Just to add onto this, even if they had gone this route, it still wouldn't be ethical. Think about who is doing all that data training - for basically no money. Think about the data centers that are processing all that data - and dumping pollution into local communities.

Good to see reporters calling what's happening in San Francisco what it really is: Surveillance maximalism. The leadership of the city sees no problem they can't solve by defunding resources that prevent crime and pouring all their money, plus all the money offered by billionaires, into policing.

BriefCam uses AI to analyzes hours of video inside the Real Time Investigative Center. Critics say the technology is just as invasive as facial recognition.

I decided this year to spend no more than my monthly column budget on games I’ll be covering in that column meaning I make $0 from my roundup columns twice a year. I do it to broaden coverage + I like writing reviews. But if there’s no way for me to request a key I often can’t cover your thing.

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.
