I hope sarcasm is working well for you. To clarify: it would be abused without systems, therefore add court warrants to access any personal information. Criminals are already abusing society by knowing that most of their crime will never be

Yes that should all require a court warrant based on probable cause.

If abuse can’t be eliminated then it’s about what ratio of abuse to crime reduction is tolerable I guess. If we find 100 taken children while a dirty cop stalks his ex - is that tolerable? I’d say yes. If it became more abused I guess that’

Video is useful in keeping people safe. Including from the cops. It’s about remaking the system to require court permission every time they access it, process and transparency.

Surely access to footage can be gated behind some sort of expedited digital court warrant? I always think of that scene in Minority Report where 3 judges are conferenced in live when a “vision” arrived. Because if used properly and lawfully

This is mostly the UN’s own fault. Nation governments refrain from getting “hardcore” on this because the better options are expensive and they don’t want to be undercut by another country. The UN is supposed to somehow use its deep dipl

Our environment will collapse and the fat cats will still deny it and convince most of us that it was our fault and that nothing could be done and that we should just buy their anti-environment-collapse products to protect ourselves.

I had a ZX Spectrum and learned Basic and played a ton of pirated games on that. My school had Commodore 64s - but I didn't use them much. They didn't really know how to teach for them and there was no hacking around allowed.

Before AI you'd be saying it's a great website for a free and open source app.

The main thing that makes GitHub the default is that almost every other service considers it the default. Launching a better product won't change that.

Each row is a resource (cage?), start peg = check-in, end peg = check-out. Peg color = month change. String (elastic band?) booking entry. String color combo maybe indicates booking status. Overlaps are immediately obvious. Hyper-centralise

I agree. The human experience is the only thing that matters. If AI tries to replace or supersede that, then it's bad AI.

Human slop is a much better kind. There were still humans involved.

AI-generated images discourage me from interacting with any entity AT ALL. Bar / restaurant posters, events, shops, anything. Because it makes the brand appear lazy. And in a weird way "anti-human". I don't have a better

Very nice. Tips: You don't need the different design states (select, wire, delete) just have one and make it work contextually. Also remove the play button. Just have it always playing.
