Wear a face mask in public. Got it.
Your gait I think is more useful than your face is anyways and my understanding is it's my difficult to disguise. So you'll need a wheel chair/scooter and a mask in public.

Did you mean Vietnamese supremacist?
Nope. I meant white supremacist [1]. Notice I didn't say smart white supremacist. [1] https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5e8cc7922300005600169bd...
They hired weev? Can you point out to where he founded or worked for the company?

#103There are certain people who believe that average citizens can be held responsible for the actions of their government, to the point that they are valid military targets. Well, if that's true then employees of the companies that build the tools for all this to happen can also be held responsible, no? I'm actually an optimist and believe there will come a time whena whole lot of people will deny ever working for Palan…

Yeah we typically call those people terrorists or war criminals.

I subscribe to keep the reporting going. Journalism costs money. Most Americans don’t pay for news and don’t think they need to - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46982633 - February 2026 (ProPublica, 404media, APM Marketplace, Associated Press, Vox, Block Club Chicago, Climate Town, Tampa Bay Times, etc get my journalism dollars as well)
Are we the same person?
I subbed to Wired last year during a sale and uh... I was never given a premium account linked to my email and support would never answer me. I signed up for the print edition as well and never received any of those. I was getting their newsletter though and that was new. Then I emailed to cancel when I got a billing notification to my email and they were able to cancel it just fine so apparently I did have an account? And then like two weeks ago I received the latest print edition.
Truly have no idea what that was about, but anyway glad to see someone else out here supporting almost all the same news orgs as me (404media is amazing!)

That's why it doesn't make sense to ban governments from doing things while still allowing private companies. Either it is illegal to surveil the public for everyone, or the government can always do it indirectly with the same effect. I don't think the deal described here is even that egregious. It's basically a labeled data scrape. Any entity capable of training these LLMs are able to do this.
The difference is that a government can take personal liberty away from people in the most direct way. A private company can't decide to lock somebody away in prison or send them to death row. (Hopefully anyway.) So we put a higher standard on government. That said, I do believe there ought to be more restrictions on private use of these technologies.
Uh, the government can pay the private company for the data so they can lock those people up.

"Hey man, doctor's orders. Gotta wear it to get allergy relief. And no, can't ask about it... HIPAA stuff."
It is not a good idea to lie to an employee of the USA. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001
Who said it's a lie? It's also not a good idea to operate a police state.

If you have not yet heard of it, look into gait recognition. Any battle for anonymity is a losing one, it appears.
In that case, guess it's time to start thinking of ways to make it unappealing to act upon the intelligence they've gathered upon us.
