A world in which everything is a value transaction is the saddest world you could possibly imagine.

(Or, as Silicon Valley libertarians call it, heaven.)

“You who live safe
In your warm houses,
You who find warm food
And friendly faces when you return home.
Consider if this is a man
Who works in mud,
Who knows no peace,
Who fights for a crust of bread,
Who dies by a yes or no.
Consider if this is a woman
Without hair, without name,
Without the strength to remember,
Empty are her eyes, cold her womb,
Like a frog in winter.
Never forget that this has happened.
[...]”
― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz

Do not ever forget. EVER.

How AI can identify people even in anonymized datasets
Weekly social interactions form unique signatures that make people stand out

This is why I consider myself pseudonymous. Also, no doubt the NSA have been using AIs like this for a while. They aren’t supposed to spy domestically, but probably wouldn’t stop the FBI or other law enforcement agencies from using them. Sure would be nice if they used it for good like finding Jan 6 participants.

A neural network identified a majority of anonymous mobile phone service subscribers using details about their weekly social interactions.

At least future generations will know that not all of us were self-destructive, shortsighted fools. Knowing folks like this exist gives me hope.

Israel police are using NSO’s Pegasus spyware on the country’s own citizens, including opponents of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. NSO had previously claimed that Pegasus would not be used within Israel.

The phone hacks are said to have been carried out without warrants and without any judicial oversight.
