It is working perfectly as intended. It is intended to facilitate fascist authority, siphon wealth from municipalities, and help make cops feel tough so they can more efficiently lord over their communities.

I hope so. They have not done that in the city where I live despite ending their contrite flock. People need to agitate with their local government to take this additional step.

Please be aware that unless they physically remove the cameras, ending the agreement only removes local cop access to the data. Unless they physically remove the cameras, the cameras are still operating, tracking everyone, and violating everyone’s rights. Don’t settle for anything less than actual physical removal of the cameras.

Meta deserves all the scrutiny and scorn it is getting for this terrible project. You know who else deserves scorn? Ray-ban. They hitched their brand to this bullshit and should be held just as accountable.

People need to start physically intervening in the operation of these things. I think I saw a report once about a group in the UK that would attack cameras. I think they called themselves Bladerunners.

You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.

Translation: Google IR needs to start juicing quantum computing now that cracks are forming in the AI hype cycle.

Can’t wait to see how the system fails to make him account for this, again.

Yes, of course. A larger point that I’ve tried to make is that when China interferes with the market, they do it in a way that improves Chinese products, lowers prices for consumers. Conversely, when the US interferes with the market they increase prices, reduce consumer options, and reduces the quality of products.

If all that is true, then the US should subsidize US ev’s to the point where they are price competitive and open the market to competition where US manufacturers can market against the environmental and human right issues with their Chinese competitors. That would put competitive pressure on Chinese manufacturers to clean up their supply chains and consumers worldwide would benefit.

There is no incentive for US companies to improve their products when they are protected from market forces by import restrictions.

Are you in the US? Because if you are, they’ll never let you buy or import one.

It’s amusing to me that the same folks to deride Chinese car manufacturers because they are somehow cheating by getting support from the government are the same people demanding that the US government artificially protect the US car industry by blocking Chinese imports. The point being that neither side actually objects to government participation in the market. But, one side uses it to make better products and service consumers, and the other does it to protect worse products from market forces.

Honestly, I would screen potential employers by whether they are a Microsoft shop or not. Fuck ‘em.

Goddamn, it reproduced already?

Tim Cook needs more money to forge golden offerings for his good pal Donald trump.

They can block view of specific things, and force you to pay to unlock them. They can also add features you can subscribe to, like ‘make your spouse look more attractive’. I tell you, the business possibilities are endless.

I suggest we call it Slopi. Looking forward to opting out of this also.
