In a sane world, automation would pave the way for true abundance and even a post-scarcity society, where humanity could truly flourish.
But in our world, all it does is create unemployment, widen the wealth gap, and pave the way for a police-state.
As Flock Safety faces mounting backlash, Axon is already rolling out its replacement.
Meet Lightpost: AI-powered license plate readers and live streaming surveillance cameras built directly into existing streetlights.
How fun. 4th amendment be damned.
"a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PD’s Flock system and looked at a camera in the children’s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody.
He did not look at any other cameras in the entire 400-camera network that day."

somehow it's amazing for these guys and the biggest tech companies if no one ever gets to own powerful systems at home in the future and we all have to rent compute worth a damn from these scumbags.
the reason this shortage is so bad is that manufacturing is done by this cartel.
@SanaSaeed ...until we realize that this is exactly the crap that worked on the boomer weirdos in Kentucky. They ran these AI ads and apparently it worked to defeat Thomas Massie.
Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.
🚨 FLOCK JUST GOT CAUGHT BY A REPORTER — THEIR CAMERAS ARE SECRETLY TRACKING PEOPLE IN REAL TIME
"You're saying Flock does not track people, correct?"
A Flock representative tried to deny it.
But then they showed the Condor camera — the one designed to literally follow your movements in real time.
No matter which way you move, the camera moves with you.
And that's not all.
These cameras can zoom in on your phone screen to see what you're looking at, recognize faces, and pull up personal details in minutes using commercial facial recognition.
One example: They tracked a couple arguing at a street market and within two minutes knew one just finished medical school and the other has chronic IBS.
Cops are openly bragging that "you can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing."
They said it was just for license plates.
This is full-blown surveillance, and it's already everywhere.
Should Flock's Condor cameras be allowed to track people in real time?
