The video linked below is a fascinating window into so many, many trends: state surveillance, COVID-19 case tracking and contact analysis, loss of any sense of community responsibility...
The context here is tracking the population of one small beach in Florida as they return home. Expand this to all the other beaches in FL, TX, AL and you can see why those state governors were idiots.
Anywho, the type of analysis shown in this video is what the Chinese are using to assign red/yellow/green infection risk status to individuals in China via a cellphone app. If your phone has come within 2 meters of another phone carried by an infected person, your phone turns red and you’re a social pariah with no access to stores, public transport, etc.
This is why AI is such a big deal. Not a muahaha evil computer mind taking over the world but real-time analysis of social data to control populations. And Google is helping the commies do it, but that’s another post.
