I mean, yeah.

The west did too much evil and not enough good, that’s how that works sometimes.

Blood splatter analysis and dna are two entirely different things though.

Unfortunately, at the time of the raid, our admin was troubleshooting an issue and working with a backup copy of the Kolektiva.social database. This backup, dated from the first week of May 2023, was in an unencrypted state when the raid occurred and it was seized, along with everything else.

The database is the heart of a Mastodon server. A database copy such as the one seized may include any of the following user data, in this case up to date as of early May 2023:

– User account information like the e-mail address associated with your account, your followers and follows, etc. – All your posts: public, unlisted, followers-only, and direct (“DMs”). – Possibly IP addresses associated with your account – IP addresses on Kolektiva.social are logged for 3 days and then deleted, so IP addresses from any logins in the 3 days prior to the database backup date would be included. – A hashed (“encrypted”) version of your password.

In case you thought you were safer doing any illegal stuff here, yikes.

Really cool tech, I wonder if law enforcement could use it to detect a range of time someone has been at the scene of a crime based on the concentration of dna found. Could really help solve some crimes when you’ve got no leads.

Just big oil doing the same thing it’s always done.

In the first few minutes of gameplay they make a Snakes on a Plane reference, because of course.

Compress a large percentage of the world’s wealth into a small fraction of the population and suddenly 150k dollars a year, to potentially more based on the danger, seems worth it to some people.

And thank god for that, because it helped me find my lost AirPods when I wasn’t quite sure where I left them out and about.

Honestly this app sounds almost too good to be true, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it anyways just in case.

So literally every one of these technology communities exists just to spread FUD and hate on technology? I can’t find a single one that actually likes tech…ugh.

Feel like you should post this stuff in the Luddite community, not the technology community.

Meanwhile I just wear the same pair of shoes for ten years or so until it starts to get holes in the toes, then get extreme anxiety at the thought of trying to find a new, suitable replacement.

It’s not the point. You guys are discussing pipe dreams and impossible scenarios. I’m just trying to be pragmatic about what’s happening.

Did you miss the part in the article about this tech being run by private companies? Or how it’s so seamless it can be installed on ANY existing camera system? No upgrades to hardware required.

This surveillance genie is already out of the bottle so just hoping it will go away or be made suddenly illegal in a country that has had a hard-on for surveillance on its own people since at least 9/11 is foolish.

So the best we can do is hope for proper laws regulating and controlling it, so it doesn’t turn into all of those evil things everyone always wants to jump to first.

Because ACAB, but recognize that police work is also one of the areas that could really benefit from AI technology, they are constantly flooded with information from all sorts of sources and it leads to ridiculous backlogs that actually affect society.

So yeah, this tech, like all tech, has the potential to do great harm to society if not reigned in, but it also has the potential to help find your child after they’ve been abducted, or locate your wife or mom after someone has attacked them.

It could do legitimate good in society, too, if used correctly.

I guess that will be up to the courts to decide, not us.

Wait until you grow up a bit and learn about probable cause, or people getting pulled over for nothing. This tech changes nothing about your idea of “innocent until proven guilty” vs what actually happens on the daily.

Sounds like oversight, transparency, and regulation are in order. There's no putting this genie back in the bottle, unfortunately.

McDonalds and White Castle have already begun using ALPR to tailor drive-through experiences, detecting returning customers and using past orders to guide them through the ordering process

Yeah you're right, helping people order lunch is literally 1984.

Worry, what...that you'll get pulled over for suspicions while being innocent, and then the cops would be forced to find out you're innocent?

Yeah I can see that being inconvenient to downright dangerous depending on the cop, personally I think it has the potential to do more good than bad.

It's just a shame the police have such a hard on for drugs when there's so much worse stuff going on out there.

Hyperbole.

Oh no, the A.I. identified someone as a drug trafficker, and the police pulled that person over on suspicion of being a drug trafficker, and found out that he was indeed a drug trafficker, and now he's upset he got caught by a robot dragnet.

I don't think drugs should be criminalized, but are we supposed to be upset that A.I. is going to finally help parse data and solve crimes?
