  • Hey heres the fun thing about your argument that they will be more responsible than the public. Flock and Axxon and all the rest of those companies that you hold so much trust in…they arent the government. They aren’t even regulated by the government. They are a private company with people just like you and me working there, with unfettered access to your data. They have no accountability and no oversight. They are a FOR PROFIT business that will do anything they can to MAKE PROFIT. But you keep licking that boot there.




  • It creates profiles on you even if youve done nothing wrong. What car you drive, what condition that car is in, bumper stickers, scratches etc are used to ID you. It tracks when you leave and come home and on what days, so it knows when you work. It knows whos in your family based on photos of people in the car and matching that against the profiles flock (or any of the Ai driven monitoring cameras) have on that person. It can pick you out of a crowd based on body size and walking gait without even seeing your face, if it has enough data. Say for example, my neighborhood has one or two. I walk around the block a few times a week. Im now searchable in a crowd. Also, i hate flock so i flick those cameras off when i pass them. Im now on a list of possible dissenters and will be higher on the suspect list if something happens to those cameras. Its thought crime shit and is unconstitutional and dystopian.




  • Good advice here in the comments. Id like to add, set a routine and have a spot in your routine to see or do something new in your new city. Whether its trying a new restaurant or checking out a park or whatever. Just something small at a certain time of day/week that you can look forward to, that helps you feel more at home in the new place. The routine also helps me a lot to not feel aimless.

    My last job was small, like 4 people small. The owner loved Ai. She would use it for everything. One day i decided to redo one of her menus. Im not a graphic artist. I have no training in it at all, but i jumped on Gimp and made a prototype. She loved it and raved at how much better it was than hers. Imagine if i was an actual graphic designer…
