I don’t know if it’s AI, but where I live in the Bay Area, Waste Management spies on the contents of our recycling bins with cameras when the truck picks them up.

I have gotten warning emails with evidence of some transgression or another about 4 times since November 2024. All it says is “we found that at least one of your carts was filled incorrectly.”

Cool!

The best thing is the evidence they provide. It’s a blurry and pixelated 320 x 320 image that shows what could literally be anything.
