Flock is selling software called freeform which tracks people’s movements. I don’t know if it can be used on their current cameras or if they need upgrades or new cameras.

Also, flock was planning to use stolen information from a hack against a parking lot company until a news story came out about it. Flock got ahold of the hacked data, that included license plates and names on credit cards, and was planning to use it to identify car owners. After news stories released they said they would not use it but it shows that they are a shady company.

It’s just a loss of privacy. Those old cameras captured plates but now there are flock cameras everywhere and the data they capture is searchable nationwide. The data is being used by ICE to find people they want to arrest. There is little oversight of their use. If police want to track your phone they have to get a warrant and show it to your phone carrier. If they want to track your car they just look it up in flock. A lot of police officers are using flock lookups for their own personal use, like to track people they know.

I’m just repeating what 404 media said on their July 21 podcast. They said that the first reports of AI book buyups were in Spain and the Netherlands, from rare book traders. The theory is that these AI companies are in a race to get the rare books first because they will be scanned and destroyed and they know that the widely circulated books will be available later

Edit: and if you scan and destroy rare books then you have an advantage over the competition, another company can’t scan a book you’ve destroyed

They scan them and destroy them so other AI companies can never get them.

Saying the average buyer is almost underwater is another way of saying that the average buyer has made a profit.

They will require you to provide an alternate phone number in order to get a cellular service? So you can’t get a phone number unless you already have a phone number?

It’s not a conspiracy theory site. It’s a reputable news organization founded and run by a small team of journalists. Their reporting is great. Check it out

If people had money and were able to take care of their needs, they would spend more than the billionaire who just keeps it but doesn’t use it. Money spent would drive the economy creating revenue that can be reinvested into the business to increase efficiency and capacity.

But to address your point, redistributing billionaire wealth directly into workers hands wouldn’t make everyone rich. Yes people would have more money, at least at first. This is why socialists believe in controlling the means of production. Workers should share profits.

Workers should not be so desperate that they can’t afford to go on strike or take time off work to vote, or to have the time to find a good job.

Arguing that everyone can’t be rich isn’t a sincere argument. You’re creating a fictional scenario where everyone has millions of dollars.

So they’re using gasoline to run jet engines that rotate turbines that generate electricity? wtf
