#DitchRing if you own one and value your #freedom
> President and CEO of Amazon Andy Jassy calls it a “compelling” use of #AI. “Millions of dogs go missing in the U.S. every year — and options for finding them are often painfully limited. Our #Ring team saw an opportunity to use our community and technology to help, so they built Search Party,” Jassy writes on X.
> “Nice way to start a mass surveillance product and label it as dog rescue,” writes one person beneath Jassy’s post. “Ring offering to turn your neighborhood into an AI-fueled #surveillance state under the guise of ‘helping you find your lost dog’ is CRAZY,” writes another.

@smallcircles bad enough if a strange vehicle drives into the street.
But imagine if a strange person walks up the road. The neighbourhood alarms will start to buzz with “stranger danger”. And if it’s dark outside they stand a pretty good chance of being shot. #standyourground
You basically give consent for third parties to facilitate your camera in an AI surveillance network.
By having a Ring doorbell, or any cloud-connected alternative, all these kinds of privacy infringing applications are already possible. It is unknown what happens with the collected data.
Launching this as a product is just making it officially 'legal' and 'not-shady-at-all' by obtaining ones implicit/explicit consent.
@smallcircles Until we learn it was Jeff Bezos kidnapping all the dogs in the first palce to create hype for his shitty doorbells.
@inpc like POTUS, the Parasite on the US, he's just intent on making things 🐶 --> 🌭 HOT.
