But damn it's neat and maybe frightening. Imagine if your next hiring manager had a quiet little camera in the corner and chose you based on your predicted approval of unions.
This is the dystopian vision of the future I come to HN for. Bravo!
(It's also why I do ML, since I'll be on the front lines to notice if something like that is being deployed. Or at least somewhat more likely.)

- alcover 6y agoSorry for my platitude but ML is only a tool. Nefarious usage gets counter-balnced by e.g. identifying tumours.
- coldelectrons 6y agoIt doesn't balance out; nefarious usage is going to cause many, many tiny harms that are harder to detect, and many larger harms that will be excused, up to and including denying that beneficial use of indentifying tumors, because algorithms are going to be presented as beyond reproach. Beyond detecting union affinity, maybe someone will also makes its ML twin that predicts how much they can underpay someone.
- coldelectrons 6y agoI'm sure that's exactly what the tech giants will do in their feudal-governed cities they are going to carve out of Nevada.
