so you set it down somewhere and it just watches you and randomly saves video then uses that to learn and adapt and recognize people commonly at your house, oh...kay

this sounds both totally sinister and like it would be nicer to have in-hand while attempting to camcord with lots of family around christmastime

too bad about the "automatically saves video when it thinks it is good" aspect tho, I guess

this thing apparently only captures like, 5 to 10 seconds at a time, 15 frames per second, and there's no sound

it's also pretty low res and doesn't take stills, but the app lets you use ~machine learning~ to turn any individual frame into a higher res picture so that's okay!!

that's just what google photos has always offered for sorting and doing highlights out of videos/albums of related pictures. and the device itself came out in early 2017 with little interest after there was already other doofy "wear it all the time" clip on camera things like that cyborg rights guy has worn for 20 years

plenty of homeless people in california are from the midwest

i feel like the state has tried to sue other states over it for social services costs

my crappy old village bought our one homeless dude that used to squat in some of the vacant old houses around town a bus ticket to LA; i think some video popped up with him in venice maybe at some point

you'd think they'd get the point after a while, hmm?

the point is either "you can't afford to live here so move somewhere else" or "we have a drastic shortage in housing supply" depending on whether or not you own a 1.5 million dollar home in that city
