I guess the _obvious_ intent is they’re planning a heist? Because the following things never happen: - a security auditor checking for camera blind spots, - construction planning that requires understanding where there is power, - a potential customer assessing the security of a bank, - someone who is about to report an incident preparing to make the “it should be visible from the security camera” argument…

I mean… how did our imagination shrink so fast? I wrote this on my phone. These alternate scenarios just popped into my head.

And I bet our imagination didn’t shrink. The AI pilled state of mind is blocking us from using it.

If you are an engineer and stopped looking for alternative explanations or failure scenarios, you’re abdicating your responsibility btw.

I mean heck, I tend to just look at ceilings in stores and stuff for cameras because I’ve done it since I was a kid in department stores with those big black orbs in the ceiling. To this day it’s almost habit, and also if I’m gonna pick my nose I wanna smile if I’m on camera.
