It would be useful if some government or private entity were to host a blue-chip commission to look at the data on the public safety tradeoffs involved in the installation and use of Flock cameras. Whatever views you have, it's an important issue, & real data & analysis is good.

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information," it continues.
"Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an Al model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated.
The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one."

For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.

Another cold blooded execution by ICE today in Maine, just days after the murder in Houston. The only acceptable position for politicians is eliminating the agency. Do not for one minute tolerate any politician calling for "training" or "body cameras." The demand is clear.

Get The Flock Out
Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies like Flock Safety are quietly trying to build a nationwide mass surveillance system. If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant. But we're not powerless. More and more communities are rejecting these creepy cameras — and yours can be one of them!

to "profile" Tilly Norwood is to take a mistaken perspective on what Tilly Norwood is and where the software's function lies. the article succeeds in realizing the folly, but ends up missing the real issue here: it's a tech demo built to demonstrate market value in duping humans with fake images.
