Literally came here about to post an excerpt from the first chapter. Anyway, yeah like how do you wind up this cartoonishly orwellian? Sidewalk’s stated goal with data collection in this project is (roughly) to learn, run experiments, and figure out how to really run a city. But couldn’t they have done without some of the extreme bits here in the tiniest acknowledgement that maybe there’s a reason people like some amount of privacy and that maybe a sudden conversion to all-private-everything isn’t as good an experiment as they think?
