AI cameras being set up on highways to catch drivers who throw trash out of their car windows::The decision to install cameras in UK lay-bys aims to prevent littering but one campaign group described the approach as “meaningless.”
Gee, I’m sure there aren’t any national security ulterior motives…
I’m just not convinced that there is one government out there that doesn’t spy on its people one way or another.
They’ll never ever give up the ability to collect intel on its own people, but we can sure put up a fight and hold them off as best we can.
Wonder how the founding fathers would feel about this, but kinda expect just to find out they were doing the same thing but with physical people/spies
Who are the UKs founding fathers? King Arthur and his knights?
If you were going to consider the UK monarchy in it’s most recent form, you’d go back to the Norman invasion of 1066 and King William the Conqueror.
Most of the big land owners in the UK to this day can be traced back to the Norman conquest.
If you were going to consider the UK in its modern parliamentary form, you’d go back to the English civil war (1642-1651) where Oliver Cromwell overthrew King Charles I.
I was applying the story to the states who also share a problem in this, sorry for the confusion
They were part of the capitalist class. Aside from being extremely confused about the tech, they’d most likely support it.
Cameras can already read plates, it’s not that difficult via machine learning
Yo, I hate litter and hate litter bugs even more, but this is the worst way to approach it.
Just put a bounty on litter bugs using dashcam footage. $100. Watch it get fixed overnight.
Snitches get riches
They sell it like this, “just to catch the littering people, we all hate litter and nobody here would oppose that, right?” but the actual reasons they want these are a lot worse.
It’s the same reason you’re seeing that “Sweet Caroline” AI commercial constantly with the child’s voiceover.
Should fine the people camping out in the fast lane
Right lane… This is the UK.
Ah updated to fast lane
Good. Now go get my wife who lobs lit ciggies.
Might be time for an AI Wife
God I’d shove the entire U.S Navy up my ass for an AI wife that lobs cigarettes at me.
I never thought about that as a romantic story before… but here we are.
They can’t stop piles of flytipping but they can do this. Jokes.
Fly tipping? I’ve never heard of that. Doesn’t sound as effective as cow tipping. I mean, the fly is just gonna fly. Plus if you tip it, it wouldn’t make a nice satisfying thud.
Cow tipping isn’t real. No way anyone can push over half a ton of moo. It’s a wierd urban myth. (From the guy who ruins jokes)
You don’t need to be pushy at all. A cow does what they are paid to do. It doesn’t matter if you tip them or not. But if you tip them, they might go into hiding until the coast is clear. Or they might go into the coast and get great surt depending on what sort of tip you gave them. You could tip them with a dollar or by hand or with a large truck or with some secret information about the police or maybe with the most awesome surfing spot. But no matter how you tip a cow, 😜🐄 it’s always funny.
