Ah, the Panopticon. How novel.
So billionaires will pay the right amount of taxes! Oh wait!
Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.
you hear a sudden beep in your ears
"Sir you've not been smiling. We really want citizens to be smiling!"
I heard a guy tell a story about a vast AI-fueled cluster of bombs strapped to Larry's head set to trigger if he says objectively inhumane, anti-democratic shit can ensure Larry stays a lot quieter.
Panopticon will not be the way
Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?
Sure, it could, but should it? No of course not, a safe "utopian" society through force is dystopian and still unsafe (just now the danger is sanctioned, don't run afoul of Lord AI) in reality.
I'll take the possibility of getting shot by some dickhead over AI overlords watching my every move any day of the week.

It will only ensure the opposite.
Can we apply it to tax cheats first?
He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.
The text is behind a paywall and I would actually like to see the details of what this idiot fuck said.
Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.
Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It's already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don't seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don't care, and their leaders' leaders don't care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.
Lemme guess... Based on oracle no doubt. The wrong people are gonna prosper the next 4 years.
