I expect a lot of these game companies to change to a system where:

1) You pay for a yearly contract to play ANY of their games.

2) Despite them having only one or two games that people want to play, in addition to 8+ crappy games that no reasonable person would pay to play.

This allows them to screw over people in a manner similar to what they do now.

Linked in was an attempt to redo the hiring process.

The problem is doing it online is not an advantage. If they had come up with any real advantage, they would have become important.

One of the major reasons people get into the various forms of poor trap is that they have a network of people they love and help but are worse off than them.

The single parent keeping their teen age kid alive.
Who also makes sure her mother gets her medication
Who also has a brother/sister in rehab.

The people that have a good support network (middle class parents that occasionally buy them diapers) are the ones that have the time and energy to get a good job.

Note taking is not illegal. But if your notes involve the exact frequencies used so that it is POSSIBLE to create an audio duplicate than it counts as recording.

I.E. If you make a digital recording it is the same as an analog recording.

But you did raise some very good points.

I think you are right about the technology. It should ALREADY be good enough to detect that there are multiple human voices being detected and should therefore know that it is illegal to listen. It would be child's play to have the devices automatically say "You are being recorded" every time it hears a new voice for the first time.

Not sure about the owner being responsible, I bet most people do not know they are always recording. That would be a viable defense.

In America, there are two general types of states. One party states that require permission from one person to record a conversation and All party states (sometimes called two party states) that require permission from everyone being recorded. Note, implied consent is legal where people are informed they are being recorded must object / hang up.

Six of the All party states require permission even in person:
California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Montana.

Does this not mean that every single one of the Devices that listen to a conversation violate the laws of these six states? are they illegal to buy in those six states?

Do people that own these have to put a sign up warning that visitors are being recorded?

Claude agents, like human people, are much better at finding problems than they are at patching them without causing more problems.

As someone that posts on slashdot you should know it is a lot easier to complain about something than to fix it.

The people object to us giving them random drugs and then dissecting their full sized organs.

You gave a true but irrelevant answer.

When someone says they are not making contracts with Flock that is ALWAYS bullshit. It is an executive telling you what they did yesterday, not what they are doing tomorrow. You are looking at the middlemen who always lie, not the top dog.

Getting them to say things is worthless, not matter what they say.

The top dog are judges and legislatures that interpret makes laws not local councils talking about their current contracts.

When they speak, they talk about what is legal and illegal, not specific businesses. When they outlaw Flock, they outlaw all of their competitors.

As for RING, that is an entirely different business than Flock. The far majority of people that object to "FLOCK" will not put in RING cameras.

When we complain about Flock we are really complaining about all of the surveillance business, not just Flock.

It's like saying I ran out of Kleenex instead of tissues. Kleenex has come to mean any tissue product designed for the nose and it is easier to say kleenex rather tissue for the nose.

Try telling someone how they are wrong rather than simply stating it is wrong.

Currently I know that a single person out of 8 billion disagrees withme.

That happens if I just say the Earth is a sphere, not flat.

Humans use multiple methods of thought.
Faith: (Appeal to Authority)
Science: (Scientific Method)
Formal Logic (If x then y)
Bias: (Appeal to previous examples)

While AI is built on Formal Logic, it does not use it. Instead it uses Bias entirely. It has no faith and does not understand or use the scientific method.

One city found that Flock was incorrect 71% of the times it identified felonies. But they did claim they installed the flock cameras using non-standard methods to avoid certain privacy concerns.

Flock likes to claim a 99+% accuracy under 'ideal' concerns.

1) I have no children.
2) I was very specific about Asia being a very different culture.
3) I have seen several studies that indicate most abusers come from entitled families and were not themselves abused as a child.
4) You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are NOT entitled to call other's opinion's "nonsense"
