Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is amazing. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commander Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world.
During the big game, you may have seen an emotional Amazon commercial about how Ring doorbell cameras reunite lost dogs with their owners. Here's the straight scoop. I'm Kim Commando for ExpressVPN.

Ring doorbells are so prevalent that it's common to find anywhere from 5 to 20 on any given street. So Amazon had an idea. Using their mesh network called Sidewalk, anyone with a lost dog can upload the dog's photo. Ring doorbells in the area will scan for the dog as it monitors what's going on outside. And if your dog wanders by, Ring cameras attempt to match your photos.
Amazon says it reunited 99 dogs in 90 days. Recording outside activity is perfectly legal.
Chapter 2: How can Ring doorbells help reunite lost dogs with their owners?
The Ring doorbell network is already in place. And what a great idea. It sure beats stapling lost dog photos on telephone poles. Enter to win $250 every single day in February at winfromkim.com. And now, as promised, a clip from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show. It's pretty much the best radio show in the world, but I may be just a little biased. Sit back and enjoy.
You know how I really always wanted to be a rich and famous singer? Sure. You know, I really thought that would be so amazing. And then, then I thought, you know, we could AI my voice and then I could be like Nora Jones, like sultry type of music. And then I could, I think that'd be so fun. I still want to do that one day. I've given up on learning myself.
Wait a minute. That whole thing we've done on the show where you, the singing coach and he did live sessions. I just don't, I'm just not into it. No, no. So it's not that you can't, it's just, you don't want to. Yes. Oh, okay. All right.
Well, Bandcamp is out there and it's a little bit different because AI artists are taking over YouTube and Spotify. And Bandcamp says they have banned all music substantially made with AI, plus scraping, cloning, and impersonating real artists with bots.
Not trying to give a plug, but my company, iHeartRadio, also has done the same thing. Really? I didn't know that.

Chapter 3: What is Amazon's Sidewalk network and how does it work for lost pets?
We're not allowed to play anything artificial intelligence on any of our rare waves.
And so Bandcamp says if your album art was made with Midjourney or anything else like that, the vocals came from 11 Labs or somewhere else, and your instruments from Sono, it's a wrap for you. That's it. You're just not going to get put on Bandcamp. Do you think they're going to make it? Do you think they will make it?
I just don't know. Do people really like this? Because we know it's got a million views, a million streams, two million streams. But do people really like it or are people interested in it? And it's just a fad where AI music won't last. I think it's going to last.
I don't know, because the whole thing about music is the A, experience, and the concert going is part of that experience, and you can't go see an AI band in concert. Yes, you can.
I imagine that you have this big stage, a little phone holder, and you put the phone

Chapter 4: How effective is the Ring system in reuniting lost dogs?
We're in the second row and we have awful seats. Crazy. All right, so guess what?
Chapter 5: What are the legal implications of using Ring cameras for monitoring?
What? Your electric bill's going up. Yes. Your local data center, it's not. Why? Utilities are giving massive breaks to big tech and some are bypassing neighborhood wires altogether and getting these hush-hush contracts, even at lower rates. So in Virginia, ratepayers covered $5 billion in upgrades for data centers.
Chapter 6: What alternatives exist for finding lost pets besides technology?
And most residential customers have zero say in pricing. So you're not just paying for your lights, you're subsidizing Grok putting bikinis on any image that it sees. Boo! Not good. Hey, you know that split second in a movie when the pilot goes, I need cover, I need cover. The Marines are said to have pilotless drones. Think about this.
Northrop Grumman and Kratos Defense, they're building autonomous fighter jets that fly wingmen to real pilots. They take suicide missions, they draw enemy fire, they pull maneuvers that would turn a human pilot into paste.
Chapter 7: What are the potential privacy concerns with using Ring doorbells?
The drone chooses its own tactics mid-flight. This is not remote controlled. This is an AI drone. It's making combat decisions in real time while flying 600 miles per hour next to an $80 million F-35 jet.
Chapter 8: How can you leverage technology to increase your chances of finding a lost pet?
And they predict that it's just gonna go crazy because think of this, your backup pilot doesn't have a home to go to. That's it, it's just a drone. It's really cool.
