@escuintle , not Roko's Basilisk, but....

@catweazle It is not so scary. Just computers fine-tuning equations and algorithms on their own. Much of it can be done at home.
-
@code3 , that is what most scares me
-
@catweazle Freedom! Independence!
It’s wouldn’t be as scary if you knew more about it. It’s not like machines magically become human. It does make more accurate video recordings, of course it can be used for bad stuff. -
@code3 , recognize all the data of everyone which is seen by the camara IS bad stuff by definition, worse if it is used by private persons.
-
@catweazle Ok, but someone’s going to do it. Then we just need to not use cameras. We should never use them unless they are absolutely necessary in the first place. When they are absolutely necessary, perhaps AI can help.
-
@code3 , shure, but not in this manner. Facial recognition is only admissible on certain occasions for a specific person. That is, to search in a crowd for a criminal, whose photo is entered into the system by court order.
If you want online privacy, even more so in real life, for something in Google Street View all the license plates of the cars and the faces of the people are blurred by default by the legislative requirements and for the same reason the Google Glasses for the Police use.
Widespread facial recognition is not only an intrusion into privacy, but a dangerous risk factor for the persons. more than in the internet. -
@catweazle Ok.
Facial Recognition is bad for privacy.
But it will be done.
It doesn’t actually collect any new data, just improves the analysis of collected data.
If you think the analysis contains sensitive information, protest the collection of data, not the analysis of it.
What we can do is make sure that cameras are not all over the place and that governments do not have large datasets of our faces. We should write to representatives to make sure laws are enacted to enforce this.
-
@code3 , yes, and surely the companies because of this are going to have regrets and stop using it, for sure.
For this reason they have also stopped tracking your activity on the network, 'Your privacy is very important to us' they always say, before putting 3 pages below that explain the exceptions.
Anyway this scares me more than Roko's Basilisk, which is still a mere thought experiment, this is nevertheless very real and why having the webcam covered with electrical tape is not necessarily paranoid, not so long ago, Facebook had access to Camera and smartphone microphone, without authorization from the user, who has already authorized it without knowing it in the TOS of 20 pages when creating the account. -
@catweazle said in Qué tranza! I'm new...:
Your privacy is very important to us
well they do say that it's important for them to know what is priate for you, don't they?
-
@wildente , rather I believe that my private life is very important for the uses that they can make of it.
