Watching the reaction to the end of GPT-4o, the last thing I’ll say before I shut down this account, is that SV built the most effective and _well-documented_ project to manipulate behavior at scale and when you point that out to ppl in tech, they cry it couldn’t possibly influence *their* behavior.

I would love to have a discussion with Jake Tapper about the history of the term "concentration camp" and its usage. It would do so much good if he would actually address this head on.

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash Flock off

Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.
