[Clearview AI nods in approval]
- internetter 4y agoDoes anyone know who was contracted for the facial recognition? Would not surprise me in the least if it was clearview
- boeingUH60 4y agoI doubt it. Clearview is already being targeted by regulators in the US and Canada, and trading with Iran is basically giving those regulators a 50-caliber bullet to knock them down. I’ll guess the software is from a Chinese company..

So everyone who has ever contributed to Linux must also be aware of the consequences of their work, there’s no avoiding it.
- paganel 4y agoGood way for avoiding responsibility, as good as any other, I guess. But I’m sure that for those directly involved the money is excellent and the feeling of doing something “cool” must be through the roof, uncle Ted and Ellul be damned.

Biometric surveillance and digital identity initiatives must be resisted or we will inevitably find ourselves hopelessly ensnared by a totalitarian clique. Machines can't be convinced to join the revolution. Build it and they will come.

I guess it’s easy for us to wash our hands of what our software is used for - it’s bad guys who use it, and maybe it’s bad guys that sell it to bad guys, all I do is close some jiras
