He has a great video about Flock generally and the obscene unauthorized US nation wide data sharing on civilian surveillance by Flock, and some of the abuse by people with access and violations of individuals’ privacy. This abuse now extends within Canada as well.

Finally got a chance to read through this article I bookmarked by Daniel Boguslaw at The American Prospect ( read it, support it ). And I almost lost my soup when I got to this quote:
“I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote on Twitter last month. “I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust … I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over.”
Ya Think?!?!? try naming a few benevolent tech companies or governments. Go ahead. I'll wait. Then divide that number by the total number of them. I think if you ask any AI worth a damn how corporations can continue to grow in a capitalist society, I mean really ask, like press it hard when it tries to sugar coat it. Eventually, it will answer "screw the customer over."

The minister uses a spokesperson to lie for him- everyone in the actual field is saying this is not possible, no matter how much you insist it is.
"Simon Lafortune, a spokesperson for Mr. Anandasangaree, said “the existence of a lawful-access framework does not, on its own, make it impossible to operate a secure, privacy-protective service in Canada.”

#Trump unveils 'Super Intelligence Force' to oversee #AI policy
Osmond Chia, October 5, 2026
Excerpt: "In an interview published on 4 October, #OpenAI chief executive #SamAltman said the benefits of AI justify accepting some of its risks and argued that the technology should remain accessible to the public.
" 'The world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency,' Altman told Politico's technology-focused newsletter Decoded."

Philly-area war robot makers #Asylon and #Rajant reveal plans to score #military contracts
#Norristown ’s Asylon landed an investment from #Germany ’s #Bosch. #Rajant of #Malvern has hired a “top secret” team to win U.S. military work.
by Joseph N. DiStefano
Published Sept. 16, 2026"Two #Philadelphia -area robot developers who have sought more contracts from the rapidly increasing U.S. military budget have detailed growth plans with new investments.
"German-based #BoschVentures on Sept. 14 agreed to make a large new investment in Asylon, a Norristown-based robot systems maker whose products the Air Force is testing to perform automated aircraft inspections at its Warner Robins base in Georgia.
"Asylon also helps run #drone -based security systems for the #USAirForce and for civilian clients, including #CitizensBank.
"Bosch Ventures says it typically spends up to $30 million to buy up to 25% of each company it targets for investment. It has not confirmed how much it has pledged to Asylon.
Bosch, which has branch offices in the #US and #Israel, made its bet on Asylon after its Bosch Building Technologies affiliate became a user of Asylon’s DroneIQ platform.
"That placed Asylon’s birdlike Guardian flying drones and #DroneDog systems in position to detect and respond to intruders and other threats at Bosch’s building security and safety clients. Asylon’s #DroneDog systems are typically clipped onto #BostonDynamics ’ doglike #SpotRobots.
"Even before the latest investment, the relationship with Bosch helped Asylon in 'connecting traditional alarm infrastructure with autonomous robotic response,' Damon Henry, Asylon’s founder and CEO, said in a statement. "

The chickens have come home to roost, because tech sceptics have been talking about this for years - and the proof is in the pudding, thanks to #GamersNexus and Wendell of #Level1Techs. Of course the vendor denies it, in the face of irrefutable evidence.
We know that #surveillance capitalism is only getting worse and from it a #surveillancestate will be born.

@tobybryans yes, that's a good essay! I like the framing of "ok, that's enough, thank you".
We said something similar but with more of a UK bent in this article:

I rarely agree with Senator Rand Paul, but he’s got this one right… a matter on which liberal/progressives and libertarians can agree. A #SurveillanceState is not what the framers of the US constitution had in mind. Are we to become China, with the state always looking over our shoulders? Sacrificing privacy, liberty and personal freedom for supposed ‘safety’?

“There’s a growing backlash to the #surveillance systems that have quietly wired themselves into American neighborhoods, with concern growing among people who have never felt watched this way before. Gene talks with historian Matthew Guariglia about how the surveillance state got built, who it was built on first, and why opposing it now unites so many factions.” #SurveillanceState #SurveillanceLandscape #Flock #PatriotAct

Like Disney CA parks, Mallwart's scanning faces w/o consent.
They may collect:
1)BIOMETRIC iris/ retina imagery, palm prints, fingerprints, face geometry,
2)OTHER store layout analysis, checkout images,
3)ALPR license plate capture, analysis
Seems like they might be location-tracking store departments shopped.

On top of monitoring activists near #Anthropic execs & watching protests near Anthropic assets, it takes a “pre-crime” approach, trying to predict incidents before happening. That also means reporting suspects to police *before* a crime occurs.
Anthropic’s plans to surveil dissent are at odds w/ the firm’s efforts to cast itself as the responsible alternative to OpenAI. Anthropic did not respond to the Prospect’s request for comment.
