Palantir just released a new surveillance system that fuses satellites, radars and every camera into one real-time tracker of people and movement

We have to consider the possibility (probability?) that with Flock as the eyes, a system like this could be overlaid onto the US and we could be the targets.

Another reason we cannot allow Flock to exist.

You didn't think those data centers were for LLMs and kitch image and video generation, did you? (Non-existent tinfoil hat emoji)

    All this movie-like stuff and still got humbled by Iranians.

    They will combine this with those solar mirror satellites that were prooosed and you just select your target to fry from the safety of outerspace.

    When that day comes, I hope we get hit by a giant asteroid, and after an initial societal collapse and disease outbreak that only wildlife survives.

    We have to consider the possibility (probability?) face the reality that with Flock as the eyes, a system exactly like this could be has been overlaid onto the US and we could be are the targets. -fixed that for you

    Yeah!

    Assuming the system is secure ! It never is. Data breach happen. More so when your goal is to increase profit and reduce workforce (cost). Imagine China or Russia or anyone else having acces to that killchain for a fraction of second. It is automated, missile launched.

    Thoses human -were here for a reason. It is a human that prevented a nuclear holocaust when russian falsely detected an attack during cold war.

    What about data poisoning, error, mistake ?

    Why are we as a species doing this ? who want that ? why ? With a fraction of the cost, you can feed, educate, house homeless peoples. Now you can have artists, nurse, teachers, scientist.

    Fuck.

    But i am hopefull, i need to ! I post that on a federated open source and free social media made by human for human. It help me a lot. Diverse and united.

    What exactly was the point of the human in this? None of the targets were checked. The human clicked an "OK" box. Where is the chain of command? Where are the failsafes? Why won't that list of targets accidentally swap with a list of friendly assets somewhere were somebody isn't paying attention, because nobody using this will be paying attention?

    The point of this is to make the users of it pay less attention to who they kill.

    So many corporate euphemisms for murder.

    Can you imagine living your whole life in essentially middle of nowhere only to get orbitally bombed by an AI driven kanban board that determined you were a threat.

    "prosecute a target"?

    to officially start a legal case or criminal charge against a person in court to prove they are guilty.

    This video feels a bit weird. They select a stryker icv ground based asset, then the target vehicle just magically blows up 2 seconds later. Like there wasn't a convoy of people driving through hostile territory to go find this guy and do the job.
