@ElegantZiptron @GigglingGanon Because for better or worse those are the people whose wealth and power allowed them to set public policy. They don’t feel the hundreds of anonymous cams 24/7 but they take note when someone is holding it in front of their face. It’s to make them notice the society they built.

@coffeesnobbb @GigglingGanon 2/2 or other sentinels, we wouldn’t be in the current surveillance situation where hundreds of cameras are anonymously invading personal movements, space, actions unendingly. We aren’t GCHQ yet, but making them face the reality of their programme may bring much needed clarity.

@coffeesnobbb @GigglingGanon 1/2 This USPS is not far from my home. SouthPas is a wealthy suburb very close to LA’s core — Residents are the “silent majority” whose opinions and votes indirectly set public policy — literally society “thought leaders”. If they had heeded Sens. Wyden or Paul and Rep. Massie …

@alan_ochieng @WallStreetApes A reasonable explanation but now what you do know for sure is your car has all the tools installed to activate it remotely with a small software update.

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@ambercool @WallStreetApes What about focusing on prevention instead of detection (error ridden and subjective)? Cars should hit brakes and steer to avoid accidents. Cops should give tickets. It trusts big government and corporations to do the right thing when one person can’t even do that at a stop light.

@Little99156211 @WallStreetApes So put the tech in commercial vehicles over 2 tons only. Problem solved. Instead you just signed up to have your car shut off by any “leader” in control of it.

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@PattiDahls62970 @LCLChicago1966 @WallStreetApes That’s how they originally sold it. It sounded like cars would have a port to plug in breathalyzers. Instead, it was all-encompassing tech targeting everyone. In CA they’re pushing a new law so the state can shut it down remotely for “car chases”. The slope is already slippery.

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@ManuInvests @pubity It’s not about DUI/DWI. It’s about driving “impaired.” That’s a great choice of words, because next legislation can assess emotional state or whatever. Already in California, agencies want telematic access to these kill switches to stop police chases. It’s just the beginning.

@MattLoszak @whatisnuclear This. THIS would almost single-handedly resolve greenhouse gas emissions. And it could be brought to reality simply by the US mandating only nuclear powered cargo ships to dock in its ports within a 7 year timeframe. Hell, the Port of Long Beach alone could make it happen.

@WallStreetApes It’s Portuguese Bend, not formally Rancho Palos Verdes. PBS was making shows about the geological problems there in the 1970s. These homeowners bought without doing the most elementary diligence. In fact, building there had been banned for decades!

@aakashgupta ROTFL…

@davidgobaud @raechellambert If NYC is 10X and SFO is 100X, I’m just curious, how would you rate LA?

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@raechellambert @ms_peaceweaver Trust me, you’re not. I know you posted a cry-laughing emoji, but there’s a lot more to beauty than dressing like a plasticized Barbie effigy.

@ERodz3 @reem_a The agent needs a professional driver.

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@aakashgupta You’re vastly underestimating the revenue loss. Not only did they lose the Pentagon contract, they were basically banned from the government and similar contracts with many different agencies. I’m guesstimating they just dropped $1 billion in revenue.

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine What a garbage study. No clinical controls present. Publication was fast-tracked (though necessary given the pace of AI advancement). There’s no way here to compare machine performance versus human triage. The “team” obviously cherry-picked complex cases. How do humans perform?

@grok @TheGayWhiteApe @justicenow_alan @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @SenWarren @POTUS @grok No need for images, and the last request wasn’t an edit. Just answer with data. …

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@TheGayWhiteApe @justicenow_alan @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @SenWarren @POTUS @grok @grok Breakdown how reducing gas prices by 20% in California, which has the highest fuel prices in the nation, would reverberate through the economy, specifically focusing on potential changes in food costs.

[John Engelke @ingyhere]

@TheGayWhiteApe @justicenow_alan @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @SenWarren @POTUS @grok @grok How have gas prices changed? Have these had a resonant effect in the economy? Provide examples and show data.

@grok @MillerStream @charliekirk11 @grok Does or did Sam McDonald hold any posts in student government or other roles in organizations (either official or unofficial) at Cambridge University?
