Hello, social credit scores.
- overgard 8mo agoWhat could go wrong.. I wonder if anyone in tech ever watches Black Mirror (other than the AI zealots that seem to watch it and go "SO MANY GREAT IDEAS!")
- duskdozer 8mo agoWhy would I ever need to study humanities or ethics? I just want to build cool stuff!
- 1970-01-01 8mo agoYou would never frame it like that. Think more like eBay buyer and seller ratings for GitHub pull requests. Seems very obvious. The reputation system doesn't involve money of any kind, but a number rating the overall smoothness of transaction of a pull request from the perspective of both sides.
- _heimdall 8mo agoI don't really care about how it would be framed though. What's being described is a central authority creating a scoring mechanism to rate us as individuals. That's bad regardless of framing in my opinion. I don't think social credit scores have any dependence on involving money, for what its worth. Usually that's just a normal credit score rather than anything social.
