I'd have to say that's pretty much proof that you're a retard. Every bug is a potential entry point for malware or bad-actors, shit-for-brains.

We seem to misunderstand each other.

The same position is reached 25 times per second, because it does it 25 times per second.

ALL the views around are ALSO captured 25 times per second.

Can it generate bank sites where people an enter their user names and passwords?

If yes, I take 2.

Install Ubuntu, it has a GUI package manager and work very well, if you buy a system that is designed to run it. I gave my nephew one and he uses codex now to make apps in Linux. It teaches him what to do. Kids have enormously plastic minds and can learn a new system very quickly. Just ask anyone who ever went from an Xbox to a play station or even from one gaming hud to another. They will be fine

Two great sources to get you started:

Michael Burry, the guy from The Big Short who foresaw the housing crisis of 2008. This guy know his numbers: https://michaeljburry.substack...

Ed Zitron, investigative journalist. He's been cataloging the AI bubble for a few years now, demonstrating that AI is not profitable and not AGI: https://www.wheresyoured.at/

These guys are in-depth, detailed, and thorough. You'll have to put a few hours into reading them to really understand all the details, but you can get a pretty good AI summary quickly, ironically enough. They both say essentially the same thing: LLMs might be a useful $1000B SaaS vertical, but they are not a $5 Trillion replacement for human labor - and we're investing capex like they are the latter. This is a bad thing.

Only a matter of time before it becomes possible to decode people's internal monologues remotely.

Or just train yourself to think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts, thin unsexy thoughts...

I am not writing in support of flock cameras. You and Compact Disk Reader are are deeply stupid. I don't even know where to start. You all can call me whatever names you want and brigade with your disagree mods but it does not change the fact that everything you support hands dangerous people more power.

You fools can run around going derp derp derp "flock" all you like but at the end of the day. Even if you get them taken down, big if, Target corporation and friends will just put them up. Someone will buy and aggregate the data. The police will have it again, and this time with LESS accountability.

I am trying to help you, by pointing out the problem is the unique identifiers, and people having 'to much freedom' to photo anyone and everything because it happens to be outdoors and do whatever they like with it.

But sure call me names or whatever. Don't worry I usually dismiss everything you two dipshits have to say too. At least drinkypoo says something smart every now and again. You two on the other hand never contribute anything useful.

An copper. You really don't need to risk getting caught, just make sure all the local tweekers know there's a ton of copper in those things.

Your city is the frog that got boiled alive. Winona has people who are noticing what was happening and trying to jump out of the pot.

Like how people resisted the body scanners at first. "Oh the millimeter wave machines aren't as bad" and they have a false positive rate so high they're basically worthless. 90% of hijackings, including Lockerbee and 9/11, were government intelligent funded psychological operations. Even the shoebomber was basically put there by the FBI.

Still, I hope this isn't a speed bump. I hope people continue to tear these cameras down without getting caught and the governments reverse the massive surveillance trends.

AI gooners are always telling us what it *will* do if we just wait a few more years - AGI is just around the corner! -The plain fact is that LLM inference systems are plateauing, with exponentially more power needed for smaller and smaller gains. The limit they are hitting is real and far below AGI.

So to be clear the issue isn't really about privacy at all. That is just noise. People trying to make it about privacy are liars.

The issues are:
1) A lot of people are intentionally commiting crimes of various severity and they don't actually want police to have a more effective enforcement tool

2) Some fear about false positives. Which I think is also over blown. Sure one woman was pulled from her car, and yes laziness and lack of understanding about how the system works lead to that. So sure the incident involved Flock but really policy have pulling people over or doing things like stop and frisk and getting overly aggressive for stupid reasons as long as we have had police. Flock isn't new here and really does not change anything.

The real problem is license plates at all. THAT should have never been accepted. Nobody plated up their horse or their horse cart. You can't in 2026 go around with a unique identifier being displayed or transmitted and NOT expect to be tracked everyone. You won't prevent government from collecting that data and using for things you both do and do not support. You certainly won't prevent other private parties from acquiring it and doing abusive things with it.

Flock is the symptom not the disease. People either need to demand anonymity and insist we stop displaying things like plates at all, and actually limit public photography, or just accept we will be tracked everywhere. There is no middle ground to be had.

Anybody remember Dubbya going on and on about gasoline made from switchgrass?

Somehow growing succulents in fragile desert ecologies and irrigating them seems like a dead end.

Maybe they got a government grant.

As someone alluded to above the forest litter causing all these fires may be a good source of cellulose. Betcha robots could make it economical.

News for the observed, Stuff that's captured

Whatever they're doing on the Neo front, it's been successful. I picked up several for my kids while they were at the $599 price point. They're plenty "good enough" and at least I know Apple will support them for a few years with OS updates/patches.
