    “People behave themselves in a panopticon”-rich people

    Firstly no, people don’t. Second, they go crazy in one. And third, this basically breaks down the threads of both community and individualism to create a miserable nightmare

    Wait, isn’t this the father of Megan Ellison, the owner of Annapurna Interactive? The woman who just made her entire team so mad they quit.

    Maybe billionaires should be filmed and streamed continuously, since their behavior has such a big impact on the world. If they don’t like it maybe we shouldn’t allow them to control such incredible assets. I’m sure billionaires have nothing sketchy to hide, right? What we will see is probably how they are hard working people who are not at all detached from normal folks. Right?

    By “citizens” he means poor people, naturally, and by “best behaviour” he means obedience to authority.

    “We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

    And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:

    1. Another cop

    2. A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.

      Even if his vision for the future worked perfectly (which it won’t) and wasn’t abused (which it will be, rampantly and immediately), it’s still a complete dystopian nightmare lol
