Steve Jobs explained the architecture in 1992:
Eliminate the warehouse of THINGS by building a warehouse of DATA.
1992: instrument the factory.
2026: instrument society.
People see Flock cameras and think the camera is the surveillance. 📷
That's just the loading dock.
Underneath is the iceberg: phone + car + face + plate + payments + location + work + medical + tax + communications + relationships + movement + years of behaviour.
LifeLog → sensors → identity → data centres → AI.
The factory became society.
The warehouse became the model.
And we became the inventory. 🧊🏭👁️
Project Athena made computing persist around the person. DARPA's LifeLog proposed making a computational record persist about the person. Hear the architectural prehistory on the original Steve Jobs tape. https://lifelog.felineunion.org/lifelog-intersection-analysis.html
