# A Dog A Day > A new Ring AI surveillance feature turns neighborhoods into search parties while the Epstein scandal reaches the highest levels of the British government and the Olympic committee. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1842 - **Published:** 2026-02-12 - **Length:** 3h 10m - **People:** [Adam Curry](https://search.noagendashow.net/person/adam-curry.md) (host), [John C Dvorak](https://search.noagendashow.net/person/john-c-dvorak.md) (host) - **Topics:** Ring AI, Epstein Scandal, Carbon Deregulation, Ozempic Scurvy, El Paso Drone, Coal Revival - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1842-a-dog-a-day ## About this episode Jamie Semenov, founder of Ring, defended the new AI-powered Search Party feature following intense privacy backlash during Super Bowl LIX. The surveillance tool allows law enforcement to retrieve video data from back-end systems even without active user subscriptions, sparking fears of a neighbor-to-neighbor tracking state. This expansion of the Ring ecosystem coincides with a broader push for domestic monitoring and the integration of AI into local law enforcement workflows. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed a military laser neutralized a drone incursion at El Paso International Airport, though local reports suggest the target was a Mylar party balloon. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces calls to resign after Peter Mandelson was appointed ambassador despite evidence of leaking financial data to Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, the Trump administration prepares to revoke the EPA endangerment finding on carbon dioxide while prioritizing coal-derived electricity for AI data centers. In Canada, media outlets are under fire for suppressing details regarding a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge perpetrated by a transgender gunman. British pop star Robbie Williams reportedly contracted scurvy as a side effect of Ozempic use, highlighting the unintended consequences of the GLP-1 weight-loss craze. The University of California system recorded a historic drop in computer science enrollment as students pivot toward vocational trades to avoid AI-driven job displacement. This episode also pays tribute to the late Sir Bill Walsh, the creative force behind the iconic No Agenda art and music library. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Computer Science Enrollment Decline, Entry-Level Job Automation (44:11–49:06) The University of California system is reporting a significant drop in computer science enrollment, the first since the dot-com bust, as students fear entry-level roles are being replaced by AI bots. Experts suggest that while coding jobs are evolving, there is a growing need for "knowledge workers" who understand entire systems rather than just syntax. Vocational trades are highlighted as a stable alternative to automated white-collar work.
