people with poor values can do well in politics, if they play on resentment (as in australia and usa)

some australian polticians would say they are not about resentment but about what is right and fair. they sound like two year olds squabbling in a sand box.

here, ricky from council estate media talks about the UK, where the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is talking up paranoia on behalf of the Labour government.

“”Disturbingly, the home secretary wants to use technology such as facial recognition and AI to ensure the state has eyes everywhere at all times. Mahmoud recently said in a BBC interview:

“Let me say I make no apology for rolling out this technology... What I would say to people that are very motivated by sort of campaigning on civil liberties is that you can’t enjoy any of your liberties in any country if you’re not safe.””

@jedbrown the problem I see in terms of current court decisions (the on in #Germany) is that this basically makes #teaching illegal since it cannot distinguish the useage.

So in essence any musician who learned to play with copyrighted songs may be liable for the same lawsuit.

Needless to say I oppose "#AI" for more important reasons, like it being #WastefulComputing and a #scam #industry that will offload the cost of the bubble to #consumers & #taxpayers and also result in more #cyberfascism and #SurveillanceStates!
