Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoI looked at the map of known cameras in my area, and I think I could take many of them out. Especially if a drone with spray paint is available. The issue is that those are the known ones, and there are plenty of cameras or license plate readers that aren’t from flock. I know for a fact that when my neighbor went missing in 2020/2021, they tried to find him using license plate readers, and those weren’t flocks, I’d bet. Plus you have just the regular surveillance cameras that a lot of businesses have, and we now know that police can put in work when it’s a big money person’s interests on the line, like with the uhc ceo and, in this case palantir’s deep pockets.

It’s too bad there isn’t a way to use something like a flipper zero to compromise the cameras and simply disable them, or insert malicious video files into their network…
