AI6YR Benyeah it's bad-bad that we are here, even if obvious we were heading here
Jay 🇺🇦I remember reading a similar story about China years ago and thinking "holy cow, I'm so happy I don't live there".
The problem is that the pauses between the lightning and the thunder keep getting shorter and shorter...
well said, ufff
theHastyOne@inquiline the callousness of the police surveillance state is that hardest thing to swallow. You can still be picked up and held without charges for 3 days in most states. Most people would lose their job over that..cause a cop maybe had a grudge, a computer thought you looked like someone. Then what? "Explain this gap in your employment?" As soon as they hear cops you aren't getting the job?
I couldn't imagine waiting in jail a week much less several..and then just like "our bad" and they drop you at the bus station?
Ain't no way its a justice system...its a legal system...HUGE difference
mivox is exhausted 
@inquiline That poor woman should be able to sue everyone responsible into utter destitution.
Rupert V/@mivox @inquiline Even if she had committed the crime (instead of being 1,000 miles away at the time), 103 days in jail before seeing a judge is blatantly unconstitutional.

Massive lawsuits are literally the only way the cops and their local governments learn. Until then, they think AI is a totally awesome tool because it gives them a pretext to do all the illegal crap they know they can't do on their own.

Rich Puchalsky ⩜⃝"Should?" Possibly. But no intervention within our legal system is ever going to help. That poor woman and many others like her should be protected by having us abolish all of our police.
@richpuchalsky @inquiline Sure, that too… but that won’t undo what she already lost. Or what anyone else whose life they’ve ruined has already suffered.
Nothing will undo what she has already lost. Certainly, a lawsuit will not. I realize that you wrote "should", so it's a prescriptive statement that to a large extent I agree with, but descriptively it's not going to happen.
@richpuchalsky @inquiline A class action lawsuit is significantly more likely than abolition, in the foreseeable future. It would be delightful to achieve abolition by suing all law enforcement agencies into insolvency, as long as we’re dreaming though. 
Aethra LuxWhat's even more disturbing is to read the article I have to accept all the data harvesting or I can pay and subscribe and maintain my privacy...
So reading the article is basically complying with the same system that allows for it to happen and paying for it...
Finitum@inquiline land of the free, home of the brave. Locking up ladies for 103 days before they see a court room just to say "whoops, we can't computer right" & then just releasing her hundreds of miles away from home before Christmas.
Why does Fargo, North Dakota, population whocares have access to AI facial recognition software? If anyones looking to save tax money- guaranteed the annual cost on that software contract surpasses the cost of every bank theft & fraud in Fargo for the next decade.

Paul Lalonde@inquiline This isn't an AI error. This gross police and prosecutor malconduct.
