Omnipresent super-soakers full of paint will ensure they wont.

One of those spray paint cans on a stick they use to paint lines on the ground

we should test edge cases to ensure safety, let's shove one down this guys' throat

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Why don't you volunteer to be the test case Larry?

You want a dystopia? Because that's how you get a dystopia.

They do, one with them at the top

The fascists think they die happy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah but what is "good" behaviour?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

What if we just get the AI cameras to “hallucinate” our good behaviour?

1984 was not a manual

Like person of interest?

Oh for fucks sake can we please stop putting AI everywhere

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

they put that shit into water bottles... water bottles! Like they have a water bottle that can be synched to your phone and it's % shown on screen and it changes color at set intervals to remind you to drink. Like for fucks sake dude!

If it results in innocent people in LA not getting fucking stabbed trying to ride the metro, it'll be good.

Otherwise this is just another fat government contract waiting for a tech bro to get their hands on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

The LA metro? Like, theres a passenger/commuter train in LA?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They will ensure a lot of smashed up AI cameras that's for sure

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

While wearing a mask that'll fool AI on top of a ski mask beneath it.

Don’t try to anthropomorphize Larry Ellison.

Billionaire wants a totalitarian state, who’s surprised?

Well how else is he going to fortify his ridiculous amount of wealth from the unwashed masses?

When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:

Or a red light traffic ticket when your car was stolen:

And the police/courts won't help you because it's a problem from the private company running the cameras... I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.

A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).

Even then, I'd rather cameras not be used in this way at all.

I’ll just base my conduct on Larry Ellison’s actions instead. As he is championing constant surveillance, he is surely the most virtuous of us all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Fuck Larry Ellison.

Now he's going for super-villainy against people who've never even heard of Oracle.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

If he really believed that he wouldn’t live in a gated castle.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Maybe I'm an outlier, but omnipresent AI cameras would ensure bad behavior in my case.
