Considering how few laws are enforced these days, having a ring video of a crime doesn’t really mean anything.

I’m more concerned about political uses of Ring footage than I am package theft.

Why couldn't they do it in the past 12 months, and why should people believe anything they promise?

By "crime," he means homeless and people who look like immigrants.

That's literally the plot of Watch Dogs, no?

I hope we'll also get Dedsec with it. While the game had it's flaws, the Dedsec broadcasts are such a cool visual feat.

Man, I bet that, when this guy watched The Ring, the first thought that came into his mind was that the characters were being idiots by not making as many copies of the tape as possible and then selling them!

And the beauty of it is, that all that AI makes it possible to select specific instances and people we’re gonna call ‘criminal’, and others that we’re just gonna automatically ignore.

“Crime”

well so long as you are not in jail it can not zero out crimes against humanity

... So his plan is to put them all over corporate boardrooms and (what's left of) the White House?

Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something

Obvious spyware grift is obvious.

Here we go with this 1984-nonsense

This just in, Ring's CEO admits to being a complete idiot. Look at the cameras in the UK. Mass surveillance does not stop crime.

I HATE IT HERE

Oh that's awesome I didn't realize cameras are able to create a system where the basic necessities of life aren't locked down by money, where people aren't being disenfranchised/marginalized/exploited and not having to fend out for themselves figuring out any way to survive but instead working together to answer everybody's needs

Hey, how about zeroing out wage theft?

This guy can get fucked

Coughcough

The only thing it will do is to further reduce our privacy and expose our data to big corpos

Lol. GTFO here ya clown. Anyone that lives in a big city knows that cameras don't stop crimes. Tweekers, dirty cops, politicians... none of em give a shit if they're on camera.

Ring CEO:

We are just so fucked from every angle, from this to Teams reporting everything you do to the man to everything else.

I'm just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.

A famous criminal lawyer in Australia told me that CCTV is a bluff. The perpetrator merely needs to deny it is them.

My friend employed an expert witness to perform computerized facial pattern recognition but the other party got their own "expert" to counter it.

this man's face looks like about to emit a nasal laughter while he plugs a ring camera into a UPS, singlehandedly putting humanity's most secured military zones to shame

He's full of shit

If you're in the UK could you get prosecuted for saying something "grossly offensive" around one of those ring door bells?

Ring doorbell is watching you.
