I thought AI was only for entertainment?!

Windidn’t

Same goes for the idiots driving them here.

That’s the point, who needs a truck the size of a whole house.

Japanese pickup trucks have the same bed length as current American pickup trucks at a fraction of the size.

Hell even trucks from the 1980s - 1990s are a fraction of the size.

Flock cameras can also pickup conversations of people passing by, let alone the massive amount of other privacy concerns with these being owned by third party companies and how extremely easily hackable these cameras are.

IMO, I don’t see how people in Toronto can support these cameras, especially since Ontario in general had speed cameras removed, and those as far as I know were police operated.

TBH it would probably make more sense to install the speed cameras back, those only captured photos as opposed to 24/7 recordings.

Edit: Went down a rabbit hole.

Toronto’s speed cameras were owned, operated, and maintained by Verra Mobility (specifically through their subsidiary, Redflex Traffic Systems (Canada) Limited). This is a Arizona-based company. While the City of Toronto selected the locations and processed the tickets. I can’t seem to find any clear info on how the data was processed or how the system was secured.

And simultaneously they’re lazy and don’t work, and have also taken all the jobs.

On top of all the other problems data centers bring to communities, one should be aware that datacenters also can behave like ike acoustic weapons.

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

The question is do they have a Copilot?

Windows 11 is a hot pile of garbage. Windows 10 was a “better” choice TBH

Its got what humans crave?!

TickTock is fine though right?

Who goes to prison now when a kid is found to be using social media?

And now what counts as social media? Is it only Facebook, or does it include things like WhatsApp, Mastodon, Instagram, Bluesky, Lemmy, a blog or chatroom?

Simple home router Whitelist enacted through a parental control setting.

Completely “local” and no personal information is given to a third party website.

Now the question is could we create a job/field were the persons responsible would curates and classifies each website? They could classify based on ages, genres and other useful tags.

What could we call these creators of information?

Or you know, you can let parents take care of their own kids. Stop telling me how to parent my own kids in my own house!

Also obligatory reminder, consumer home routers have had parental controls for years. You can use these functions to whitelist specific websites for your children, while simultaneously block everything not on said whitelist.

On top of this, this is the most privacy respectful option as it means no third party is snooping on what sites your visiting, no one is collecting analytics, and no personal information is made available to said third parties to be hacked and compromised, ultimately protecting you from any identity theft.

On top of this this “same issue” was why TVs have had parental controls for ages. All a parent would need to do is choose to enable and block certain channels behind a passcode/pin for their children. And somehow this solution has worked without being privacy intrusive.

I love how these data breach articles never go into what the next step are that someone should/could do to protect themselves, or what the company is doing now to make sure customers are protected, and possibly compensated for any potentially repercussions of said breach.

Also who is ultimately liable for the exposure of said information, and as a customer could I ask a company to delete all identifiable information on me while still maintaining an account?
