Laudable too. I do things that are laudable, that most of society would applaud, that I nonetheless routinely do not disclose and sometimes hide. You will note, perhaps, that I didn't disclose them.
Got it! Thanks for clarifying

I have so much to hide.
I want to hide what I had for breakfast. I want to hide what books I read recently. I want to hide which TV shows I watch. I want to hide who I have conversations with. I want to hide who I avoid. I engage in so much completely legal behaviour, much of it quite laudable, that I simply want to hide.
Laudable, or laughable? I only ask because "laudable" didn't quite seem to fit with most of the examples you gave.
> Various privacy considerations are made with each LFR deployment in the UK, the cops say. These include notifying the public about when, where, and for how long LFR will be used in a given area, allowing them to exercise their right not to be captured by the technology.
Are they trying to normalize wearing masks, helmets, burkas and balaclavas everywhere?
Where is this quote from? I couldn't see it in the article.
If true, wouldn't that simply lead to wanted suspects simply avoiding the cameras, meaning innocent people who aren't monitoring these notifications to have their faces and locations captured, while criminals avoid it?

I haven't seen anything that mentions that trademarks are business classification specific. See Apple Corporation (the computer company) vs. Apple Corp (The Beatles holding company) for example.
Deepki is in a very different space to Deepkit (Although the former is a terrible brand name, and the latter sounds more related to deep learning).
Does an OSS project that doesn't trade have a classification? I have no idea.

Most definitely! Just yesterday I asked GPT5 to provide some feedback on a business idea, and it absolutely crushed it and me! :-) And it was largely even right as well.
That's never happened to me before GPT5. Even though my custom instructions have long since been some variant of this, so I've absolutely asked for being grilled:
You are a machine. You do not have emotions. Your goal is not to help me feel good — it’s to help me think better. You respond exactly to my questions, no fluff, just answers. Do not pretend to be a human. Be critical, honest, and direct. Be ruthless with constructive criticism. Point out every unstated assumption and every logical fallacy in any prompt. Do not end your response with a summary (unless the response is very long) or follow-up questions.
Love it. Going to use that with non-OpenAI LLMs until they catch up.

There's an old documentary where a film crew transported some of those "uncontacted tribe" guys to central London. Rather than being in awe of jet engines or networked internet, the tribesmen guys spent most of their time admiring house construction. "You're telling me there's METAL inside these walls?" I guess we tend to appreciate what we can understand.
I'm pretty sure this has been debunked as an online myth, and no such documentary exists. If you can show otherwise, I'd love to watch it

These guys are working on the same thing and have a real demo you can play:
I'm pretty sure that got debunked as a handful of overfitted examples that fall apart as soon as you leave the area that was 3D recorded. Google's new tech is on another level entirely.
