It's not just that flock should get sued, we need to revisit concepts of prosecutorial and police immunity so that some human can be held accountable for problems like this
Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash. Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours. She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused. At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges. Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

AI slop. The tax cuts that Republicans passed last year and cut spending on Medicaid/ACA are going to fund AI slop factories. Instead of healthcare we got slop. I fucking hate it here.
This administration slashed more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA. According to the Congressional Budget Office, those cuts will terminate health insurance for roughly 15 million Americans. This is what we’re getting in return.

As the OG Astra I want to say: OpenAI sucks, Sam Altman is a fascist and my name deserves better. The meaning of astra is stars. It should connote wonder at the beauty of the cosmos not a blinkered obsession with profit and willingness to burn this world for a vampiric facsimile.

🛑 Do not add the ChatGPT Messages “plugin” to Apple Messages. And never use iMessage, SMS or RCS again. You’ll never know if the person you’re texting has been stupid and irresponsible enough to add this silent monitoring bot to your conversation. Governments no longer need to pressure Apple for a backdoor. OpenAI just built one for them. Every text you send them can end up on OpenAI’s servers, available to intelligence agencies and law enforcement through US legal process, and to other governments who can demand access through treaties and cross border agreements. Facebook Messenger is now safer than iMessage. @OpenAI just killed end to end encryption for Apple. Article in my drafts folder.
Everyday conversations just got easier with the new Apple Messages plugin. Search messages, catch up on conversations, draft and send replies—all with ChatGPT on your Mac. Now available in ChatGPT Work and Codex on desktop.

I consider doing just that on a regular basis.
