Anyone who would fund or build this is, in my mind, taxonomically evil. Maybe not irretrievably so, but YC would need to do a lot of work in my mind to not be "that form that believes the panopticon and dehumanization is good."

This isn't just run of the mill capitalism bad, this is truly exceptionally vile and staining.

Probably depends what the pitch was. "Monitor assembly lines using AI so you can tell when a machine breaks" is radically different from "constantly snitch on all your factory workers".
I wonder where monitor assembly lines to ensure people are following work instructions sits?
Ensuring order of operation was a big deal at the company I worked, but this isn't going to be able to track that.
Or protect your workers, keep them safe....
