Deborah Rose ❌👑Israel used the Iranian police state's own surveillance cameras to kill Khamenei. Here's a stunning example of why you don't want massive surveillance apparatus in your homeland. Iran, police state that it is, has cameras everywhere. Israel pawned them. 1/3
They built tools to track the movements of not just the leaders, but their drivers. Face recognition, licence plates, all the tricks. Social network analysis. They got to learn the patterns of all the drivers, who they were likely to drive, what it meant when this person went there. The stuff that Anthropic doesn't want the US military to do with Claude? They did stuff like that. So they knew where they were, and where to bomb, and when the time was right, they bombed. 2/3
So here's the lesson for all those wanting to build large networks of surveillance gears and cameras, who like how these can be used to monitor and control a population. Some day, no matter how good you think you are at securing them, somebody will be better. And they will use your police state tools to kill you. 3/3

Emily_S@DebErupts looks at next door neighbours ring doorbell and then at the CIA... Yeah... Don't even need the government to build it if you can persuade people to spend their own money on them.
Leroy@emily_s @DebErupts why we need regulation on cars and data transfer. Been yelling about this regarding Tesla since the talks of annexation (but they aren’t the only car brand with tonnes of cameras, but they are heavily invested in US Imperialism)
GhostOnTheHalfShellAll of this was field tested in Gaza.
all of this technology.
It is why Pete Hegseth exploding an anger at any public discussion that the military is working to engage in mass public surveillance US citizen well as automating kill chains.
This is their goal to have an automated military system of total public control, and subjugation
AdeptVeritatisAnd if you didn't make friends by then, you will be alone. Very alone.
Friends as in friends. Not supporters for your case. Supporters for you.
But you won't have them when building large networks of surveillance gears. Because nobody can ever trust you.

They didn't play Watch_dogs? I mean, it's the base mechanic of the game! If Ubisoft could envision it, surely their security experts could too.
Or did they think they were too smart for that?
LisPi@ScriptFanix @DebErupts It was a fun game with a number of good points.
It is dismaying how most people seem to have completely ignored them.
I'd thought it was enough of a "mass audience" thing to get the point through but nope.

I'm not much into the topic but think you made a minor mistake when saying "Anthropic doesn't want the US military to do...".
iirc they said they want these things but not in their backyards. Did they changed that position?
They also want to work with the military, but under different conditions, like protection their backyards and so on.
