"Flock can be used to track the whereabouts of individual people… police do not get a warrant in order to use the system, and…, if they have access to the system, they have the technical ability to look up any license plate they want for any reason they want."

A couple things I think are worth adding: OpenAI is a big backer of KOSA and Elon Musk not only endorsed it but informed the language of the bill.
Passing KOSA/ID verification in exchange for state AI preemption is being framed as a “tradeoff” but it's exactly what big tech has been lobbying for!
Very important point: SoftBank was pledging *all* of its OpenAI stock (worth $60bn+ on paper) to get a $6 billion margin loan. Banks turned it down due to concerns about the value of OpenAI stock. Banks clearly do not think OpenAI is worth $852 billion.

I'm reading an article, I look at the sources, and I see in all the URLs `?utm_source=chatgpt.com` 🤦
"This creates a searchable database of everyone, not just the suspects of crime."
"if you were to build a graph of that sheet and plot it to a map, now it's as if you've had a GPS on your car for an entire month."
