Rogue AI = Must Watch
The short version: A mass-surveillance channel's warning about 'rogue AI' is a reminder that automated systems like Flock's ALPR network deserve the same scrutiny.
Our Take
The channel Digital ID, Mass Surveillance and Digital Currency flags "Rogue AI" as a must-watch, and whatever the specifics of that video, the broader point lands: once you hand decision-making over to automated systems, you lose the ability to question, appeal, or even see how a judgment was reached. That's not a hypothetical for anyone who's had their plate flagged by a Flock Safety camera network. These systems run 24/7, feed data into opaque algorithms, and share results across agencies with little public oversight — the exact dynamic that makes "rogue AI" a legitimate worry rather than science fiction.
We don't know the full argument this creator makes, and we're not going to pretend we do. But the underlying concern — unaccountable automated systems quietly expanding their reach into daily life — is precisely why we track ALPR deployments block by block. A camera that silently logs your movements and feeds that data into AI-driven alert systems is a small piece of the same puzzle these channels are sounding alarms about.
Credit to the creator for keeping these issues in public conversation, even when mainstream coverage looks away.
