What this really tells me is that we have massive unreviewed data. This is imagery from decades ago still yielding fruit. We're getting close to having a replayable copy of history at centimeter resolution from multiple angles and through a broad spectrum.

  This doesn't deserve to be downvoted. The primary impediment to the implementation of a panopticon state has been the unrealistically high amount of human labor needed to analyze everyone's movements. With AI analysts, that barrier will be destroyed. Authoritarian governments are salivating at the prospect.

    Technologists abject refusal to acknowledge fear as a valid response to certain tecnological developments will be our downfall.

    It doesn't have to be watching everybody. Just enough that the subjects believe their behavior to be under scrutiny, and police themselves accordingly. At least, that's the principle of the panopticon. I've been reading We Have Been Harmonized, which talks about China's efforts to build something like this on a massive scale.

      The classical panopticon was phrased that way ("pretend that you're watching and everyone will fall in line") precisely because actually paying attention was infeasible. But anyone with half a brain knows that, up until now, 99% of cameras that you see (or don't see) are completely unmonitored, meaning that smart dissidents understand how to deal with them. Once every single camera has an AI agent phoning home and producing a real-time map of everyone's movements at all times, this becomes orders of magnitude more difficult. In the AI age, revolution becomes impossible. Hang on for dear life to your freedoms, because once they're gone, you're never getting them back, thanks to tech.

I think you are correct. The moon landing high resolution content is a great example of this.
