But for some fields, almost EVERYTHING they touch is sensitive. I've been reviewing PPML for wildlife management purposes, which my brother is involved in and my other brother, a ML expert, may want to be involved in.
With wildlife management, you're dealing with health issues, like rabies outbreaks. That requires privacy. You want to preserve customer confidentially because it's often embarassing. And private property cameras and sensors can leak information about private citizens or kids in a neighborhood without appropriate social and technical protections.
There are hundreds of fields like this. Not just healthcare and policing.
We are likely to see a lot of the hardware required for this to move out into space data centers for batch jobs at least.
And along with that calls for reduced RF and light pollution like StarLink.
And that is going to be helped by a large number of angry liberal citizens who are being riled up about data centers. And that anti-tech rhetoric is already leading to violent responses and debate.
Which hurts the liberal cause for universal healthcare. Conservatives see angry liberal anti-tech actions and tarnish calls for healthcare reform and other liberal causes.
The people who are going to benefit the most from cheaper PPML in orbiting data centers are in many ways making it harder for the rest of us.
It's not a small issue, and I wish I had had the reputation to reduce the anger.
It seems unrelated to PPML. But PPML is a clever political gas pedal to get space control.
