@evacide dude looks like he's being played by Dana Carvey

@evacide Because the only crime in "most normal, average neighborhoods" is the relatively low sophistication, stranger-perpetrated, petty property crime; right?

That's the lie that makes the one about product efficacy pale nearly into irrelevance.

@evacide I would love if there would be a gang stealing ring cameras. #irony.

@evacide these guys want to pretend that they and their product are nothing but an intermediary between a police report and an an insurance company claim.

@evacide one the same page on Larry E 😉

@evacide The title alone had me fuming.
What world we live in where a fascist wet dream can be displayed so blatantly.

@evacide

Betcha if we Rung-up the guts of his home the crime indexes would shiver. These types are always fucking violence in veneers. Dead-eyed.

@evacide I understood who he is at “zero out crime.”

Just gonna leave this here:

@evacide I think we should set up a matrix of ring door bells around his house and along his commute routes, see how he likes that shit.

@evacide Something needs zeroing out alright...

@evacide don't blame the guy for his claims. Blame the army of morons who will follow.

@evacide Is he suggesting that we should record video, from every home, 24/7, stream it to data centres, where AI, will evaluate all that footage, again, from all the homes, 24/7, and if the AI suspects something criminal (which supposedly is now almost never the case), what, call the police?

To me, that sounds like an extreme energy intensive way to implement Orwellian grade mass surveillance.

I'll pass, thank you very much.

@evacide What a fucking grifter

@evacide

@evacide proving that crime isnt real outside of some porch delivery thefts in 2025 and beyond

@evacide Some sort of corollary to Betteridge's Law of headlines is needed, for headlines that are very obviously bollocks.

Or maybe editors need to structure all headlines as "Can Ring cameras 'zero out crime' within the next twelve months, as stated by CEO?" so we can just "no".

@evacide

My take on this user: Ignore her posts at your own peril.

@evacide

Yeah well Fuck This Guy and Amazon for their Fascistic ways...

@evacide "I'm sure after all this dumb shit I did I am now qualified to make huge claims without verifying them in any way, or thinking through the implications.

That's how life works right, first you do a lot of dumb shit, and then after a certain point, you're always right about everything."

@evacide Why does tech journalism fail to see that "Tech CEO makes monumental claim about product they are selling" as anything other than an advertisement for the product? In all the ways that the press has failed, becoming an useful-idiot-advertising-arm for tech bros is grating. I think because it's so lazy.

"Charming stranger says Snake Oil will cure the ill humors"

@evacide the first thing that I thought when I saw the headline was "wage theft is the most common form of crime." *Clearly* buying privacy-destroying home doorbells will fix that one right up.

It's all just authoritarian fearmongering against The Other.

@evacide It is hard to get someone to understand a thing when their salary depends on them not understanding it.

@evacide challenge accepted

@evacide I can't wait to see how doorbells on residences will foil bank robberies and drive-by shootings.

@evacide It just shows he's an authoritarian police state tech oligarch.

@evacide I hope this turns into the new "we'll be having sex with robots in 10 years" meme. Count it down. See everyone next year when crime is solved.

@evacide
Well the title is at least what I'd expect from him as an autobiography
