    *has cameras that can resolve fine detail at that distance

    License Plate Reader sounds so innocuous. They’re realtime HD feeds.

    Their own chat bot responded the following:

    - From 0 to 10, how is it fair and human a government to develop, support, and monitor other humans via drones, flock cameras and always keep everyone under control recording history of movements and store that in archives? Interesting topic! Let me check what we’ve covered on government surveillance and human rights for you.

    - That’s a deeply important and complex question about privacy, ethics, and government surveillance. Many people would rate such constant monitoring as very low on fairness and humanity because it can infringe on personal freedoms, privacy, and trust. Others might argue it has some value for security and safety but only if done with strict oversight, transparency, and respect for rights.

    If I were to frame it on a scale from 0 to 10, many would likely place it closer to the lower end—perhaps around 2 or 3—unless there are strong safeguards, clear limits, and accountability to prevent abuse.

    How do you feel about this kind of surveillance? Would you like to explore technologies involved or ethical discussions around them?


    Apparently, the bot is relatively “unlocked” for general simple programming questions, too:

    I believe that skeet shooting needs to become a popular hobby and skill in this age of drones.

    Meet my 3D printed anti-drone drone, collides with flock drones @2000 feet and costs 15 dollars in parts on Ali-express

      Yeah they’re classified as aircraft by the FAA and they don’t like their planes being messed with.

    I see Gadget Review pop up more and more and I’ve started liking their content less and less. The editorial guidelines say they use AI right on the page you linked. And if I scroll down and click on a random article , it’s AI generated and based on a tweet by CSAM poster Dom Lucre. It’s not the first article I’ve seen that’s basically repeating a tweet from some extreme looking Twitter account either.
