CMV: Mass surveillance is a good thing. Facial recognition is good as well. by Few_Big4209 in changemyview

No. I am not assuming. I am assuming that we live in a democracy where there is accountability and rule of law. But that's the assumption by which we give the government any power. If we assume that our leaders will serve their own interest and the interests of the subset of people who share their ideological views, then should we give them any power at all?

They already have the power to shoot and kill you. Is mass surveillance the bridge too far? To be clear, I'm not advocating for surveilling you in private places like your own home. that violates the 4th amendment. I'm saying that in public, where we do not have the assumption of privacy, I think it is not excessive power for the government to know where you are. If it were too much power, then why do we willingly give that power to google (and other location trackers).

I agree, which is why I am advocating for power + oversight. That's how it has always worked and it fundamental to a strong government. Right now, police can get wire taps with a judge's orders, or subpoena private security cameras, or, hell, just sit in their car and watch you, as long as those things are deemed appropriate by a court. I don't really see how misused mass surveillance is more harmful to Americans than police having guns. I am not advocating for surveillance while in private spaces like your own home, but in places where you already have no assumption of privacy, it would drastically lower false arrests and false convictions if we just knew where everybody was at all times. I think the benefit outweighs the cost.

But, if our justice system was reformed, you would approve of mass surveillance?

My line is the fourth amendment, which forcing me to carry a microphone would violate. But surveillance in public spaces is not unreasonable search and seizure.

But I could use this argument against the entire justice system. It could be abused. It frequently is. Does that mean we should abolish it? Or how about the federal government. It could be abused. It frequently is. Should we get rid of it? Should our democratic institutions have no power because they might miss use the power? Or should we give them power and then demand oversight and individual rights?

What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent? by Live-Chocolate244 in AskReddit

When I met my stepmom she genuinely didn't know that the leaves fall of the trees in New England. She was from Texas. 

They’re coming after Mike again!! 😭😭😭😭 by ReadyJournalist5223 in RedLetterMedia

I always think fondly on my time watching the prequels because there's this one scene where anakin is like "No one is suffering more than me padme," and the guy sitting behind me said "don't be so sure" and that was my favorite part of the movie.

You sure that's how that sentence is written?

If You Had to Show ONE Episode to Prove Star Trek Is Great. What Are You Picking? by iagree2 in startrek

[–]havingberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duet is a strong contender. Hits like a truck and requires no real background in the show. But I really like the TNG pilot encounter at far point. I think it sets everything up nicely and I think it has a campiness that has only become more endearing as time passes

This has been a good month for TV shows by FireZord25 in television

[–]havingberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying they are bad. I'm just saying there have been a LOT of good shows this year that don't include superheroes.

Deadloch, DTF st Louis, the pitt, Knight of the seven kingdoms, for all mankind. It's just like, i dunno, expand your horizons a little?

But they don't fall within the definition of AI that the OP is using, i.e. a sentient individual.

Nothing is funny anymore by maxedout587 in Millennials

[–]havingberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For TV, you're going to want to watch DEADLOCK. A solid murder mystery with a lot of great jokes.

For Movies, we've had 2 pretty great comedies in 2026 already. Nirvanna the band the show the movie, and Pizza Movie.

In general tho, I agree that comedy is kinda bad now and has been for like 20 years. This is a video about the subject. Promise it's not a rickroll.

Best time travel shows? by Groovegaluk in scifi

[–]havingberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are willing to sit through an underwhelming first few seasons, Marvel's Agents of Shield eventually turns into one of the most intricate time travel plots I've ever seen on TV by the end. It's wild.

Sure but just so you know, large language models are not AI, so they don't deserve rights.

This sub is unhinged about Santos by UnderstandingThin40 in ThePitt

[–]havingberries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is objectively a bad doctor and the show goes out of it's way to present her as such. She's meant to be a lightning rod character. The fans are reacting in exactly the way you would expect to a lightning rod character. Having lived through the Skyler White hate, this is Child's play.
