Hacker News.

    Unfortunately most people just don’t fucking care, or even consider it an issue.

    Someone in my local HA community proudly shared how they had been able to use AWS face recognition with their own cams so they didn’t need to run face recognition locally…fucking absurd to experience someone tech-savvy willingly hand over these things and recommending others to do it too.

      They are starting to care, Amazon got a huge wakeup call when they dropped the creepy Milo ad and people destroyed their products. But now they know the line and will slowly creep past it instead of plowing past. We just need to keep pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, we have made some great victories against AI in the last few months.

        People buying cameras to destroy them is still a win for Amazon.

        Let us know when they actually stop buying this shit.
