Flock cameras are invariably deployed by local police departments.

Local officials are the most vulnerable class to being voted out, because local elections are dominated by local issues, not national issues or party politics.

Make the surveillance cameras a local election issue. Raise awareness at local community groups. Be loud. You will see them be taken down quickly.

Mastodon COULD be fine, if it had better discovery systems, and anyone at all used it.

X is now cesspool of alt-right toxic hate, intermixed with silicon valley AI tech bros, and politicians and clueless legacy media folks. Those are the only groups who still use it.

Meanwhile, Threads is just full of people who like to argue about random crap.

BlueSky is like X, but the opposite... it is alt-left toxic hate and mind-numbing social justice warriors who wont just chill out.

Most people who use social media, the 99%, don't want any of this. They just want to relax and chill and talk about fun things. That is what "old twitter" used to be, and it no longer exists, in any of these networks.

Yes but thats no bearing at all on the shares Ellison owned.

3 people A, B, and C own 1 share of a company valued at $10 per share, total market cap of the company is $30.

A decides to sell his share to B for $20. Each share is now valued at $20, so total market cap of the company is $60..

C was not involved in that transaction at all, but his shares doubled in value from $10 to $20. ON PAPER. He never transacted at all.

This is how the stock market works, at a much higher scale It is also why the idea of taxing unrealized gains is stupid. You're taxing money that doesn't actually exist. The real problem (and thing that needs to be dealt with) is people using unrealized gains to secure loans.

Great! But the lawsuits and regulations need to stop naming "Meta glasses" and be widened to cover ANY AND ALL recording without consent.

Laws and regulations need to be put into place on recording in public and what is allowed to be done with those recordings without consent. It's that simple. The concepts of privacy and consent that we have relied on as a society for the past few hundred years were not built to withstand the type of technology that is available today.

If you record in public without consent, the only thing you should be allowed to do with that video is maintain it in private and use it for security or investigative purposes for a fixed time window. Any other use should be prohibited, and yes that this includes use by the media.

If we want to let the media go around and record anyone they want without consent then you should have to get some kind of a license or pass some kind of a minimum bar that is invented because what's going on right now is just not OK.

There are HUNDREDS of brands of camera smart glasses on the market, most of them WITHOUT recording lights.

There are also THOUSANDS of types of OTHER wearable cameras, in every form factor you can think of - pins, pendants, buttons, you name it.

These things have existed FOR YEARS.

THIS IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY.

There is no right for a "first incident" grace because this is potentially happening to thousands of people and if they all just accept an apology for the "first incident" then Flock keeps getting away with it. Sue immediately.

She should not accept an apology. She has to sue, both the department as well as Flock.

The only thing that will end this is consequences for the department and Flock.

Go talk to a lawyer they eat stuff like this up.

Two problems with your statements

First problem: Waymos have been driving on highways for a long time.

Second, is you are looking at the data totally wrong. To be better than human drivers, all any *individual* Waymo driver has to have is more miles than *the average individual driver* - and that number is already passed by tens-of-thousands.

The "number of trips that happen in a single day" is not relevant whatsoever as a safety metric.

AlphaFold 3 is being developed by Isomorphic Labs, a different Alphabet subsidiary. The fact that it is no longer being developed by DeepMind is irrelevant to both the project and the world.

IE, this story is just bogus and poorly researched. There isn't much more to say about it.

Yep - and the taxpayers will pay millions, and the idiots responsible continue in their jobs.

So what?

Do you honestly think that it is going to be faster to

- Call 911
- Get an EMS vehicle dispatched
- Send it to them .. then to just go directly to EMS?

If you do, I think you need to rethink that process. Or, you have never before called 911.

Also, FYI, despite what you may think, ambulances DO have to follow the speed limit.

This whole process seems very dumb and not thought through.

If someone is not responsive in the back of a vehicle when the ride ends. the vehicle should just BE DRIVEN TO THE NEAREST EMS LOCATION, either the fire department or hospital. Calling the city EMS and wasting their time is nonsensical when the person IS IN A VEHICLE THAT DRIVES ITSELF ALREADY.

Then, if they get to the EMS and it turns out the person is just asleep, then charge them a few hundred dollars and reimburse the city.

I am deep in the AI space

And I can tell you, the number of companies that have deployed AI to production well, to any kind of degree, are very slim.

The problem isn't the technology. Its that most companies are staffed and run by incompetants, and are unable to change at the pace needed to get benefit from AI

The disruption caused by AI is going to be felt as existing Fortune 1000 companies all start being disrupted by other companies with half of the operating expenses.
