  I remember seeing that film and thinking, “they wish they could do this.” They’ve tried pretty hard and somehow been more sinister about it.

    What if they already had the tech like that, even back then?

      I mean, there were definitely cameras everywhere but they werent part of a system(closed circuit and they looked awful). Hell, they still look like shit most of the time.

      Hackman had MFs zooming in on people’s faces 100 yards out from atm cameras and stuff.

      Obviously, the state wants this but it’s not there yet. If it was, it’d feel extra bad how many murders and other heinous crimes they just give up on.

        I remember seeing that 9/11 footage at the pentagon. It was like 1 frame per second.

        Isn’t that the whole point of the AI push? To get us fully into that level of surveillance state, and to have it automated? Flock is doing its part but really they don’t need cameras to track people anymore.

  As terrible as much of that movie is… It is a great movie overall and a recommended watch.
