Can’t wait for a hallucinating AI to report me for assault because I hugged someone in public.
Maybe they should require everyone to be happy all the time. I’m just imagining everyone going around with freaky smiles.
I mean, he’s a billionaire. I guess there’s big money on propping up totalitarian regimes.
Let’s start by putting up cameras in all his houses.
Will Ellison and government officials volunteer to be observed for next 5 years to prove software?
(No.)
Just gonna tell tweakers those things are full of copper
Billionaire wants a totalitarian state, who’s surprised?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single corrections officer, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.
Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates’ cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched motivates them to act as though they are all being watched at all times. They are effectively compelled to self-regulation. The architecture consists of a rotunda with an inspection house at its centre. From the centre, the manager or staff are able to watch the inmates. Bentham conceived the basic plan as being equally applicable to hospitals, schools, sanatoriums, and asylums. He devoted most of his efforts to developing a design for a panopticon prison, so the term now usually refers to that.
Why do we even care what these tech-bro ass hats think? We already collectively know his vision apply only to “poor people”.
Because they have undue power over our lives.
How about doing something instead of talking? https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/crimethinc-recipes-for-disaster
Maybe I’m an outlier, but omnipresent AI cameras would ensure bad behavior in my case.
Shitty billionaire has a shitty take. Shocker.
He proposed a shitty Art Park on Lanai, the island he bought the majority of, and wanted to set up surveillance to stop “vandals”.
Worked on the plumbing for the fountains he wanted to building. Those surveillance measures never came to be, yet…
When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:

https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-red-light-ticket-camera-illinois-car-stolen-theft/11677595/And the police/courts won’t help you because it’s a problem from the private company running the cameras… I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.
A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).
Even then, I’d rather cameras not be used in this way at all.
AI camera VS. A .45 Magnum
Tune in next decade to find out who will win this epic battle.
Edit: Why does this guy look like Adam Sutler from V for Vendetta?
If he really believed that he wouldn’t live in a gated castle.

They will ensure a lot of smashed up AI cameras that’s for sure
