AI bros who don't take "no" for an answer are the same people as cops are the same people as rapists are the same people as republicans are the same people as pedophiles are the same people as bots pushers are the same people who fucking ruin everything
It's the "I know better than you" people
Yup. They're all over the perv-glasses threads telling people they have no right to privacy and it's no different that a cell phone camera. meanwhile, they're posting upskirts and downshirts, stalking videos, harassment, outright racist hate shit, all recorded with their cute lil fuckin perv-glasses.
And meta keeps putting facial recognition shit in the APIs but denying it.
the sad part is, they could be great tools for the disabled, but a bunch of shitkids have already ruined that use because meta wants profits more than helping people or -haha- letting people have privacy.
You know, people that don't believe in the agency of others
there are many ways to counter these

Awesome gif, what show is this from?
A machine is being built, designed to stamp on a human face forever. We have to strangle it while it's still in the cradle.

If they only go 60 they ain't catching up to me 🤷♂️
60 as the crow flies is faster than a faster car on a road
Actually, it's slower. The world is round, so the further you get from the ground, the more distance you have to cover to reach the same spot.
Who said I was on the road?

Lol fair enough
It's hilarious how toxic the replies are, Lemmy users are out here trying to fight
That gonna cost so much money to replace
Much harder and much more illegal to interfere with a drone; I'd be shocked if these needed replacing due to vandalism at all, let alone as frequently as people take out terrestrial Flock cameras.
IDK I got plenty of 338 ready to go 🤷
Ahhhh, there's ways to take out drones without anyone noticing. My favorite is a microwave Canon and the drone will fall out of the sky onto hard ground.
2A TIMEA
You can build a net gun to disable these without any of the 2A paperwork. All you need is PVC, net, a sprinkler valve, and a blow gun (the kind you use to release compressed air). If you can build a potato cannon you can build a net gun.
It feels like death will soon be better than existence.
And thats when we have nothing to lose. We free ourselves or die trying.
