like yeah the guy that made this is a sociopath but also it was gonna happen like that one guy said there’s no monopoly on math. what there is a monopoly on is the power to shape the law and lmao the law has no idea what “data” even is

like in this piece they mention that facebook/etc ban scraping under their terms of service like it’s a good thing. nothing however about how a court just ruled scraping public data is legal And how journalists (prob incl the author) depend on scraping for their work

no mention of how the sf facial rec law actually sucks ass (in first iteration city employees couldn’t use iphones with face id), no discussion of why is facial rec important? what’s personally identifiable about a face but not voice, posture, sequence of actions? it’s all data

nobody knows the answers to any of this and presenting any of the issues as single sided is a disservice. would much rather they cut the attempts to explain machine learning math bc nobody gives a shit abt that and go into the legal issues instead

Thoughts on
@AndrewYang being the only candidate that understands tech and his policy "Data as a property right"? -
not the debate i wanna get into here but yang’s tech policy is dog shit and to even put forward some of the ideas he’s suggesting (property right on data? lmao) shows a deep lack of understanding of the issues

The thing is that it's only using public data. So there's *technically* no difference between the program and a person's capacity. But the practical implications are huge and following the path of China's surveillance.
