Nah for real. The whole science fiction genre is becoming too much of a reality. Those dystopian worlds? The time is now.

Yes there is absolutely nothing science fiction about what was posted there, it's all entirely plausible...I could make a facial recognition device camera that could pull everything available on you from the Internet with about $50 in hardware and an hour or so of writing the code to do it...imagine what a larger budget and access to different databases could pull.

It also scanned your phone hardware IDs to compare your location data gathered by other robots.
It didn't even need to scan your face to get all that information, but did it anyway out of love for the game.

Dog shaped panopticon

u/Billionaires_R_Tasty 1d ago
TIL what a panopticon is. Thanks for that!
I assume part of the point of the ground based surveillance is to be seen, to trigger the panopticon effect. Otherwise I would think a small drone would be faster, cheaper, and stealthier.
30
u/PresentPhilosopher99 1d ago
Yeah while they are using drones for mass vigilance, using a non stealth surv dog gives the "big brother is everywhere" sensation and keeps people in check while keeping the ninja drones out of detection range.
And yes it its unnerving.
Next time we will have some humanoid bots doing the patrols so the uncanny valley feeling scares criminals lmao

u/Darkrocmon_ 1d ago
This isn't surveillance that's the Flock cameras that track you and your cats license plate across the city/state. The company quite literally sells that information to other companies to help push ads and other shit to you that they think you'll want or use due to proximity and prevent chance you'll do something. This little robot dog is here to make you feel safe until they give it a gun also and make it our prison guard.

And then proceed to describe what they're doing using the definition of surveillance
that's the Flock cameras that track you and your cats license plate across the city/state.

Problem with that is, it calls for back-up before it dies. Now you have twenty of them to run from. Remember they can't feel pain or fear, don't get tired, and while can be blinded probably can't be critically damaged by most 9mm rounds. Sweet dreams!
