It’s so tragic that these horrible, horrible groups have held back
the introduction of really awful, extremely impactful and (bordering on)
actively malicious technologies, if not for them we would have fully
automated racisms by now!
(im also not convinced we actually succeeded in holding it back all
that much, although it sure is nice to believe we did)
A group I've been working with has managed to get our city council (for a fairly large city) to vote on restrictions on (local) government surveillance this year. Other cities have been doing great work as well, including:
* Oakland (with a similar set of restrictions)
* SF, Boston, Portland (and maybe seattle?), with facial recognition bans (Portland's even bans *private* usage of facial recognition in public spaces)
Honestly things are trending in a pretty exciting direction right now. While many of the pushes to defund the police ended up failing, public opinion is in a MUCH more favorable place than it has been in the past.
They got racist nanites to do their bidding. The left never saw it coming and to this very day the nanites roam freely under their radar.
Sucks to be a no-good, trouble-making BLMinion in America.
The real tragedy, IMO, is that we’ve given up on mass incarceration.
It is a proven method to lift the plague of crime from the lives of
innocents, and the burdens fall entirely on the guilty.
Tell you what, how about we _actually_ try giving up mass incarceration for a few years and see how that goes, and then maybe we can revisit this idea?
remember when they found out that facial recognition software used by
hundreds of police departments didn’t work at all and was run by a bunch
of nazis?

Yes, this is the selling point to them and why they want it.
I once met a rich guy that cops punched and arrested because he
interfered with the arrest of his drunk and disorderly friend. He whined
about how he thought the cops were supposed to be the good guys, and
didn’t understand how he could be arrested because he
didn’t do anything wrong, and his predicament was an obvious,
grievous mistake and how could he possibly be locked up with the
rest of those real criminals? etc
I lol about it every once in a while, but I feel like that person was
the archetypal r/TheMotte poster before the subreddit existed. Reality
could literally slap them across the face and they still wouldn’t get
it.
The left has forestalled the development of that device from Black
Mirror that duplicates your consciousness so you can be tortured forever
inside a simulation. And other helpful technologies as well

Hell of a country
Wait, this wasn’t another Sneerclub troll? Huh, maybe that subreddit really is full of racist authoritarians after all. What a world, right?
Hey guys, here’s pseudocode of what I believe should be a fairly effective pre-crime algorithm:
def will_do_crime(user): IF user posts on /r/the_motte: return True
I am not taking further questions.
“gait analysis” lololololololololol

I thought these guys were supposed to be fans of science fiction? Or maybe they think the world of Flow My Tears is aspirational…

Someone’s been reading Samuel Thomas?
Oh no.

Don’t threaten me with a good time
Based if true
This makes me like BLM and think it is based.
Everytime I click through these comments are upvoted. What a sad, sad subreddit (which will probably be shut down after one of them goes postal)
Useful to whom for what?
