If there ever was an example of Pandora’s box, AI is it.

Remember that woman who was arrested because her phone indicated she was at a house that was burgled at exactly that time? Police just do a dragnet. Turns out she just drove by the house as it was happening.
In the above example, imagine someone did an anti Israel terror attack in the area. Everyone mentioning such things will be found via dragnet searches and who knows if you just happen to have been nearby when it happened while also making suspicios SMS messages.
Dragnets are profoundly likely to catch innocent people. Protect yourself from them however you can. That should be in everyone’s threat model.

3·18 days agoIt would only be parasitic if a round table was forced to be square against its desires. If a table wants to be square, the corners are being helpful.

AI has plenty of good uses. It’s not all negative. But, I think the negatives probably outweigh the positives. So much slop.
