🚨 THE CEO OF FLOCK JUST SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT
Remember when Flock cameras were only supposed to read license plates?
Apparently that's not enough anymore.
Now we're talking about AI that can find a vehicle from a simple description.
Microphones that are always listening for so called "sounds of distress."
Drones that can be launched automatically after a 911 call.
And camera networks that can follow movement across entire cities.
Every year the cameras get smarter.
The databases get bigger.
The AI gets more powerful.
And the amount of information being collected keeps growing.
Then came the comment that really got people's attention.
The CEO behind Flock, one of the largest camera networks in America reportedly compared people who map camera locations to terrorists.
Think about that for a second.
The cameras aren't the problem.
The people tracking the cameras are.
Some people see a tool that makes communities safer.
Others see a system that knows where you've been, where you are, and eventually where you're likely to go next.
If mapping Flock cameras makes you a "terrorist," what does that make the people putting cameras everywhere?

Uncle Iroh voice actor Greg Baldwin criticizes Paramount over the state of the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' franchise
“Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA ... The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted"
"Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely. They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism"
"ATLA is a mystery to them."
"They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise."
"Who should lose their jobs to AI? Answer… Studio Executives. Ironically…those cockroaches will be the last to go"
"In conclusion… Fuck you, Paramount"

There was a period of time when music videos just looked like this. Crazy greenscreen, Japanese guy flying on a bicycle. Scrolling composite backgrounds that aren't the right scale/perspective. Lens flare, lens flare, lens flare. Pretty nostalgic.
Dean Wade needs his flowers for his defense on Cade Cunningham.

After exposing the US’s war crimes and Israel’s genocide at Coachella the lead singer of The Strokes, Julian Casablancas, isn’t done speaking truth to power:
“American Zionists get the benefits of white privilege, but act like they are Black people during slavery. You are not oppressed. You are going to a wedding in Tel-Aviv when there are 80,000 dead Palestinians half a mile away.”
