    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    There are age verification laws because the companies are cheap and don't want to do the work themselves. That's obvious. But, again, I can choose not to use Facebook, or X, or any of those websites. The Flock stuff is persistent surveillance that I can't opt out of (not that I have to, not...

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    No. One is a choice I can make, and unmake, at my own discretion. I would have no power to stop the tracking if the government puts up these cameras in my area and starts tracking my every movement. If they want to give citizens the ability to turn off flock cameras, or make ourselves invisible...

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    Agreed. If a cop chooses to physically follow a person around because they are the subject of an investigation that is a far different creature than having cameras follow everyone regardless of investigations in case one of us commits a crime and they want to search the database. The second you...

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    People keep pointing to smartphones when this is discussed but that's a bad argument. People make a choice to buy a smartphone and leave it turned on. I can take turn the thing off and stick it in a drawer and the tracking from that thing stops. People have not entered into a contract or made a...

    NVIDIA and OpenAI Reportedly Discuss $250 Billion Deal for 10-Gigawatt Ohio Data Center

    Yep. Its not like these buildings are going to have massive teams of security. They're going to keep minimal staff on site to provide basic levels of security and hope it all works out. I don't see these corporations hiring the best of the best in terms of physical security.

    How AI will fail

    Corporations generally don't give a shit about the environment. They push for "green initiatives" when it helps them sell products. Water is, yes, the "environment" as is noise, as is digging up lots of wildlife. Pollution from the power has taken a backseat, yes, because people right now are...

    You think Amazon was pro-environment at any point? They're like most corporations, they advertise what sells.

    Meta Unveils an Open Version of Its Most Powerful A.I. Model

    My bet is that he's trying to get some good press right now. Between the recent lawsuits about suicides and the issue with his ship up in Alaska he's taking a beating in the press.

    EA May Go Private in $50 Billion Buyout By Multinational Investors

    Yep. This is my bet on the whole thing. They'll shut down, or ditch, anything that doesn't fit their cultural mould and just suck the profits out of the sports IP for as long as they can. If anyone thinks Saudi is going to start producing anything challenging to risky you're fooling yourself. I...

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    Make money for the city? More likely that the council members and/or mayor were paid off quite nicely to sign the contract. Make more money for them, city/town coffers are a secondary concern.

    How AI will fail

    The people who want their AI aren't the same people who were pushing wanting to clean up the environment. Your comment makes it seem like "they" are a group that changed their mind.

    It is pretty bad when even Texas is putting the brakes on AI Data centres. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/texas-halts-data-center-connections-to-power-grid-amid-overwhelming-demand/

    GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information

    If I had to travel to the US today I'd simply back up my phone locally, wipe it, load the basics and then go. I'd wait until I'm in the country and then login to my email and other things. Then before I leave I'd wipe it all again. With how easy backups and restores are these days it isn't that...

    Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations

    That's the point. Laws don't evolve fast. They're slow as cold molasses making changes in laws and companies like the entire tech industry take advantage of that by jumping through loopholes like gangbusters until the politicians manage to get around to close them (after their favourite...

    Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations

    This is the thing that bugs most people I think. If you or I pulled even half of the shit these people did then we'd be in jail or be sued into oblivion. Whether that's all the digital shit of letting AI loose to hack companies or all the illegal shit they're doing to build data centres ... the...
