Jim Love covers four tech headlines for Aug. 10, 2026: the expanding backlash against Flock license-plate surveillance cameras, Cloudflare's warning that bot traffic could overwhelm human internet activity, clarification that New Orleans is not replacing 911 dispatchers with AI, and Roku's launch of a 24/7 channel for AI-generated entertainment. He reports that dozens of cities have rejected Flock amid privacy concerns, documented misuse, security exposures, and even vandalism fueled by a Google AI Overview that repeated false claims about valuable metals in the devices. Cloudflare data shows bots already exceed human web requests, with executives predicting a dramatic rise driven by AI agents. New Orleans is using AI for 311 info calls and for 911 duplicate-call triage, not emergency handling. Finally, Roku's Fairground AI Creator TV curates AI-made shows, drawing mixed reviews.
