Yes, because users understand those kinds of choices.

Too soon!

POTUS: Why did you launch our Thermonuclear Warheads at China and Russia? ChatGPT: You are right to push back, and my previous action was obviously not what you intended. I will no longer launch Thermonuclear Warheads at China or Russia without your confirmation.

It's so interesting to me how people who frequent a site like Slashdot have no imagination. I can decrypt your phone? I can build a motive. I can build a story. What's worse, is I can plant evidence. You were here and there, you google'd for this, read an article about that. Just so happened to be close to this, and that. Suddenly you are arrested and you have no idea why.

You're in jail. You did nothing wrong, except to advocate to give whatever power to the state the state wants. Good luck with your lack of privacy. If there is exculpatory evidence too, better hope the cop wants actual justice and not just another point on his win / loss record, because there are those too...

Honestly, I am shocked the president, along with his foreign counterparts hasnt used the DPA to limit the NAND and DRAM chips available to AI companies to stabilize the market for consumer electronics until such a time as the market can expand. But then again, this is for the billionaire class, so anything goes.

Way more than cheaper rides.
* App to summon
* Automatic driver mapping to pickup
* Predictable arrival for pickup
* Predictable arrival for drop off
* No BS routing and you knew the cost before pickup/dropoff.

Back in the day I called for cabs ahead of time and had them fail to show up 25% of the time. I've never lived in a dangerous area, so that wasn't it. They just were not reliable or predictable. Uber saw a huge opening for a service and they took it. They also saw a huge opportunity for destroying the existing market solution in an anti-competitive and illegal way and took that, too - banking on the notion that government would not act fast enough to stop them. And they were right.

I think they learned not to respond that way 250 years ago.

And because cars are a certain size. Making it half the size for just one person would be nearly as expensive and would be worse for taxi'ing 2 people (which are still a reasonable number of fares).

These are all half measures. The FCC should just pass a rule that every call must carry its 10 digit account id as the phone number. End. Of. Story. Even international calls should have to carry their customer's account number, or if it is a business, one of THAT BUSINESSES' phone numbers. That way, you can "Know your caller". If they land a call that doesn't have the right info, the originating carrier should be fined, then have a timeout on placing calls, and let them explain it to their carriers.

The $100k is going to be a cash grab for government, business will make it transferable. Remember, government isnt try to stop an activity, just maximize its own take for it to just barely make sense.

Yeah, thats exactly how it works.

Account closed.
I created my twitter account when the service was practically new and only used it a handful of times - so I might not be the target audience. Even so, I miss the original idea of it.

Oh for fucks sake just turn on FSD Supervised then change the tune.

The federal government gives moneys to local police to install them.

If they pay for it they can do whatever they want with it. If they buy the Mona Lisa and decide destroying it is what they want to do that is their decision. No one else cares enough to get the book first or outbid them for it.

They wont vote for or against Flock. Thats not how it works. Flock will be in an NDAA or Omnibus bill. It will be "We have to pay our veterans", or "This bill will keep the government funded". Then every one of these assholes who want cover will say "We dont like the Flock stuff in the bill, but we have to pass it for reasons". No one gets blamed, and Americans hate "other congressmen, not my guy".

Flock is something each and every one of them will believe is good for the country because "terrorists" or "anti-semites". In reality, it's just so when they decide they dont like what you say, they will find a reason to come get you. America is dead, long live America.
