If you are stuck living somewhere where music is illegal, and you happen to listen to some music on the sly and get caught by a perfect system, and punished, how is that better?
Better would be if people can live freely without having to worry about a perfect system tracking their every action.
There is no person alive on earth today who does not do things that would get them punished under the law of some government somewhere.
And you want the law enforcement systems to be perfect?
- zdragnar 5y agoNo, I want them to be held accountable for when they are wrong, and the hypothetical example of a good facial recognition system removing human bias was an example of that, and could protect people from the other example the post I replied to, which was search warrants granted under a single unreliable source's statement. Facial recognition isn't going to care that you procured illegally distributed copies of protected works (your ISP already does that anyway), so lets stop moving the goal posts. It is a reactive, not proactive system, and while I am not fully convinced that it is actually ready, I am also not buying the slippery slope nonsense.
- natch 5y ago>isn't going to care that you procured illegally distributed copies of protected works Sorry, I wasn't clear maybe, but somehow you misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about pirated music. I was pointing out that some regimes have laws that forbid listening to music, period. Fixing bias doesn't help when all it does is help accurately catch innocent people who in fact were accurately detected to be doing innocent things, and punishes them for doing those innocent things because those innocent things are illegal in that country for no good reason.
