Just be careful; a few old IBM sites had toxic waste problems. It sounds like they were just turning off the lights and water and walking away from these.
One woild hope everything was remediated but I wouldn't bet my own safety on it.
Yeah, that's why they mentioned the ancient Sony camera he lifted.
"Crime with a gun" is a separate crime according to NY.
SCOTUS will strike those down eventually. It's like saying "crime while praying" if it's a right.
Obviously he wasn't using the gun to jack a Betacam. He was probably worried about crackheads in there for the copper.
LAPD ending deal with company operating license plate-reading cameras (July 11,2026).
The Los Angeles Police Department is ending its agreement with Flock Safety, a company that operates surveillance cameras throughout the city.
LAPD announced that it will allow its agreement with the company to expire Saturday, ending the department's three-year relationship with the security firm - at least for now.
"This contract is not being renewed because of serious concerns around civil liberties and civil rights issues, particularly around privacy and the data that is being collected from these cameras," said Dean Gialamas, LAPD's chief information officer. "The LAPD had to make a difficult decision, in this case discontinuing using Flock services until we can get those data, privacy, security and sharing concerns ironed out through a contractual relationship."
LAPD says the department does not use Flock's cameras to help U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
And in Michigan, Flock cameras coming down in Westland; councilmember says contract not renewed
"We have received confirmation from the Westland Police Chief that he has decided not to bring the Flock camera contract before City Council for a vote," she said in her post. "It was clear Council was deeply divided on the issue."
She added that the current Flock cameras placed around the city will remain so, until the contract expires within the next month, before coming down afterward.
Sampey said that it is an example of city officials listening to residents, many of whom voiced concern about the cameras.
Do they retain all their training data? can they store all that? - i thought they were using all the internet and massive piracy?
The web is being polluted with slop so.... I would think China could get around all copy-protection and have an advantage in data collection outside of the slop invested parts of the web. If the USA AI corps were not violating the law, they'd be trying to scrape from China's bots who don't have their legal limitations... Is the old web even that valuable to mine in the 1st place? From what I've read these AI are pretty amazing when reduced to a relatively small domain data set; like all journals and books on 1 topic. Have you not tried to research something in depth on the web and found it to be severely lacking compared to books and journals?? Even online lectures are just highlights from textbooks... Well, when you look to the book... I've spent years reading on the web on a topic for entertainment then tried a book only to find it had everything I learned all in 1 concise place that would have taken a fraction of the time and effort... and without all the filtering and correcting of know-it-all blowhard slop and that was before we automated windbags with AI.
Tech makes things worse. It's like a drug. Opioid... It has targeted controlled good use cases but outside of that it's bad stuff. Everybody's answer to the problems it creates is to get more tech...at at least suffer until the next update/version... People were already getting more stupid, especially in the USA now we have AI and already we have studies showing it does just that... If you think things are stupid now...
With a 15% drop in PhDs
The military implications are obvious. Think Ukraine. If you suspect the enemy is trying to infiltrate on a dark night along several kilometers of frontline, you light up the scene while launching a bunch of low-cost FPV drones, and those infiltrators are about to have a bad day.
You *can* spot infiltrators in the dark with IR cameras, but it requires much more expensive drones and isn't usually as effective, hence the preference for night operations. Plus, there's IR camouflage, with varying degrees of success. But it usually makes you stand out like a sore thumb under illumination (you're basically wearing a tent).
I never understood why they would start you scrolling a whole new feed just because you left the app for a while. In fact, I find it extremely annoying that you can't go back to the top and find that item you skipped over, but wanted to come back to.
Making a product you hooked people on based on keeping in touch with their friends, turning it into an infinite feed of mostly ads and 'news items' that you claimed would be fact-checked, only to have it morph into a constant stream of fraudulent 'news' items and deep fake visual content, and only getting away with it because you got them addicted based on the original, good product isn't exactly making a product so good that people find themselves addicted to it...
More like getting someone addicted to cigarettes and then, in stages, swapping in coke, meth and fentanyl while blaming the downside on the users.
The FCC approved the satellite,
I hate how this Administration always frames things like this. At least they didn't throw in "freedom" or "patriot".
Why on earth would you need to shoot someone for... driving away???
Are you a psychopath. Evading arrest doesn't carry the death penalty in law.
Well... If you're an ICE agent it's because the driver, "weaponized his vehicle" (said w/o any body cam footage) -- or, as Uncle Jimbo on South Park would say, "My God! It's coming right for us!"
If the argument can be proved that they ruined the minds of an entire generation using a massive AI/Big Data model running at n terraflops by deliberately addicting children during the crucial neuronal pruning period of their lives, that is at a minimum going to cost the society tens of trillions of dollars and restitution would be far more than the proposed fines.
Nobody gets a second chance at that pruning stage, at least in this lifetime.
Their profits may be far lower than the damage they caused, but that characteristic is always true of parasitic entities.
This is basically the whole point of the Island of Pleasure warning in Pinocchio.
It remains to be seen what can be proved in Courts but the DSM-6 won't be kind to their arguments as outlined in TFS.
The idea is probably from 1950's comic books but the tech seems brand new since they don't need any landing legs and use a net-on-frame architecture.
People should pay attention because they didn't have orbital technology thirty years ago and now they have a space station, reusable rockets, and are about to have a Moon base.
And possibly ultra-long flighttime 'drones' that can fly over Picatinny Arsenal unimpeded; that much is uncertain. We have no explanation for their energy budget (at least white-world).
Having a country run by engineers rather than professional thieves who hire engineers to justify pillage has certain advantages (and disadvantages).
Let's not get too overconfident.
This is a small prototype, not a full-scale mirror.
Also, ignoring that, pretending light brighter than the full moon is useless is... silly? For generating power, sure, but for illumination, it absolutely is not.
Also, this is not about a Brown professor, it's about Brown students.
This can only get unintentionally funnier.
Someone will report this story to Stephen Miller and the Trump administration, but spell it "brown" and the whole school gets deported.
You're such a sad little man
The company is the operator.
We can hold corporations responsible, we just usually don't
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. -- Winston Churchill
