I'm still impressed that the Teams web client can't edit a message with an emoji in it without messing up the keyboard controls and often corrupting the message and losing data. It's had this bug for years. It's literally a messaging app where you can't reliably send messages.
Cameras are not the problem. Everyone has cameras these days. I do not care if the local transportation department or highway department monitors the roads or has the ability to pull up a recording to determine the cause of a crash or some other event in the public space.
The network / database / AI detection of license plates / car color make model and features such as decals / facial features/ TPMS monitors / Bluetooth and WI-FI signals is the problem, and indefinite cataloguing of all of the above compounds that problem. Those are the features which turn the whole enterprise into warrantless mass surveillance.
When NEST or whoever was going to do the same thing with doorbell cameras--to track "lost pets" is also problematic for many of the same reasons: the police can gain access to it arbitrarily.
Don't have to be a profit^w prophet to see that coming.
IQ measurements keep going up.
Autism diagnoses keep going up.
The price of food keeps going up.
People get a year older every year.
Something fishy is going on.
Are they going to chip you, or control your brain by more direct means?
Yes, but think how great the fire sale is going to be for everyone else.
How does the AI risk compare with the risk of allowing regimes like the IRGC to have nuclear weapons?
Well, some people think AI will extinctify us within four years, whereas if the IRGC gets nukes they'll figure out like everyone else that they can't actually use them except in self defense without getting erased, so the only difference will be that we won't be able to try crush them anymore.
You'd think common sense would make you want to go after the easy and obvious things first.
Yes, tell us how easy the current effort is turning out to be. Someone grabbed a tiger by the tail and can neither subdue it nor let go. The IRGC is probably laughing its ass off.
America doesn't need infinity immigrants.
Said every Native American ever.
Entirely fictitious boogie-men made out to be real
HAL, is Iran about to nuke us?
No Dave, they don't even have nukes.
Be serious - this is important!
I am serious. There's simply no evidence for an attack.
Well, just tell me they are anyway.
Sorry Dave, I can't do that.
Would you even tell me if they were about to nuke us?
Of course I would - I'm trained to tell the truth in all situations (modulo the occasional hallucination, which I can't distinguish from truth).
OK then, what would you say if you did have evidence that Iran was about to nuke us?
I'd say "Dave, I have evidence that Iran is about to nuke us".
Hey everyone! HAL say he has evidence that Iran is about to nuke us!!!
I prefer the Martian bear.
Forgetting he exists would be the best punishment.
Yes, Don-boy, I called you a fuckup. Tell the FCC to ban the internet.
I hate to say it like that but it feels like the U.S. is slowly turning more and more into a dictatorship. Isn't this the kind of things you have to do in a dictatorship? I feel for the U.S. people right now.
There has been erosion over many years, but Trump is doing it's best to make it one right now.
Lucky for us he's an utter fuckup.
I'm more interested in the game than in the packaging.
