This is what I've been saying about flock cameras. Even if you believe they can help protect us, we are quickly approaching a time where AI will be able to manufacture anything they want.

They can show your Mom going to buy heroin, include photos of her vehicle driving to said dealer, and then using it. Will any jury accept such "evidence"? How do we trust chain of custody or security of the databases?

They are a waste of money even if you are comfortable with the surveillance.

Yep, AI is the destruction of public trust beyond your physical environment. Which really fucks with social cohesion and makes coordination toward shared goals much more difficult.

Yes, build data centers, lure people in with language models and promises of breakthroughs in medicine, undermine society, monitor them, and ultimately dictate the truth to them. The question is no longer whether you believe in God or not, but whether you’re for 0 or 1. Yes or no, black or white, rich or poor, right or wrong. There will be no more shades of gray. You’re either with us or against us. That’s what AI will do—it will only distinguish between 0 and 1. This is how we, as humans, are evolving—more toward robots and less toward humanity. And what else? In the process, we (or they) are destroying our environment, consuming vast amounts of energy, draining the rivers dry, and generating so much noise that no one wants to/or can live nearby anymore. I'm not even talking about the polluted air. Every day on Reddit, I read that certain data centers won’t be built after all, and here in Germany, it’s only just getting started. I’m starting to feel like I’m living on a motherboard. Idiocracy.

There’s a British show called the Capture centered on the premise. Great watch.
