"This is rare in the world of today's policing." BS when you look at the number of interactions police have nation wide, the # going bad are very low. The bad ones are the exception not the norm!

"our privacy is for sale" your privacy was sold, and you were not involved in the transaction.

They just can't help but be evil and invasive.
This stuck out " and their surroundings" everything from their porn glasses, making "your" photos public for use by others and things like this are creepy.
And Meta just keeps getting creepier.

Until the political situation in Washington DC becomes more pliable($$$) again. Then it is business as usual.

At least they hope this empty feature will get their product accepted.
Their only problem is the biggest market for this product will end up harming many and helping few.

Why would this be surprising? They know if is or has been registered right?

And the supposed AI companies have chosen to throw AI(artificial Intelligence) out there for the Sales and Marketing push.
All these companies thought they were so close to AGI that a little fib in the beginning wouldn't matter!
But here we are years later still talking Intelligence when there isn't any!

When true AGI comes, I doubt that huge centralized data centers will be the main component.

One morning The RAF bombed Pforzeim. 17,600 died in the ensuing firestorm.

One evening. The USAF bombed during daylight and the RAF at night.

I got a phishing message in the last week from a WhatsApp business account claiming to be the hotel company that I'm going to be staying with in a couple of days. They wanted me to do some kind of confirmation process and warned that if I didn't do it within 24 hours I might lose the reservation. There were a couple of things that were odd, but it's not the first time that a hotel company has made me jump through hoops to do a pre-check-in. It was only when I saw that the link they sent me (which I opened in a private browsing session, of course) was to a page which had a booking.com header but wasn't a booking.com URL that I got suspicious, and they had a UI for card details with no clear explanation of what they wanted them for. At that point I opened the actual booking.com and sent a message to the hotel to double-check, and after sending that message I remembered reading a few months ago that booking.com had a data leak, but I bet the phishers who wrote to me have had some successes.

I think it's three separate purchases of gold and one handover to the scammer.

There is a difference between firms buying AI resources and firms using AI resources.

might be just me but this looks more like infestation than implementation assistance. Something tells me these employees will choose the tools in their approved tool box and not the best tools for the customers job.

if you are in the position of "get out of VMWare ASAP" you did not get caught. You made a series of bad choices over and extended time frame!
When ASAP comes up you have failed!

The bill just keeps getting larger and larger each time you push off dealing with the main core issues.

Then you are in agreement with this bill. The state is preventing local governments from creating these schemes and controlling the market. The people are free to use their "knowledgeable self interest" to decide what's best for them.
