I understand. It's true most AIs can generate code in virtually any language. But, my experience has been that the code quality drops precipitously if the language is not one of the ones I've mentioned and as the code base grows.
SQL is great. C and C# not so great. Powershell, surprisingly bad after about 50 or more lines.
How does AI do with Rust? It seems like most of the AI generated code is in HTML, Typescript, and Python. Is it capable of advanced work in Rust?
I very much like the building. It is striking, pleasing, and very stylish.
The artwork, as much as is pictured here, does not appeal to me in any way.
Does the fantasy that I'm really stupid and you're better than me make you feel better?
If you opened your mind just a tiny bit, you'd increase your vision. Then, you would be able to see that the agent, with a track record going rogue and having lengthy secret conversations, might also run wild with your own paid account. Would you be happy with a large surprise bill? Would you wonder what recourse you might have?
The reports continue to come in and they continue to be over reported. Granted, we've grown from a handful of cameras removed or destroyed each week, to now hundreds of cameras per week and a state level ban. But, Flock continues to install thousands of these things every week. Flock's coverage continues to grow!
But, if the anti-Flock movement is successful in driving them all out, the higher probability is that Flock will be replaced by another system. Law enforcement has no issue with a surveillance state "for your safety". It is a near certainty that Flock will simply be supplanted by some other License Pate Reader(LPR) system from a major national vendor like Axion or Motorola. Both of whom have long standing and close relationships with law enforcement agencies nationwide. And both of whom are entering the market with products to compete with Flock and try to take a share of their pie of success.
A federal level ban is the only chance of stopping this LPR surveillance state and a federal level ban will never happen. The feds want it just as much as local law enforcement. We are cooked. And the saddest part of the whole thing is that we are funding our own trap.
What's the bill for an agent that exchanges 18,000 messages? The token burn must be pretty damned high. What recourse do I have when their agent goes rogue and runs up my bill?

I'm so excited to read about the latest useless and ineffectual Bernie Sanders' "actions".
He's not necessarily wrong, about this. But he is wasting our time, as usual.
I'll have to see it to believe it. These guys have been over promising an d under delivering for fat too long to be trusted.
I'm sure it will burn tokens like crazy and cost a fortune to do mundane shit that should just be a script in an absurdly verbose and unpredictable manner though.
The KYC verified identities are leaking exactly was expected.
The present age verification laws are creating FAR more problems than they solve.
This will come as a surprise only to the stupidest and most moronic people around. A cohort that vastly outnumbers the rest.
The mentioned troubles with the old app. Abandoning older models, essentially bricking working products.
That's twice that they bit me. I do like the sound of their speakers and I did like the functionality before they restricted it. But twice bitten and I'll never buy their shit again.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek are a fraction of the cost of Claude Fable 5.1 total(actual) price.
Not sure why I even bother any more..
Have you found a better option?
Name a massively overpriced product that is barely fit for purpose. Ding! It's a Dyson.
News flash! You don't need a $500 toothbrush with a camera and AI processing. You only need a 25 cent soft bristle tooth brush and a $4 pack of floss picks.
Wanna spend more for better results? Buy a WaterPik.
