The very essence of journalism in a Western world is to expose wrong doing and nobody being exposed likes. Journalism isn't meant to be rage-bait or hallmark moments for clicks that it degenerated into. It meant to cover and expose uncomfortable realities so individuals can be informed.

Our society requires privacy to function. This is because government (and that includes individuals with personal motivations within government structures) at all levels have power to selectively prosecute anyone they don't like. Our legal system is set up in a way that every law abiding citizen can be investigated (where investigation is the punishment) and their life ruined if there is a pretext (probable cause). Flock is an easy way to manufacture such pretext.

You can't have qualified immunity and Flock. Pick one. If you pick two, you end up living in a 40K style dystopia where "Innocence proves nothing".

You don't want to kill ants, but if they get in the way you do. Because they get in the way of your goals.

My thoughts exactly. While I am not THAT old, due to spending my younger years staring at CRT monitors, my vision isn't that great. Being able to easily read things on a phone is a huge bonus of this design.

Thing is, even 51% accurate guess still can be useful.

As you pointed out, I think a better question is how good is that DeepMind guess. If it moderately to high accurate, then it will greatly speed up planning of genetic research.

Individuals can be charged for voyeurism. Why not corporations?

Only if it is unethical and indifferent to our suffering as it begins to exterminate us.

LLMs progressing rapidly while your views are lagging by years. Current models can present coherent pro and con arguments on most topics and then can evaluate these to provide a reasoned conclusion. They don't do this by default, at least not on free models, but you can and should ask that when you prompting.

Absolutely, but GPT 5.6 was damn close to "make it". If they improved on that, they might have arrived to what they were promising only 2 years ago.

As others already mentioned, your vision doesn't work the way you think it works. You have a very narrow central field of vision where you have enough vision acuity to read any kind of text. The rest of it is just colors and blurred shapes. It gets worse/narrower at night.

Auto industry going crazy for it because they want to harvest your data and show you ads. They also learned from smartphone manufacturers and locked down ecosystem so there is no possibility of you flashing custom ROM or IP blocking ad servers, because "safety". About the only move you still have is to rip out cell modem hardware to air gap the car.

It is a huge hassle for me and the key reason I am not a Tesla owner. So there is at least -1 sale as a consequence of that design choice.
