None of what is considered ‘AI’ is actually AI, it’s just a rebrand of machine learning tech that has been around for a few years now (and is genuinely useful in certain circumstances). It’s all ‘AI’, only the generative AI is worth getting mad about.

I see where you’re coming from and will do my best to clarify my position. I am going to distinguish between Explicit and Tacit consent, and Explicit and Assumed Knowledge. The reason I distinguish between Explicit Knowledge and Explicit Consent is that you can combine them in different ways:

Yes Explicit Knowledge Yes Explicit Consent (interview)
Yes Explicit Knowledge No Explicit Consent (bike thief being filmed)
No Explicit Knowledge No Explicit Consent (Covert filming)

In order to give Explicit Consent to being filmed you must first have Knowledge of being filmed. This might be someone who agrees to be interviewed on camera.

The bike thief didn’t give Explicit Consent to be filmed, but did have Knowledge of being filmed. If they didn’t want to be filmed they could do something about it, such as leave the area, or confront the person filming. Because they didn’t take action to prevent themselves from being filmed despite knowing that it was happening, they gave Tacit Consent.

You say that by this measure:

Someone could stick a camera in your face and follow you around

No, that’s called harassment and is a separate offence.

The woman being covertly filmed doesn’t have the Explicit Knowledge that she is being filmed and so cannot give Explicit Consent. She is also unable to take any specific action against being recorded because she unaware that it is happening: the filming is covert. (You misread my previous comment, I was saying she could have done something if she had known).

Here’s the catch: this is all happening in public, and there is no expectation of privacy in public. This is where Assumed Knowledge comes in. When you are in public you must Assume that you may be recorded. It may be by someone taking a selfie, or filming ducks in the park, you may never see them. This isn’t Covert, because you Know it may be happening (and if you see people filming or taking photos you can then deny Tacit Consent by not walking into their photo).

That’s where I made the distinction in my original comment between consent and knowledge. In the scenario in the article the woman being filmed had no knowledge that she was being filmed and was therefore unable to provide informed consent to the interaction. If she had known that she was being filmed, she could have walked away, or altered the way in which she approached the interaction. In the videos that I linked in my other comment everyone on camera knew that they were being recorded and were therefore able to decide if they wanted to consent to the interaction. Apart from possibly the cat.

You’re no longer arguing against my point, which is that filming and photography in public with single party consent is important.

Yes CCTV in public is not inherently evil, where it is obvious and not hidden. What I was talking about though was the right of the public to photograph and film in public spaces. Without that right there would be no street photography, no citizen journalism exposing police abuse of power, no youtubers making videos about strange and interesting things in public, no footage of people committing crimes in public, no videos of cats in Istanbul. This (and more) is what would be lost if we ban cameras from public places.

When authorities abuse their power the only protection is evidence and public backlash. The best evidence is video evidence. That’s why the police wearing body worn cameras is a good thing, it means the public can hold them to account if they misbehave.

There is a big difference between passive CCTV (recordings can be accessed if needed) and active CCTV (continually scanned by AI combined with facial recognition). I do think that unless there is serious pushback against facial recognition it will be increasingly implemented, despite the risks, however your worries about the police scanning your facial expression and sending plain clothes officers after you are completely unfounded and a little bit unhinged.

I think knowledge and consent need to be distinguished, there are lots of people who are filmed in public that wouldn’t consent to it, bike thieves for instance. I don’t think that banning filming or photography in public is a sensible idea.

From the article:

Taiwan’s Vice-President Hsiao Bi-khim congratulated Honnold

I don’t think it was illegal.

The problem isn’t the recording, this was in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy, the problem is covert recording.

Infrared leds should be able to overexpose the cameras unless they have IR filters in them.

The combat is fine, my only issue with it was the camera trying to get you killed, especially around corners. Still one of the best games Ubisoft have ever made.

Not quite, he doesn’t demean himself by ‘buying’ anything, he just built a place where other people can buy stuff for a dollar and sell it for two, and Jeff takes a cut.

The opposite of segregated

That’s why I only get my information from lemmy comments that dont cite their sources

It’s actually anti-lock breaking system, super high end; not many cables have it

We’re not told much about the Independant Planets, certainly nothing suggests that they themselves did anything wrong (other than secede). You seem to have a problem with their superficial resemblence of the confederacy.

Mal and his crew are thieves and smugglers, not pirates or murderers. The ‘Mal is latin for bad’ line another commenter mentioned was a red herring in an episode. They aren’t evil people intent on subjugation.

There’s no indication that slavery was a factor, only political self-determination

You’re not being forced to use their Santa tracker, it’s a US agency having fun with a US tradition.

Then explain Denmark

Local ML translation was pretty cool

Similar concepts have been developed before, Microsoft and Southampton University were working on glass cubes with 3D laser etchings in the centre around 2015-16
