The people leading the push for his prosecution are very much out of touch with that reality though. Cops and prosecutors have some of the best healthcare in the country.

To convince the public he's guilty. It's one of the ways they skew the narrative.

Remember in the movie "SWAT" where that monster guy who entered the country illegal to kill the one guy and then offered money to get him out? That's Hollywood doing their part to put the idea in our minds that this kind of thing is warranted.

People do want to help Luigi and that scares the shit out of them too. They expected people's moral compass to make them side with the CEO he shot. But that's not what happened. The general public is very much pro Luigi.

It helps the police track your kids.

It's better for them because it does two things. It keeps you on the page longer (which allows them to steal more data from you or sell you more ads), and it normalizes their LLM.

I work in the field. I really liked the weather tile from Windows8/10 because my computer often would tell me at a glance if the weather was going to turn nasty. That was handy.

It would be simpler to just overlay Bluetooth or RF signals it can read with signals so numerous and strong that it is overwhelmed. The main problem with that is the size of the hardware you'd need.

You could pull the 20 phones in a trench coat thing that one guy did to create "traffic jams" where there were no cars.

lol. Guess Rumbas are illegal now. I guess it's good the company is out of business.

The denial appears to be the main reason to be upset about this.

This and 50-60+ years of being able to take video at face value.

Add to that the fact that a lot of them are lonely and probably have been for a very long time.

We already knew the elderly were particularly vulnerable to scams. AI just turbo charges the same scams we've been seeing for awhile. It's catfishing but taken to a whole new level and the elderly are already a vulnerable target.

It's a lot easier for us young people to learn new media literacy and accept that things are changing.

This is not an endorsement of the behavior. It's pointing out that we already pretty much knew this was going to be a thing. This isn't much different than your grandma trying to send money to some scammers who called her about an overdue bill or late taxes.
