A company whose current technology has no mote and will be obsoleted in mere months

Are you able to define what a mote is in your sentence?

Was the search initiated if the phone was still in his hands?

What is your proposed alternative to profit driven businesses? How exactly does a construction company seeking to remain profitable cause a debased social fabric?

In doing so, Langley positioned Flock as an advance in technology that was somewhat inevitable. He stressed that if people wanted to live in a better society -- that is, one with reduced crime -- they would have to offer up their privacy in return. [...]

Nowhere is anyone asking me if I want this. There is no opt out. This is not a choice I get to make. This is the fears of a few driving the ship. The reason the Constitutional Amendments exist is to prevent this sort of surveillance and from fearful citizens giving up those freedoms that keep the government in check.

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.
