That's exactly what should happen.

For once this is a happy story about AI which occurred through the user's ignorance. They were stupid enough to think they wouldn't get reported because they were talking to an automated system.

In a first world country this either would be a story about a woman being reported to the police for a threat by their therapist, or it wouldn't have happened in the first place, because she would have access to mental health care instead of trivial access to firearms despite being mentally incompetent.

You're the person in this thread imagining that we know how the human mind works and therefore we can know that AI is working in the same way.

Everyone who knows anything about computing knows that output results from either a RNG or computation, so it's not a revelation that there's something happening to produce the output, and it's not a mic drop.

Who is making mindless rants about Flock? People who have never felt threatened by crime and maybe some fucked up weirdos who are either casual criminals or secretly aspire to be ones.

Thank you for showing us that your lens is cracked.

Pervasive surveillance is antithetical to a Free Society. Period.

Weird. Communications just aren't all that important to you. *shrug*

Let's hope you never have a need for communications. Actually, since you do not want anyone else to have it either, I hope for ALL of us that a dire emergency where communication would save lives never happens.

I can agree that in non-emergencies, AM radio is an utter waste. I can agree that emergencies where major infrastructure is not terribly impacted, AM radio is a waste. If even one bomb gets dropped, you would be VERY glad for AM radio. The amount of infrastructure it needs is so minimal that a singular individual could stand up a station with minimal infrastructure. A shame all of the Radio Shacks are gone now. Makes it slightly more difficult to set up an AM transmitter.

America had a republic until Lincolns' War of Northern Aggression.

Oh look, it's the hipster maggot come along to tell us all how great slavery was.

Look bro, have you ever heard this saying:

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."
-- H.L. Mencken"

It was indeed, the War of Northern Aggression. The reasoning by the North was valid, the path taken was not. That should be fixed first. Centralized power is the ill that is killing the USA right now.

Since some people are unable to think clearly, what I am saying is that Slavery absolutely *IS* bad; however, the ends do not justify the means.
