Shooting requires intent. Quit anthropomorphising guns and put the criminals in jail.

I think the earbud cameras are looking inward. And if they can see each other, they know they have a loyal Apple customer.

... ghost students. While I have to stand in line and wait until the doors are unlocked, they just walk right through the walls,

Isaac Asimov touched upon this in his "robot series" of stories. Humans degenerating into a state where they can no longer deal with person-to-person contact and society eventually collapses.

What's the electronic version of a pork chop tied around my neck?

Good question. Are these mobile wireless hotspots just open to the Internet? Or are they configured as VPNs to a library or school network? I don't know about schools, but our local library has a pretty decent filtering system for 17 and under. I'm not certain that all social media sites are reachable from the library network. And by extension, these WiFi hotspots might not allow it either.

"Actual students" can put at most one butt in a classroom chair. The 'bots might be enrolling hundreds, for the benefit of one human.

And if you are not showing up for class (like some frat bros don't) I'd argue that you are not actual and are taking up a seat that a real student could use.

... a professor worried about this stuff? Shouldn't the college administration be handling it? Teach the class, even if some people are just lurking to audit it (I've done this). And then skip over the work submitted by non-enrolled students, as determined by administration.

Certainly, no financial aid should be handed out to people that don't show up in person at some point.

This could open up a whole new business area for notaries. Live in a remote location and need to establish your validity? Show up in person with an ID and have them certify that you are not a 'bot.

... the Swiss franchise for RFID blocking wallets.

Right. A true democracy at work. Now pardon me while I take my SIG 550 to the range for some target practice.

I'd expect the search to be run on the server end. Sure, the prompt will be more involved. But that's just HTML forms and a touch of JavaScript. Also the responsibility of the server end. Any old browser should do.

The knowledge base (the large language model) will have to be updated frequently, as the web crawlers discover new current events. Distributing them to every browser so that they can then process their own searches is the logical equivalent of Google sending out copies of its database on a daily basis. A fool's errand, if ever there was one.
