That's cool, so with the AI chip it can recognize individuals people and pets? Just wondering how you prevent it from alerting you for well, you.

Last I looked into this Frigate was the most robust path to take, they recommend cameras that are about $50-$100 each but in my playing around I connected a Yi camera ($10) with custom firmware.

That said it was all a bit over my head and I had trouble connecting it to home assistant and gave up

I would love a follow up post with whatever setup you go with!

Glad to hear they were recalled!

That’s what OnePlus, Nothing, and FairPhone are supposed to be about.

It seems that you're implying they're not? Could you expand?

If there was a book or website out there that described something poisonous as not poisonous, and someone believed what was written and became poisoned, I think most reasonable people would point the blame at whoever published the bad information.

Yet when the bad (potentially deadly in this case!) information comes from ChatGPT, OpenAI gets a pass (including by everyone so far in this comment section) and the blame is placed on the person who was poisoned!

You asked how can you live peacefully knowing that your words might be used against you. I don't believe you can, and I also don't believe you ever truly could. But I also don't believe that is a reason to self-censor.

how can i live peacfully knowing that i can be suspected of anything just because i made a joke here or said something there?

You've never been able to say things publicly (or, since the internet, publish something that the entire world can read) and expect to be shielded from the consequences. There is always a risk that comes with speaking freely, especially if powerful people perceive your words as a challenge to their power.

The erosion of privacy protections is a reason to despair, but it is also a reason to speak more.

Ha! That's on me for not reading until the end, thanks for that.

That's a good quote, I know she didn't mean it this way, but it made me think of LLM chatbots. They have no substance beyond their power to convince. They're basically pure marketing machines.

I agree, atomic distos have allowed me to make the switch and are better and easier than windows and even macos.
