TLDR:

In 2018, a man in a baseball cap stole thousands of dollars worth of watches from a store in central Detroit.

The AI was trained on a database of mostly white people The photos of people of colour in the dataset were generally of worse quality, as default camera settings are often not optimised to capture darker skin tones.

Mr Williams’ photo didn’t come up first. In fact, it was the ninth-most-probable match.

Regardless…

Officers drove to Mr Williams’ house and handcuffed him.

They arrested him in front of his five and two-year-old kids…

Ai with bad training data + lazy cops who didn’t learn how to use the tools they were given = this mess

Doubt it. It’s more likely that the video you’re trying to share had a weird codec or an exotic format. If you recode it in another format, you’ll be able to share it. You could try this using any video editing software.

Something you may have not noticed about AppOps is that you can use it to give fake permissions to the apps so they think that they have a permission but when they try to actually use that permission they don’t get any data from the API.

I personally think that the added attack-surface is worth it for the functionality it provides.

Isn’t that a violation of GDPR? Lol

You missed about 95% of the story.

It’s been uncovered that there is rampant abuse of the facial recognition system with people using non-traceable users to access the system, and many politicians and journalists having their biometric data looked up for seemingly no reason.

Forensics have also determined that lots of records have been deleted, and that in many instances (over 300) someone has attempted to delete the proof that the deletion even happened.

Just a few hours before the publication of this article, Rodríguez’s office confirmed that the biometric data of the author of this story and the photographer are among the data requested by the City of Buenos Aires. In our interview, the former minister stated that all data requests are traceable—and that all requests can be explained. The query to find out if this is true is underway.

Holy shit

This might be way off, but iirc OpenBSD is pretty secure
