Company crosses a dangerous line by beginning to offer AI suspicion-generation functions
I feel like these cunts only watched the first half of Minority Report.
Flock? as in sheep? is that name for a surveillance company revealing how they feel about civilians?
It really does feel like a lazy too-on-the-nose name from a sci-fi dystopia writer who REALLY wants to make sure you get the point that the company is evil. It just sounds creepy without even getting into the obvious connotations.
Also their website looks like it was inspired by the evil company from that Watchdogs game.
Even amidst all the other insane news, this stands out as a remarkable and even surprisingly bad leap forward. It’s not like I consented, like when people put trackers in their car for insurance discounts. I’m literally just going out into public, and that gives a company the right to record and analyze me and my car and report me to the police? I don’t even get the chance to sign up to opt-out, which even that would be fucked up? And of course the algorithms could be anything - going to gay bars, going to libraries, etc.
Finally, I feel like my town’s obsession with keeping expenses low might be a good thing.
We must walk without rhythm
These system are nowhere near ready to be used on the public. The companies and bureaucrats that allow this should be locked up for gross negligence.
There is so many problems with this
