Where was the detective in this scenario? They lied about damages to her vehicle to get an arrest warrant because they had no proof. They also refused to care that the license plate and color of the vehicle did not match. A nine year could have realized this didn't make sense. If a detective was paid to think here, he should be fired.

No she got a mistrial you dumb jag. Her three children are dead. Who wins here in your petty little party pandering?

Should this also work for when they request a warrant from a judge?

Judge 'Why do you need this warrant'

Officer 'LMAO'

Citizens rights should not be tossed aside because they don't audit a lot or because they didn't want to type the real reason in correctly.

Those in charge who let this get deployed with the reason for the search being optional are the most egregious offenders. If that is a design choice by the manufacturers or the police is irrelevant. The statement is loudly displayed that they don't even need a reason to search much less a warrant. Bad faith from the start if you ask me about the constitutionality.

All the people who work with Matt Mullenweg don't like him? Let's look at this with a little bit of thought. When the tensions escalated around his standoff with WP Engine, he offered a special buyout package to any employee that wanted to leave. 159 employees accepted the buyout offer amounting to 8.9 percent of the staff. What you're suggesting is that 91.1 percent of the staff stayed to work there despite not liking him or his practices. The number is much more nuanced than your simplistic representation. Even in jest your comment is egregious.

every galaxy has a black hole. This is incorrect. Who says this?

C-O-U-R-A-G-E.

This seems to still require a Perplexity Pro, Max, Enterprise Pro, and Enterprise Max subscription for it to work.

Now I agree "mass surveillance" is creepy, but we can have Flock without mass surveillance.

Mass surveillance is the widespread collection and monitoring of data on large groups of people, usually without specific proof of wrongdoing. This is exactly mass surveillance.

You are arguing that there a benefits to mass surveillance and we should accept them to feel secure in our lives. I disagree with your opinion and think you are naive for thinking mass surveillance won't ever be abused.

No.

AI is a tool but it is sold as intelligence. It is a tool but it is not intelligence.

To be fair. this is a University with a 90% acceptance rate. It makes Greendale Community college look respectable. No offence Todd.

What voice assistants rely on is enunciation. You making an announcement doesn't help Siri.

Besides the abuse of power, and the Constitutional violations via unreasonable search and seizure, this monitoring causes a chilling effect amongst those with dissenting opinions. The protest may go unimpeded but your opinion has you targeted and monitored by the government for not agreeing.

Which part of this is lost on you?

The majority of media companies are seeking profit. Profit for media companies has been driven by algorithms that promote outrage via clickbait vs substance. What you are suggesting is that the media companies are owned by politicians who control the message and how it is presented. I do not believe that is how it works. Sure a politician will gladly accept the distraction and may provide some misinformation (the CIA has done this for decades) but they aren't the media. Media companies decide what to publish and how they monetize, not the politicians. This is the same for all parties.
