Comment Color me surprised (Score 4, Insightful) 109

Its almost like companies have no incentive to police themselves due to reducing their profit margin. At best, any polluting company may be slapped with a fine but no criminal charges will ever be placed. Just the cost of doing business after congressional lobbying, endless court delays, followed by a settlement that will barely touch the bottom line. Kodak, PG&E, DOW Chemical, Monsanto....and the list goes on

How there are "safeguards", "a few bad apples", and this one instance where an AI/LPR actually came in useful as opposed to the countless times it has been abused, how much info has been collected, and why it is available for bad actors in the first place against the will of city, county, or state officials let alone the funding schemes that permit their installation.

Rockstar makes some decent games but are absolutely useless when it comes to tech support especially after an app upgrade. For all the yahoos with an unlimited tech budget and the patience of a saint to deal with the overtaxed servers who want 1st run, good for them. For us casual gamers itll just fine down the road at 1/3 of the price. By then theyll be on to GTA 7, Red Dead III, whatever else people want invading their living room.

Of course they can call the police but the fact they established any reasonable suspicion to investigate further investigation is the worrisome part. For any non violent offense, it is about impossible to get them to show up in any reasonable amount of time but i guess the flock people are a priority. Good to know.

This would have been great for the guys starting out when Uber and Lyft were dropping their percentages and basically forcing full time drivers to sleep in their cars with little left after taxes, insurance, gas, and maintainence. When these companies got behind automated technology like Waymo, it was just a matter of time.

Bull and shit. These devices are built around the concept of marketing and what better way than to listen, record, and categorize what people are saying about themselves and watching. These devices work in conjuction with every other "smart" device out there managing your life so you dont have to while steering you into a false of security. limiting your choices through the illusion of convenience, and sacrificing privacy. If you look at what your mobile phone does already, this is the next logical step right along with smart fridges, thermostats, vacuum cleaners, and camera systems that cover you from your home to anywhere you might be going.

We're going to make consumers feel "better" by rating their carriers who cannot or will not do anything about this invasion into your lives, syealing billions, and getting away with it. Thanks FCC...no really because crime does pay as long as you dont use a gun.
