A Georgia man says authorities wrongly arrested him based on a match generated by facial recognition technology. Randal Quran Reid filed a lawsuit this month against the Louisiana detective who sought his arrest warrant. Reid, who goes by Quran, says he spent six days in a Georgia jail before officials corrected their mistake. The detective, Andrew Bartholomew, declined to comment. Quran is among at least five Black plaintiffs who have sued law enforcement in recent years alleging they were wrongly arrested on the basis of facial recognition technology. Some states have limited its use as critics say it misidentifies people of color more than white people. Supporters say it's a vital tool.

"I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made. I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people." -- https://cohost.org/hystericempress/post/1731218-reflecting-on-it-th @hystericempress
Posted because I kept seeing this quote posted with the names filed off, so I did a quick google search to find the original so I could share it with full attribution.
I'm getting super-spammed with retoots and faves, so I don't need any more.
Reflecting on it, the reason I think the OceanGate situation has become such a flashpoint for anger is because it's such a perfect microcosm of the problem with everything right now. Decisions are not made based on safety, reasonable caution, or concern for human life. Every decision is instead made from a default assumption of 'what if the bad thing just DIDN'T happen?' We are given pie-in-the-sky promises and sizzle reels and an endless PR hype-cycle for every new innovation and inevitably it fails to work, harms people, and then is maybe barely apologized for before the next bad idea comes down the pike. OceanGate's underengineered, undercooked, doomed submarine isn't merely a metaphor for the hubris of the wealthy, it is a scale model of the way the wealthy dictate our reality. All consequences can be ignored, all blowback can be forestalled, let the end-user eat the cost. I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made. I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people.
