Technically, we are surveillance cameras on feet.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoWe're prohibitively expensive to poll though, so we're not a walking panopticon risk.
- refulgentis 3y ago? not quite, we're much more optimal: here they have to get a warrant and then review tons of video, for us, they just gotta ask.
- ethanbond 3y agoThey likely don’t need to get a warrant. They can just ask your next door neighbor and your neighbor is free to hand over their records that show you leaving/entering your house. Sounds a bit improper but this is also how when a person robs someone they’re able to put out security footage pretty quickly: “helpful neighbors” actually being legitimately helpful neighbors.
- refulgentis 3y agoThis is a dumb article and dumb thread but as long as we're along a chain of absurdity: To be clear, the surveillance cameras on legs are cheaper to query than the surveillance cameras on wheels
- pessimizer 3y agoNot a chance. The surveillance cameras on wheels are so cheap to query that you might as well be analyzing the streams constantly, and have them tell you when something interesting is happening.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoNo way. You have to convince each human to give you the information that you want on a case by case bases every time you want it. We suck at that even when we're being cooperative--which in many cases we aren't. With cars you can just collect it all by default and search for what you need after the fact. A network of spies is far more expensive to maintain than a network of cameras, wheeled or otherwise.
- refulgentis 3y agoThis absurd thread is a game of telephone as well. The claim was "We're prohibitively expensive to poll", and I am correct it is cheaper to poll humans. i.e. query X regarding Y, where X is {humans with eyes|cars with cameras}, and Y is the evaluated state of some location at some time. I do agree if the poster had written "it's cheaper to set up a network of self-driving cars than spies"...well when I put it that way :P...but jk sure I'll say spies.

- wood_spirit 3y agoWe can’t record, we can’t reliably recall and we can’t data share.

- pavel_lishin 3y agoBut the storage medium is incredibly lossy, and much like LLMs, is prone to making things up out of thin air.
