who’s willing to bet this AI will mysteriously label nonwhite people as suspicious more often?

Israel-based Corsight AI

of course.

Dystopian hostility will be enforced! Don’t you dare be nice or show any preference with other humans.

Having a shitty day, but you don’t want to take it out on the wage slave behind the counter? What are you hiding?

I think it’s because a corporation doesn’t understand the concept of why you wouldn’t exploit a vulnerable person.

I swear so many of our problems stem from this. The types of personalities required to reach high level decision making positions within vast organizations strongly trend towards psychopathy.

Reminds me of the guide book we had in the army, for the company duty officer. (Which is only a title, it’s never done by actual officers but by privates and perhaps corporals, just busy work essentially journaling who comes and goes.)

The was a part on “how to recognise drug users” then the vaguest shit imaginable like eating lots of candy and being pleasant to people, something along those lines.

In a past life I had to deal with cops on a regular basis, and now and then they’ll describe themselves as someone who can recognize criminals by just looking at them.

One said: “If I see someone who is avoiding looking at me, I know that he doesn’t want my attention, so he probably has something to hide.”

On a different day, a different cop said: “When I see someone that’s looking at me, that’s because they are worried I’m gonna find out something, so probably they have something to hide.”

I learned that cops have two main traits: They are overconfident and under-prepared.

That was actually in a training guide for traffic stops from one of those Killology-type courses thousands of cops take every year. John Oliver talks about it on his Traffic Stops episode.

But yeah, they teach cops that making eye contact or not is a sign of guilt, as well as driving under/over the speed limit being an indicator of guilt, but also, believe it or not, driving the speed limit… Also an indicator of guilt.

Yeah, good cop is “When I see someone — probably they have something to hide.” Also, it’s not a good kind of good, that’s why I don’t want to deal with cops even when I’ve nothing to worry about, they can always come up with a reason for me to worry

As a former addict with tons of addict friends, the candy part is spot on. Not sure why but addicts consume a lot of candy

Well, as someone who pretty much always returned to the army drunk and high, I can’t say it’s wrong.

However, do you know who else consumes a lot of candy? 20-year old kids stuck in the army doing physically demanding shit all the time.

Quite a lot of my life I’ve hung around weed smokers and other addicts as well. The amount of candy consumed in the army was significantly higher in my opinion.

People doing lots of drugs are probably trying to escape from something or otherwise self-medicate without realizing it (unless they’re “psychonauts”, and even then, they might still be running from something). I dunno about you, but eating candy makes me feel good (yanno, until it doesn’t). Makes the pain go away.

Just something I’ve been thinking about after recently discovering the “trans people love weed” stereotype. As a trans person who loves weed, why? Well, it’s less dangerous than heroin or alcohol but still numbs the existential pain of being trapped in a body that doesn’t feel like it fits. I figure most people who consume drugs habitually probably do the same.

Very much this. I eat sweets mostly not because I like the taste, although sometimes it is, but because it helps feel somewhat better when everything is depressing

These AI company cunts need to be put down, fast. There’s good uses for AI but the idiots in charge of it now are gonna enable tyranny at sci-fi levels.

Alternatively, you might be due for a huge payday in the form of an anti-discrimination suit.
