Hello, the title sums it up pretty much but here's some details. I live in the US and I have been working for a pretty big company for a few years. I noticed recently that they have put up Flock cameras at all entrances and I really object to it. I would consider a new job but three main factors are really preventing me from doing that. First, I like many of my coworkers and it makes my day easier. Second, I get paid well enough. Third, the job is nearby and its an easy commute. Essentially all the things I want in a job.

What I have done so far: I have contacted my union rep. The response from the union was essentially indifference to the idea. They claim Flock simply sends the data to our normal security team. They did mention that it was discussed recently otherwise. Last note, I work for a place where vandalism would not be possible due to the nature of the facility.

I'm not really sure what else to do but I didn't want to do nothing. What would you do?

Leaving the country is probably the best long term solution. Its not going to stop. These things are all going to be connected to data center AI and track everyone in real time.

Thats what the data centers are for. Not chat bots.

Well i dont know if thats true or not about the data centers but this is a trend that is happening all over the world as i understand it.

Not like in America. They are in a race to try and get to artificial general intelligence. Other countries dont have that kind of money either.

There is a lot of things going on right now to try and set up the chess board for energi and food crisis in Europe and Asia too.
