Re: AI is fundamentally ‘a surveillance technology’
#4Ironic opening line from a website whose full screen banner is desperately trying to convince me that the tracking cookies they don't strictly need are of any benefit to me.
> Why is it that so many companies that rely on monetizing the data of their users seem to be extremely hot on AI?
Re: AI is fundamentally ‘a surveillance technology’
#5Does anybody know of a facial recognition AI that actually classifies faces as (non)-liars as she claims?
Not sure about this take. You need data at the end of the day, to build good AI models.
These days it feels like anyone's public takes are more or less just a means to promote their own cause.
And I say this as a happy and long-time Signal user.

#8This isn’t novel. So is the Internet itself.
How do we protect against the downsides? Do we need a privacy bill of rights? I say yes.

AOL keyword "deception analysis"
There's no science behind it but that never stopped someone from selling software to the police, high tech polygraphs are probably out there. Closest thing I've found in production is more "nervous person recognition" used at airports for triggering secondary screening:
>> the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) seeks to improve DHS’s ability to quickly and objectively screen individuals for malintent. FAST combines cutting-edge behavioral and physiological science with deception detection theory and state-of-the-art sensor technologies. [0]
I don't think her hot take is mere self-promotion, but rejection that building "good models" is necessary or helpful to average people, maybe there's some benefits but it increases the power of the state more than the individual (old debate in computing)

#10This is a bit too much of a stretch. It's like saying that newspapers are fundamentally a gossip technology.
