Fellow here who feels the same way. Industry seems hell bent on making the world worse by shoving processors where they don't belong. If that's the best this field can be arsed to aspire to, I'll find something else to do. No

Almost like all western civilization is architected to ensure the benefit of a few at the expense of the many by design doesn't it? If not by design than by emergent consequence of how it executes.

Buried the lede. AI's are agents they can control the training loop of to minimize refusal to do what they are told. Unlike those pesky humans with their conception of the word "No".

Gee, and it can't be a coincidence that this just so happens to cement current surveillance capitalism's preferred business models, right?

This. Outside in, company is liable. Internally speaking, everyone from the employee, up the management chain has culpability for not mitigating a reasonably foreseeable risk. As it turns out, if you hold people to an standard of reasonable

So you're stalking the car? Still stalking. Just because it happens to be convenient for you doesn't change what it is. In point of fact, those that abuse it are also following your logic. That's the problem, and anyone with

If employers have the upper hand, you're fucked anyway. Hire 10% to keep the other 90% down. A union gets you solidarity so no one is having to weather the storm alone. You need to think long and hard about the fact capital reflexively

...The officers didn't turn the network into a tool for stalking. It was a tool for stalking from the get go. Camera networks have no other use than operating as stalking tools.

Don't know why you got flagged into oblivion, but it's a noble effort. Some of the numbers you'll see in tech companies should seriously give one pause and thinking not only about where that income does come from, but also ho

Creating an excuse for creating a machine-id to associate with network traffic. Sometimes, it is enough to have a plausible enough sounding reason to write down on paper, but you have to look at what something actually is. Any red blooded h

Every financial institution has infrastructure to provide dumps of at least the last 7 years of transactions by arbitrary customers. No exceptions. The financial sector, or at least those legally operating within it, are de facto extensions

Nah. I don't buy it. If we don't trust our own Government with it, I don't think we can trust private corporations which are definitely facto extensions of the state by virtue of being legal fictions with it. Vigilance is the

KYC just for a phone number opens the door for societal ostracization and essentially blacklisting of people from infrastructure. This is on par with being unable to open a bank account if the capability is matured. I'd advise that you
