Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they're spreading fast Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they're spreading fast You can't get a breath of fresh air ... without us knowing. Thanks to the rise of AI, a new kind of surveillance camera has rapidly proliferated across the United States. Typically referred to as automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, they're most often mounted along roadways, where they log the movements of cars which pass through their field of vision. Though various companies offer them, the most well known come from Flock Security, and the company has consequently been a lightning rod for public opinion. Shocking exactly nobody, there has been widespread public backlash to cameras that track everyone, whether or not they've been suspected of a crime.

The Guardian

Our dictionary of gaming terms helping you make sense of video game'slopaganda'. Our dictionary of gaming terms helping you make sense of video game'slopaganda'. As phrases like easter eggs and looksmaxxing enter everyday language, what other words from the world of video games might soon be mainstream? T wenty years ago, video games were seen as a niche hobby dominated by hardcore enthusiasts, tucked away in obscure online forums and gaming meet-ups.

Taylor Swift Wants to Trademark Her Likeness. These TikTok Deepfake Ads Show Why

WIRED

Researchers show scammers are using AI-manipulated footage of celebrity interviews to trick users into sharing their personal data. Last week, Taylor Swift filed a trio of trademark applications to protect her image and voice. One is meant to cover a well-known photograph of the pop singer holding a pink guitar during a concert on her record-breaking Eras tour, while the two sound trademarks are for simple identifying phrases: "Hey, it's Taylor Swift" and "Hey, it's Taylor." The move comes as AI deepfakes continue to proliferate across social media. Any individual stands to have their likeness exploited in the creation of nonconsensual AI-generated material; earlier this month, an Ohio man was the first person convicted under a new federal law criminalizing "intimate" visual deceptions of this sort.


The Best Subscription-Free Home Security Cameras I've Tried

WIRED

You don't have to upload your video to the cloud or pay a monthly fee to secure your home. In the age of state surveillance, with big tech trampling our data privacy rights and gouging us for every penny, there are plenty of reasons to keep your security camera footage local. Whether you want to save money or ensure your video doesn't end up in the hands of persons (or AI) unknown, subscription-free security cameras are the way to go. The good news is that locally recording security cameras are better than ever. I've been testing security cameras for a decade, and the gap between the best cloud-connected and local cameras is closing. You don't necessarily have to give up the best features to shirk that subscription anymore.
