US with new technology:

To help fight human trafficking? No

To help find abducted children? No

To catch “illegal” brown kids trying to go to school? Hell yeah!

You just know they're training the AI on people who never had a choice to say no and at the end of the day many of those same people are going to end up being trafficked by ICE or some individual agent anyway. Theres a reason they under report how many people are in their custody.

Engineer: I created new technology that can make us rich beyond our wildest dreams because of the number of people it'll benefit!

Billionaires: Let's tweak that a little. I'd rather decide who has to be poor

Fuck that

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

Yes. Fuck that.

No fucking way that could go wrong. Not a fucking chance.

What do you mean go wrong?

All of the "consequences" that would arise from a program like this, are intentional.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Even with ALL prior evidence saying it will crash and burn horribly

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago

A clue: don’t

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Thats a hard pass on the child stalker bots.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

there's no valid reason to support this except some dystopian ass shit

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 4 points 10 months ago

Instead of doing this creepy shit, why not make the immigration process easier?

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 3 points 10 months ago

Google Photos is pretty good at this. My cousin showed me that putting in past pictures of her kids, it tell which one is which. It was creepy how good it was.

It's for those dastardly illegal aliens right now. But about 10 minutes after it's put into action it'll be for everyone. Citizen or not.
