Don't know if it's these "AI cameras", but my garbage company started uploading videos of my "violations" to their portal to justify charging me more (bin was open a few inches a couple times). They have video of them picking up the bin (showing my car plates and house in the back), and also of the bin contents from another camera after they dump it into the truck.

I can only assume they're working on the "threw a non-recyclable item in recycle bin" logic so they can ~~charge more~~ protect the environment.

Okie dokie, guess I'll be installing super bright IR floodlights to maintain my privacy then.

Fuck your cameras lol

I'm very sympathetic to the crap waste people have to deal with but, yeah you can buy a dash cam at wal-mart. Please get that shit off your trucks. You can do it. I mean accidents happen you know. Cameras go missing all the time. I mean you are the waste management experts.

What is "clock code"?

The engineers behind these things need to be heavily blacklisted. “Oh yeah, Justin. He was one of the software engineers behind the garbage truck cameras. Toss his resume in the trash. Erica worked for Flock, toss hers too.”

Employers are already doing this, but I’d love to see it become more prevalent.

"EU bad! EU doing too much regulation!"
Meanwhile, Trumpist USA:

Why don't we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)

The Schizophrenic who believes the garbage men are spying on him is going to fucking lose it!

Wtf, is there nothing that isn’t for sale anymore?

I’m so tired, boss.

Can we stop with the dystopia for like…. A whole week?

AI surveillance. another method for LEO/palantir to get access to irl data.

Jokes on them. I already live under an HOA, and they do landscaping.

Will they take a picture before or after the fuckers in the truck somehow manage to fling my cans into the drainage ditch again

Yet another reason to move to the boonies where the only garbage truck is your own beater every couple weeks.

And you accidentally turn a whipped cream container into a steam rocket.

Great. Something cool was made into something shitty

Good fucking luck seeing where i live from the street. I'd build a compound wall if i could.

My city has them now. A friend of mine got flagged for overfilled bins. Before it only flagged you if the driver did, and the driver only would if it was egregious. The AI doesn't GAF and reports fucking everything apparently.
