It is kinda nuts that the alleged warnings of the past were just priming us into thinking it is all ok for them to do.

10 years ago i would have never believed UK would have their own Schutzstaffel, and that it would be AI
today i’m not surprised by literally any shitty thing that happens
I hate to say it, but I remember around 2000 the UK being called the most surveilled country in Europe due to massive numbers of cameras. I thought it was bad back then, but I had no idea how much worse it would be.
Until Flock, the vast majority of those cameras were privately owned and not integrated into any larger network. If the police wanted camera data, they had to ask businesses or homeowners, and there was no regulation of data retention, so if they wiped their recordings after 48 hours, there was nothing the police could do about it.
It’s the aggregators of that data that are the real risk, not doorbell cams or shopkeepers trying to limit shoplifting or vandalism.
