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.
Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?

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.

Sure but we were talking about 1998.
The real agency has certainly gotten closer to that dystopia than the film.
Wholeheartedly agree about not needing cameras.

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