Oh, that?! That's just the gaslighting, lol. Hey look over here, a shiny penny!!

Omg but think about how much that box is gonna tie my massive box collection together! I have so many boxes, but this one--this one is the one that will make my box collection complete. They're charging that extra premium because they know I'm right on the verge of completing my collection and this is their last chance to bilk me out of even more money before i retire to the bahamas with my collection

I'd be too, if physical copy meant a box with a code on a slip of paper inside

They seem to view people as "human capital" to be expended with minimal waste, then let go for efficiency when their usefulness has been outlived (or sufficiently replicated by AI)

🌞 Hot flu summer ⛱️

Good on ya, mate

Allow me to Bing that for you

So a teacher got 27 years, what about the people who owned and operated this disgusting enterprise?

Because fuck GrapheneOS users, apparently 🤷‍♂️

Nobody's asking for AI, it's being forced upon us. It's only going to get less accurate and helpful as time goes on and all the wasted money and resources to make it run will not be recovered. But it will not go away, people will just deal with it or stop using it.

Don't worry!! They said it again in the article OP posted, so we know we have nothing to worry about:

The videos are never associated with a user's identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.

I strongly encourage everyone interested in this topic (and you should be!) to read the article because this shit runs deep and they see absolutely no problem approaching the law in this fashion. Absolutely disgusting erosion of liberty and privacy, though it's not the least bit surprising. Here's an excerpt i found particularly chilling--this cop is fully convinced (or acting as if he were) about the validity of this minimal-effort investigation they apparently were ready to arrest someone over. Note that weeks later it was fully disproven and ended with a terse email acknowledging that she provided enough proof to absolve herself as the suspect. No accountability for their mistake, just: "you can go now"

“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.

“Just as an example, you’ve driven there about 20 times in the last month,” he added. 

Along with the Flock footage, the sergeant told Elser he also had a video from the theft victim that allegedly showed Elser ringing the doorbell before grabbing a package and running away. 

My favorite part

“I guess this is a shock to you, but I am telling you, this is a lock. One hundred percent. No doubt,” Milliman said.

😳

But Elser, a financial advisor, told the sergeant she had no idea what he was talking about. She asked several times to watch the video that Milliman insisted proved her guilt, but he refused to show her. And when Elser offered up footage from her Rivian’s onboard cameras to prove her innocence, Milliman said she could bring it to court.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be giving this all to you. If you are going to deny it to me, I am not going to help you with any courtesy,” Milliman said.

“It’s kind of funny because we have cameras on our truck, so we could show you exactly where we were,” Elser said. 

We are really fucked here. No accountability on their end, while foisting 200% accountability on ours.

I found this morsel particularly poignant:

"Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

I can't believe all those stupid anti-biden truck decals etc will be rendered pointless in a matter of months. I better start making anti-Kamala decals if i want to properly capitalize on these next 4 years 🤑

Edit: cry into your fuckin ear-squares ya bunch of sad sacks

The Trump administration has set strict quotas for arresting anyone even suspected of being in the country illegally, with Stephen Miller ordering that 3,000 people be arrested every single day, or ICE officers will face consequences

What the fuck

He's king of the incels

“He’s a lot of fun to be with,” Trump said of Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine interview.

“It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

🤢

Why would they? Good on em for standing their ground. This is all so stupid

This is sooooooo fucked up

Also a sobering reminder that this society may not be the best place to bring new children into. I would be beyond irate if that had been my child.

ಠ_ಠ

Prediction: he doesn't show up and nothing happens in response.

I'll gladly be proven wrong though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
