That's going to be so weird for Iranians who are used to WAY better produce than the US has to offer.

Mom's spaghetti

The public should not have to foot the bill for any of this.

Just let China have this "race". I'm not afraid of being 2nd place. Who really cares about AI when it's effect on the concrete world is so minimal and non-deterministic?

Wake me up when we can actually count on a robot making a delivery or stopping a criminal. Generating tokens isn't doing shit in the real world.

When that is regularly happening without failure, we can just regulate the robots themselves.

100% destroy that potato. It's survived 7 years because that is absolutely a horcrux.

Yep, this is exactly the controversy I was referring to from two years ago. It only applies if you choose to upload video to their cloud, not your local storage hub.

If you read more about this, you'll find that the vulnerability has been sensationalized by Gizmodo. A malicious actor would have to go to great lengths to obtain a very long hash string and then append that to a URL to get access to the unencrypted content. That hash string itself is not accessible, so it is highly unlikely.

With that being said, I wouldn't recommend putting a security camera of any brand inside your home and pointing it somewhere you can't risk being seen on the off chance of a breach, but how many people are really looking to do that anyway?

I agree that this is a meme. It's not a meme with widespread meaning yet, but I think a chip on the forehead, the obvious young age of the boy, and his expression of mixed happiness/fear is enough to convey something about the state of society that calls for nervous laughter.

Eufy, by Anker, is a great choice imo. They keep data local by default, no subscription required. Very minor record of controversies.

I 100% agree with you.

I do, of course. I even do my hair. I didn't mean to imply that one should not care about it hygienically, just for your own health and personal self image.

I just don't understand the urge to thrust gender identity onto hair style and then argue about what that means to the polity online.

Why do people put so much energy into projecting identity politics on a superfluous detail like hair? Who cares? It's all just a vanity concern, selfishly obsessed with what others think about how you look.

Does your hair make you have some intrinsic identity to others that you are or are not going for? Fuck you, I don't care.

Do you authentically care, yourself?

Maybe you care about the politics - I can understand that. There is legitimate fear around legislating serious, dangerous things to your identity (not hair). Why the fuck are you spending your time and energy on hair???

Two party consent laws in California come down to a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and that has been worked out in the legal system over time to be pretty much any place with an open door or window, even a conference room inside a private business is fair game if the door is open to the hallway.

I'd recommend trying Ollama+OpenCode to DIY removals. It can at least help find the sites and their removal request pages, but then you'd need to solve captchas and do the requests.

Some of these PII removal companies go to great lengths to request removals on your behalf without providing ANY additional information that the data broker does not already have.

The problem is that nobody can tell which PII removal companies act responsibly and which ones are merely data brokers themselves.

Even the ones trying their best to not distribute more information about you need only to screw that up once, and that single incident of human error leads to a neverending cycle of leaks between downstream data brokers.

It's the perfect industry for local AI agents to replace, but the only way to know you're properly requesting removals without making matters worse is to do it yourself.
