“Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison.” General Ludd, we need you now more than ever.

@jabel Like with anything AI, we should apply this to the CEOs first. Ensuring good corporate behavior is certainly in the public interest.

@jabel No general but General Ludd!

@jabel One of the things that bothers me about Britbox modern British mysteries is the ubiquitous cameras: “Kenny, check the surveillance cameras and see if we can spot [suspect] on the road to [crime scene]!” I don’t know if GB is that far down the panopticon road, but I hope not.

@ReaderJohn I don’t know much about it but I do recall a couple of Brits I knew on Twitter years ago talking about the ubiquity of CCTV.

@jabel This is not different from China’s governance over the past decade. Cameras are everywhere. The footage is used for both surveillance and social shaming. Video and pictures are often shared publicly to encourage people to avoid doing certain actions—like not using a crosswalk—again.

@KyleEssary I’ve heard a little about the social credit system. That’s a chilling prospect.

@tinyroofnail Yes! So glad you liked it. That one-for-every-two factoid gets quoted often at our house. Still can’t get my head around it.
