All this actually does is push people to porn sites outside of Missouri's jurisdiction and/or sites that don't give a fuck about being "legitimate businesses" or whatever. It's effectively prohibition and the outcome will be the same.

This shit never actually makes anyone safer, it just draws more normal users to seedier parts of the internet.

I'm gonna go to businesses I don't like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.

as ubiquitous and useful as Microsoft 365

What a line! Directly referenced a hated service that butchers a whole suite of actually ubiquitous products.

I don't know a single person who pays for M365. Companies pay for it because they've been locked in and/or are forced to for government compliance reasons, but no one actually wants that. Fucking ace thing to compare your AI service to, dipshit.

Being a good CEO is 95% about social networking; creating and maintaining trustworthy relationships with others who will provide you with good support. AI can't do this, as it's a truly human thing.

Here's the track for the curious.

It's pretty basic with lyrics that are pretty pandering. Not exactly a good song, but here we are.

So look, this is just gonna happen. It's legal to film people in public (in the US) and we all know stores, etc. are already using facial recognition.

The real problem here is the (apparent, though almost certainly assured) lack of responsible use of the data. Scanning faces means you also get time, place, and event/activity, and the citizens then have zero control of what the govt does with this, who they share it with (e.g. Palantir), etc. All prior collection of US person data required appropriate approval, limited scope of access, and timely adjudication/disposal. But ICE is (again, apparently) operating outside the law.

Sorting your trash is the human equivalent of planting a tree, and it's especially valuable if you have/teach children. It's a small activity that helps to build better habits and mindsets.

It won't change the world today, but it will build a foundation for changing the world tomorrow.

I wish we were when halfway smart enough for ranked choice voting. Unfortunately, not only are most voters too dumb to get it, but many jurisdictions are actually banning in right now.
