Palantir just released a new surveillance system that fuses satellites, radars and every camera into one real-time tracker of people and movement

We have to consider the possibility (probability?) that with Flock as the eyes, a system like this could be overlaid onto the US and we could be the targets.

Another reason we cannot allow Flock to exist.

What exactly was the point of the human in this? None of the targets were checked. The human clicked an "OK" box. Where is the chain of command? Where are the failsafes? Why won't that list of targets accidentally swap with a list of friendly assets somewhere were somebody isn't paying attention, because nobody using this will be paying attention?

The point of this is to make the users of it pay less attention to who they kill.
