning now. It will get harder and harder each coming year.

We all know the crime part is only going to go one way. We have lots of democrats that commit crime and are just released.
ETA: if someone was to break into my house and steal shite while I’m gone, I doubt they would use it to fix the problem.
I hate being in agreement with the dumb leftist, but they need to be taken down one way or the other.

I don’t like them, but I also recognize that most of us voluntarily carry a device with us everywhere we go that collects far more detailed information.
Cops have to jump through more hoops to get that info though.

Yea I saw it happened in Woodstock, GA and mention of it in another city. I’m sure they are abusing it.
The only acceptable part was Woodstock fired them immediately but likely only because they used it on coworkers. If it was a regular citizen then I could see the rug sweeping.

I understand people not wanting the government to track everything they are doing, but at the same time I personally prioritize my safety over my privacy. I'm not doing anything wrong so why should I care? I can see how it can be a slippery slope though
I also think this helps law enforcement in completing cases, because a lot of times they can't find the person responsible for the crimes because cameras are no longer functioning in the area where the crime happened. It would be solved if they had been.

We are paying for that device and consent to that.
I guess you could say you consent to flick since you are on a public road but using our tax dollars to allow a private company to collect that data is too far.

We have them at the entrances to and inside our gated subdivision. I'm not sure why that was deemed necessary. We live in a very low crime area.
Generally I am not a fan, but I'm also not taking an angle grinder to them in the middle of the night... but I am very uncomfortable with them inside my neighborhood.
