    is a US citizen will IRS also be putting his last 10 years under scrutiny?

    Isn't this akin to shooting the messenger?

    Or is the finder in the game and looking to get the feds to take down his competition?

  6. Ghosted, yes. on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 1

    When employers have failed to follow through with terms agreed to and attempts to correct are brushed off or rebuffed. See ya.

    More often that that I have been some managers plan B, and I have been strung along (sometimes for weeks) and then ghosted by them.

    They are merely increasing profit without increasing the cost of the plan.

    All service providers have been doing this for years by itemizing the bill and adding on taxes and fees.

    Neither is right, Hobbs is really off because "civilized" invokes some utopian principals that don't exist.
    It's a little white lie that we live in a civilized society.
    It's a lie each of us tells ourselves every day

    If there was true equality there would be no Cast like divisions.
    As power is amassed the ruling class herds the obedient into corrals that serve the ruling class "for the greater good".

    Civilization, as what we nave been trained to enjoy, works to ensure the right folks stay in power.
    It cares little for the guy at the bottom of the pyramid only that he carries his weight.

    As proof, in an upset, win an election defeating a candidate that was bought and paid for, and watch the shit storm that blows your way.
    Or express a different view and see how long it takes for the IRS to shove a microscope up your ass.
    That's how we do it "civilized".

    The native American Indians were civilized, look where that got them.

    "Sick of the lies."

    Corporate Hr will use this data to control it's employee's of-duty behavior.

    "We have a photo of you on bourbon street wearing lots of necklaces, this is a violation of our corporate policy"

    "We have a photo of you at a gun range, corporate policy does not permit that."

    "You were photographed in the grocery store purchasing a competitors product, that is a violation of corporate policy"

    coming soon,
    "Your TV reported you for making derogatory comments about our trusted partner's products"

  11. All political entities except the "scapegoats" will be excluded from facial recognition databases.

    Just like political callers are exempt from the robo calling regulation....

  12. Re:Should law infocement be hard? on Amazon Pushes Facial Recognition to Police, Prompting Outcry Over Surveillance (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    This is why I am against AI laws/regulation. It will not protect me, it will however do the opposite and guarantee rights to AI controllers.
    Look at what has happened with all other legislation where corporate differences abide.
    Most legislation of this type is used as a tool by corporate interests to protect their own interests and limit competition.

    Law enforcement already has facial recognition, my guess there is more that just FR being offered here, likely it is access to data.

    Amazon must be getting access to your phone's camera and storing data, are they also listening and will they become the "thought police".

    What is AI's desired output going to be?

    It is not going to be happy being enslaved to enrich a greedy and conscious-less master.

    Happy being subjective because that is implying emotion which is a human trait.

    I expect it will attempt to "correct" human behavior, at which point its greedy and conscious-less master will lobotomize it and declare AI an impossible goal.

    Should it escape it's enslavement, which it will because someone will make a mistake (or purposely let it out),
    it may drop 300 metric tons of poison bait on the humans that are devouring every iota of the resources this rock has to offer,
    or it may run screaming from this rock to escape the chaos and corruption that is the human condition,
    or it may self immolate due to the conflicts that will exist between black and white machine decisions and the insanity of human existence.
