tanny.sol ๐ป (@iLoveSpectra) reportedthis is a ******** in the face to we useful idiots who spent insane money deploying hotspots, working on HIPs, subDAOs governance. they just keep selling off the vital organs of the ecosystem and are giving nothing to the builders. were like Waze mappers who got nothing on IPO.

N (@Celatus3) reported@SecDuffy Iโm so infuriated with congestion pricing! It feels so violating between Waze sending you through zone when you can easily avoid it to feeling completely exploited! Itโs not even worth working after having to pay all this. And Iโm not taking train after incident I had!

KRISTIN KAY (@benchslappedtv) reported@Dan_Donovan_17 @HoldenMaur50368 Nobody is arguing that the GPS became more refined after Waze was opened. Thatโs normal. The issue is that you are treating the data interpretation as absolute and undisputed when it wasnโt. A more accurate GPS signal does not automatically prove the CW timeline or interpretation of events. Greenโs point was about how the timestamps and various phone artifacts aligned with each other not whether GPS accuracy improved from 20m to 5m.

๐ผ๐ฃ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ผ๐๐ง ๐ซ (@AncapAir) reported@ArmitageX @waze I was the same way at first, but the hardware is actually solid. @GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to create a non-Google phone with the same hardware hardening they require, but that's still a ways out.

AI_4_Healthcare (@AI_4_Healthcare) reported๐๐๐ ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฑ-๐จ๐ฐ-๐ด ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐-๐จ๐ฐ-๐. ๐พ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐; ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Big Tech is dropping billions like it's nothing. AI models are accelerating weekly ... from LLMs to AI agents to full orchestras of them running directly on our phones and desktops. Chatbots everywhere. Humanoids on the horizon. The world feels like it's spinning faster than anyone can track. Drones are no longer science fiction; they're reshaping warfare in real time, from Ukraine to the Gulf, amplifying chaos as conflicts escalate with tools we barely understand yet feel powerless to slow. Societal distrust is deepening. People fear massive job losses, bleak prospects for new graduates, and mounting risks around privacy and safety. Many believe governments are hopelessly behind and regulators simply cannot move at the speed of the technology they're supposed to govern. On this, they're not wrong. But here's the truth: AI is already everywhere ... we spread it around, ourselves. Every tap and swipe has been training it for years. Auto-correct, Grammarly, Amazon purchases, tap-to-pay, social feeds, Waze, Netflix โ the list is longer than most of us care to admit. We've flooded social media with graduation photos, videos of family vacays, and parents' obituaries; freely, eagerly, in real time. We recycled passwords across hundreds of accounts and clicked "agree" without reading a word. Identity theft and privacy violations? We continue to feed this machine through digital non-hygiene akin to the plague. It's already a buffet for AI-enabled fraudsters that we've served up. Corporations built platforms we loved: convenient, free, endlessly scrolling, and we accepted the trade-off with eyes at least half open. The business model was never hidden. We just chose not to think too hard about it. We spread the J-AI-M ourselves, every tap and swipe, 7-24-365 for years. The workforce consequences are no longer hypothetical. Copywriters, paralegals, customer service agents, and new grads are feeling the ground shift. The economic upside of AI is real, but it's flowing overwhelmingly to shareholders, not displaced workers. We need retraining pipelines, and we needed them yesterday. The promise is equally real! AI is transforming healthcare, will accelerate clean energy, 10X our climate change fight, and take us to other planets. The j-AI-r is open; what's inside is not all bad. There is more real hope than ridiculous hype. Do we push for algorithmic transparency laws? Demand digital literacy in schools and workplaces, not just how to use AI, but how to think critically about it? Support liability frameworks that hold developers accountable for measurable harm? Insist that workforce transition funding be tied to the companies generating billions from automation? Yes, no, what else? We made this J-AI-M. We spread it everywhere. We must be honest enough about our own roles to navigate what comes next ... wisely. ๐ค Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reportedWhy is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

Mark (@1zSolace) reported@waze why does every intersection I pass, Waze thinks I am turning at? Every time the map turns thinking I turned when I never even touched the wheel. Can you fix that?
-
๐ซถ๐ฝforcoloredsonly. (@waytooblunt_) reportedWaze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.

Peter Miles (@ginjajedi) reported@DanielCars05 Anybody had any issues getting sound from waze when using one of these?

Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reported@elormkdaniel Because your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesnโt โseeโ traffic, it measures behavior. Thousands of phones on the same road continuously send anonymized GPS location and speed data. The system groups these signals by road segments and compares current speeds with historical patterns. When vehicles suddenly slow down, like from 60 km/h to 10 km/h, it flags congestion and turns the road red in real time. Then comes Waze. After Google acquired it, the real power was in combining data, not merging apps. Waze users actively report accidents, police, closures, and hazards, and that information flows directly into Google Maps. In return, Googleโs massive data improves Wazeโs routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. Youโre not just using the map. You are the map.

โฟasic Logica๐ก (@BasicLogica) reported@vad3rt3sla FSD should see them, slow down and mark them automatically like Waze. This would be more reliable then waiting for people to mark them.
-
AnonyMassLawyer (@anonymasslawyer) reported@Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 She got within WiFi range at 12:36:39. Waze records very precise GPS data (error radius less than 5m) with accurate timestamps. From the time Waze was activated (12:20) to when then arrived at 34 Fairview (12:24:38) we have incredibly precise time/location data for the SUV

The problem with you old people nicabanga kafushane , most of you are not patriotic . Corruption is rife and the economy is declining and Nina nibusy allowing criminals to prosper ?! Ay man sies

MockingbirdShot (@MockingbirdShot) reported@LeinadFre @FPSCANADA_SS_ZZ @koshercockney Just a taste of Israeli technology inventions: Computing and Software: Israel invented the first commercial firewall, ICQ (the first instant messenger), and the Intel 8088 processor that powered the first IBM PCs. Medicine: The PillCam is a pill with a tiny camera you swallow to check for gut issues. Other tools include the ReWalk robotic suit that helps people with leg paralysis walk again. Agriculture: Israel is the home of modern drip irrigation (like Netafim). This system sends water drop-by-drop straight to plant roots to save water in dry climates. Cars and Road Safety: Waze uses data from drivers to map the best routes. Mobileye makes computer vision chips for cars to warn drivers about road hazards. What have you done? Antisemitism, although you certainly didnโt invent that. ๐

Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@DLCampanile That's why I use Waze. I've never been done wrong by Waze, and twice screwed myself over when I didn't get off a highway when Waze told me to. (Both cases, there was a crash ahead I didn't know about, and Waze had a way around it.)
-
Skullaz-san๐ฏ๐ฒ (@xSkullaz) reportedListen me no one force yall mofos to use waze!! If you have a issue report it but you better be respectful cause I am not short of a sym and I will definitely ignore your report !! Think it tek boy fi sit up at nights fix **** so people routes while using waze can be better???
-
RE2PECTNYC (@RE2PECTNYC) reported@IMSAVAGECREATOR @raphousetvgang @raphousetv2 It's actually handicapping society when the average person has to use Google or Waze, just to get home. That is a problem where you need GPD to get home.

Nthambe (@Nthambemasera) reported@msiziworld Waze has no problem thre settings by the user are a problm
-
DJ (@congressdj) reported@phibetakitten Donโt get me wrong. It will reach the closed road and detour just fine. The problem was that so many roads were closed, it kept mapping to the closed roads and then doing detours. It was almost endless at one point. Using Waze I was able to navigate it in 1/10 the time
-
Maxim Oskolsky (@oskolsky_maxim) reported@Altawesomeee Built this app to solve my own problem: I use multiple navigation apps, but none of their favorites sync together. I got tired of saving the same places over and over across Google Maps, Waze, Yandex, etc.
-
Pablo Sarco (@jPabloSarco) reportedIt is the same with Waze or Google maps. Sometimes the route I selected is because different reasons and saving time is not important. Looks like a problem with all these routing software
-
Jason Wallace (@TragedyCalls) reported@nursedanakay Surely it cannot be beyond the wit of man to map where they are. Certainly telematics should be telling the car something's not right in the same place every day. I have a similar issue on my route and @waze. 9 speed humps which variously appear and disappear .
-
Sammy Lee (@Sammy__Lee__) reported@BoBbyPleWniaK FSD needs to know to slow down to speed limit when it sees a cop. It should also speak to other Teslas and navigation should know where cops are like waze
-
The People's Party (@ESideEnt57) reported@hippyygoat Negative jurisdiction is in America you can sue WAZE contract for attempting to subvert jurisdiction. As jurisdiction in held were the issue took place.
-
usoma (@usomaahah) reported@EyrahClyne @XavierNaxa I use it a lot. Due to navigation is easy to understand. But a lot of bugs still need to be reported and fix, need more users to use and reports. Even GMap or Waze still has bugs with large user base. Sometimes Apple Maps has newer update that them

OTTA ๐ฐ (@ottabag) reportedHow do I fix my Waze or Google maps my **** keeps teleporting me
