https://www.theverge.com/news/878447/ring-flock-partnership-canceledGenuinely, what were they thinking? It's hard to believe a blunder this huge wasn't foreseeable.
It's for the child-wait, it's the dogs this time?It's for the dogs goy, surely you can do without a little bit of privacy to save them puppies.
> we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated. We therefore made the joint decision to cancel the integrationtranslation: you cant just have cameras hand over footage of thieves, it's racist
It probably wasn't the best shot to add to the ad
>>108145388fecking doomers going to ruin all the things again
No flying cars, no cybernetic implants, no robowaifus, at least we get the megacorpo surveillance part.
>>108145343I have a family member who works for law enforcement. Ring cameras are literally one of the top few ways that they catch people - and I'm not talking people who steal packages off of porches or beat people up on their doorways. I'm talking in general. If you knew how many times I've overheard this person on the phone saying, "just grab the ring feed from everybody in that neighborhood", you wouldn't believe me, or you would probably try to convince yourself I was lying. Its literally that easy.
>>108145343>what were they thinking?these people aren't (entirely) stoopid and Superbowl ads aren't cheap - AMZN/Ring was already getting pushback because claims ICE were using them. Thus, this 'fluffy dog' bullshit, see if they could make pushing the envelope on their surveillance STASI state a little more socially acceptable. Which doesn't seem to have worked, but no matter, furthur so with Plan B. And so on.
>>108145395If people self hosted we wouldn't care. It's not the "doomers" it's the brainless non-free software consumers who are the online equivalent of drunk drivers.
>>108145343Another L for the Big Orange Retard and his Gestapo.
>>108145407Honestly the least believable thing about that is believing that cops are only doing this to look for criminals
Since that old lady went missing I've been waiting for Flock to prove their usefulness, but it hasn't happened.
>>108145438Yeah, I didn't say that, so
>>108145407I think most people believe this very easily which is why the ad did poorly
this ad says 10 million pets go missing a year and the return rate with this search party shit is 1 dog a day
>>108145420Paul Graham? I didn't think Amazon was funded by him.
>>108145450either way everyone believes cops are using it for anything they want
>>108145465Great. Not relevant to my point.
>>108145438You know "criminal" just means someone the government wants to use violence against right?
>>108145494Nuanced and original take. Let me guess, its not actually stealing when I take candy from Walmart without paying because its a multi billion dollar company right
>>108145494That is not what criminal means. A criminal is someone who has transgressed the law.You might complain about how just the law is but that doesn't change the definition.
>>108145343To find dogs, yeah, sure
>>108145582What else would they do you schizo?
>>108145582About as much as the federal government getting in bed with Palantir is just to detect illegals.History is no spiral, it's a perfect circle. Every single time it's the same shit. Exhausting.
>>108145343they want to push their surveillance shit and didn't want to pay actors
>>108145615how, exactly, do you think 'Flock Safety' make money and have the spare change for Superbowl ads etcetera? Protip: its not from claiming missing dog rewards.
>>108145343nothing new . thats how air tags work via bluetooth and smartphone cell networks.
>>108145420what's it like being a tranny?>>108145494illegals aren't people
>>108145438>>108145407if this was just going to be used to bag and unperson illegals it would be based. but the potential for a left wing government to use this against humans is too great
>>108145685Ok
>>108145368The real translation is that using AI to process footage from thousands of cameras in real time at all times is ridiculously expensive and makes zero sense financially.
>>108145685>a left wing governmentyeah, Palantir Pete & Co would NEVER
>>108145668its nothing new for us but its new for normies and it scares them
>>108145475His point was that you don't have a point
>>108145722>>108145475
>>108145475>you wouldn't believe me, or you would probably try to convince yourself I was lying.Everyone already knows that and it's laughable you think anyone doesn't
>>108145745More laughable how you quoted the wrong post
>>108145615Find cats and that's NOT ok
>>108145367They really do know how to change with the times, yeah "think of the children" doesn't really work when most don't have, don't want, and will actively abort them if they happen to get.I'm surprised the public cared (or at least appeared to) care about this. There's nothing different about this than the millions of other things that have eroded privacy that normalfags readily embraced for the past, uh 25 years. At least for this one they offer a potential use-case that benefits people as a result of their surveillance activity. I don't see what benefit Facebook tracking me and everyone else across the entire web has given a single member of the public. But they're okay I guess.
>>108145343sounds like a good use of the technologyif you don't like it, then you are an idiot who didn't already know ring is a surveillance company"ring is a surveillance company and can help find your dog">wait what ring is a surveillance company?!sometimes i really do think goyim deserve what we get
>>108145457"very smart" people have been saying this constantly. But these statistics experts somehow forgot (maybe unable) to think a bit further than merely remembering there are 365 days in the year and that 365 < 10 million and realize not everyone everywhere in America owns a Ring, or knows about this thing lol
>>108145780Kill yourself commie.
>>108145783i'm a nazi; surveillance will help us detain and deport pakis
>>108145343I'd guess that they already implemented this. >>108145407 seems to confirm that.funny how amerimutts laugh at the chinese for living under a surveillance state, while they pay for products that literally monitor their owners and everyone/everything else, both directly from their pockets, and once again with their taxes.
>>108145844>funny how amerimutts laugh at the chinese for living under a surveillance state, while they pay for products that literally monitor their owners and everyone/everything else, both directly from their pockets, and once again with their taxes.I mean the general consensus among the American population is that there's a series of checks and balances and this information needs to be requested through a bureaucratic long-winded set of steps, which isn't the case in China.
>>108145407I only buy Reolink cameras because I want to pick and choose what crimes to help the pigs with. Also, they have great local integration with Home Assistant
>>108145908Cool beans
>>108145892There are zero checks and balances for most issues because Democrats and Republicans are more ideologically homogeneous than what their public escapades lead people to believe. The people who have woken up to that fact just drop out of voting altogether
>>108145992I didn't say that the general consensus of the American population was accurate. I simply stated what it was and why they had the worldview that they did in regards to America versus China.
>>108145844damn, you are one angry thirdie
>>108145343>Begging letters on the tvMoving On.
>>108145343Isn't it the whole point of security cams? I don't why people freak out, it's the exact purpose of those cams. This, and insurance.
>>108146340people don't want the government to have access to 24/7 cctv footage of them at all times. Ring is basically trying to build a cctv footage network they can give to the feds so everyone can be tracked 1984 style. it would be fine if it was just lost dogs or tracking illegals but we know the government is going to use it to restrict movement when another fake coof like covid happens
>>108146340herro chang
>>108145697>makes zero sense financially
All of the AI commercials for the Superbowl were awful, it still seems like a solution looking for a problem. The one with Chris Hemsworth and the hide trying to kill him was especially pathetic. God i hope this bubble pops and all these con artists like Scam Altman end up on the street.

>>108146693good morning sarr
>>108146698Enjoy your state mandated She-Hulk episodes, Johnny boy
Burgers and Bongs LOVE surveillance, though.
We need to deploy Ring cameras to the inner city by force. Make every business have them. Full facial recognition. Masks banned in public. Suburbs don’t need this, they’re already safe. The vast majority of people in dangerous areas would benefit from a surveillance state.
>>108145457>Guys, 10 million days to find the dogs>Each year we add 10 more for the new 10 million missing
I see nothing wrong with it. Criminals can stay mad. I'm more than tired of people fucking with my house in one way or another without consequence.
>>108145343>>108145343I'm conflictedon one hand I'm in favor of camera survailance in public spaces with a tight integration with security forceson the other hand the definition of "security" is too fluideither way, it definitely shouldn't be in the hands of a private company

If they can use the cameras to find pets why wouldn't they use it to track person(s) of interest? It only makes sense.
>>108145407>just grab the ring feed from everybody in that neighborhoodTough shit. if I'm not expecting company or a package and there's a knock at the door I aint opening that shit. it's the police? i didn't call and nothing is happening, so fuck off and come back with a warrant.
>>108147263>my dog's life is more valuable than the lives of 10 billion nonAmericansAnd yours.
>>108147377>>108147377nah, my dog values my life. no one values yours, thirdie
>>108147387>my dog values my lifeWrong, if you died he'd eat you.
>>108147394she and no. dogs will starve before they eat their owners. cats eat people
>>108147402>dogs will starve before they eat their ownersProve it, Rajesh.
Why are people upset? I just looked at the Ring Terms of service and it is quite explcit, it says you DIRECT Ring to use AI technologies with your video. So everyone with a Ring already ASKED for this.
>>108147188>Claim to be a libertarian >Invest all your money into military industrial complex and surveillance techMany such cases

>>108145892>I mean the general consensus among the American population is that there's a series of checks and balances and this information needs to be requested through a bureaucratic long-winded set of steps.in theory. in practice, 3 letter agencies bypass all that shit by setting up fake or even real companies, and by extorting people (probably including judges) as well.
>>108145407>Ring makes my neighborhood saferOh heck no!Think about the poor criminals!
>>108147496See >>108146002Read the thread before replying.
>>108145343thats kinda neat. its inevitable that thing kind of thing will be used by the state to brutally crack down on dissent, but its basically not my problem.
basically, i got mine, so all thats left to do is wait to die and watch the magic robot go. it will be misused but its not skin off my nuts. maybe a little kid will find his lost dog, in addition to dogbots gunning retards down in the street.

>>108147722Are you talking about the vaccine? In most of the US, all you had to do was nothing. The people that lost their jobs over it I feel bad for, but in a lot of cases you could just hallucinate some religious reason not to take it and nobody would touch it since it's legally very murky.
>>108147750>internet schizophrenicsobviously it fucking wasn't just the tinfoil hat brigade, otherwise they wouldn't be rapidly rowing back the day after splashing out on a Superbowl ad. They fucked up, and there (happily) still must be way more people who gaf about privacy out there than they had reckoned with.
>>108147777
>>108145697>makes zero sense financiallyBig companies didn't care about that for years. They have enough money to last for centuries. They only make superficial attempts to stem losses to making their balance sheets look better.
