An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance.
So now they’re worried about surveillance? Spy on the entire population and it’s fine, but hold a cop accountable and all of a sudden surveillance is a “political concern”.
Wait till you hear about flock cameras
Heard about them the other day thanks to Benn Jordan.
So, this leads me to believe that our politicians are getting blackmailed all over the place, not to mention bribed. I do wish he would make his own security cameras like nest or ring, I would buy that shit in a heartbeat.
I’m starting to think this is a worldwide issue and we are slowly reaching the climax of global society. Governments and US politicians caving to Trump, the slow adoption of authoritarian laws, the increase of mass surveillance around the world, governments denying genocide when they see it, politicians ignoring the public, and so many more issues. I feel like every world leader has blackmail on every other world leader and we are just waiting to see who gets exposed first. And when that does happen, I expect a domino effect of things akin to the Epstein files being exposed as every world leader gets their dirty secrets leaked one after the other.
I think the blackmail theory may be overly charitable. Maybe we’re just surrounded by billionaires and politicians who really believe in authoritarian fascism.
Yep. This is it. There is definitely blackmail occurring at some scale, and mass surveillance is definitely being used to conduct a lot of political corruption and espionage, but the overarching theme is that the winners of capitalism are no different to the kings and queens of history, and are using their capital to seize the means of democracy, returning the majority to dictatorships of feudalist servitude, and they haven’t even been quiet about their psychopathy or megalomania.
I don’t think blackmail is needed. These are ambitious people who won’t let anything get in the way of thier success. To them, ignoring genocide is just a way to curry favor. (That can’t be the right curry, can it?)
Thanks. I hate it.

Finally, a useful application of AI 😝
Whelp now they’re going to let the AI bubble burst
“This tool supports law enforment by verifying that masked individuals commiting crimes while refusing to identify themselves are actual ICE agents rather than just imposters.”
ICE agents “don’t deserve to be hunted online by activists using AI,” said Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who chairs the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on border management and the federal workforce.
Get wrecked, James.
ETA: James, WHAT COUNTRY DOES OKLAHOMA BORDER?
Shut the fuck up.
Washington CAN do something about it. Remove the masks. The more they mask up, the more people should as well.
I mean they are the ones that wanted no guardrails on AI. They want all the benefits but none of the downsides and I’m sure they’ll prove that in the next couple weeks.
Pretty typical “the answer is no” to a click bait title that asks a question.

This is very awesome and a GREAT use of AI.
I remember learning a great word years ago when various tools were being considered/used to monitor the so-called “authorities” like cops and so on, and it’s:
sousveillance

And this is a perfect example of it.
Sure they can: they can order the ICE domestic terrorists to go unmasked - no way to unmask them with AI.
And while they’re at it, they can make them wear pseudonymous identifiers.
In a law and order state (by meaning and not only name) this would be a given. The difference from it tells a lot.Yes, yes they can.
They can eat a bag of dicks.
Fucking proud boys.
