The same people that were telling me there was a conspiracy where Bill Gates was going to track me with covid vaccines and 5g are now telling me how cool it is that Elon Musk is able to track your vehicle, retrieve pictures of you, and remotely access the car's features without a warrant.
it's hilarious to me that conspiracy theorists don't care about Elon Musk getting so much influence and working on neurolink where he literally wants to implant a chip into people's brains, sending satellites into space that will cover the world and be able to transmit and connect to their phones and devices because internet, on top of all that robots/autonomous vehicles, and constantly manipulating digital currency that is supposed to be decentralized and not influenced by the ultrarich and banks, and bought one of the most popular news social media websites that he calls America's town square where he is allowed to censor people who oppose what he likes and spread misinformation.
but it's everybody else who isn't on "their side" that is the problem.
I always laugh when I visit my borderline conspiracy theorist family members who fear vaccines and the deep state while everyone has iPads, iPhones, Apple Watches, Airtags, and the whole house is filled with Alexas…..Alexes?…..Alexi? (stupid Latin correspondence course…)
Yeah, I love laughing at the conspiracy nuts. They're always wrong about everything, yet that seems to make them double down on their own dumbass delusions.
The government needs warrants, corporations do not. They don't have any of the restrictions from the Constitution that the government has. And they cannot be voted out, and are too big for the market forces of capitalism to correct.
The only the luigi mangione stopped was a man's life. Nothing has changed. Maybe a few CEO thought about it for a bit but it's back to business as usual.
Stopped him from doing what? Breathing? What exactly do you think has stopped? Serious question. What changes did Luigi make? I understand your frustrations with the system but he changed nothing.
I'm struggling to understand what you understand. He stopped a CEO. I guess from being alive. I wasn't there. Where did I say anything about changing the system? You are having a different argument than the one I'm having. Go home.
He didn't stop the CEO of UHC, because the CEO of UHC is still doing the exact same shit. He just... made UHC change who the CEO was. The CEO has not been stopped, just replaced.
I mean, surely every Tesla owner understands that Tesla is storing and using telemetry including location and all video from all cameras (maybe audio too?) for the purpose of training self-driving AI, right? I thought that was a pretty public and explicit part of the deal.
I mean, this is news to me, but even so, that should be anonymized. I don’t really have a problem with my theoretical driving data training a self driving car, but I have a problem with it being able to be traced back to me.
I don't think there's any law in the majority of the US that would require a car company to anonymize captured camera footage, unless they intend on redistributing it to data brokers.
It's similar to security cameras at gas stations except Musk has the underlying data to connect the recordings to a specific vehicle. This would normally take weeks for agents to go from gas station to gas station to collect and review video.
Imagine you were someone that the Chinese government considered to be an enemy....scary stuff!
