    Not a drill. One of the largest babysitter sites will pilot folding "AI" ratings based on social media scans "into the site’s current array of sitter screenings." China is explicitly building AI social control tools. We're drifting via business model.🤷‍♀️ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/11/16/wanted-perfect-babysitter-must-pass-ai-scan-respect-attitude/?utm_term=.139c58eabddc …pic.twitter.com/MsLuKNvV2L

        Yep, this is what's happening. Big transition.

        Of course, human hiring is far from perfect. But this is like willy-nilly introducing a cat to an ecosystem without one to control some other pest. Problems if it works, Problems if it doesn't—and inability to tell which is which (since much of this is ML) is a core issue.

        If we store this much data on everyone, there will be a proliferation of uses. Some will sound reasonable. They will be competing with faulty legacy systems. They'll spread. And we'll have a social transformation with wide-reaching impacts we never consented to.

        In Holland banks are scanning social media of potential money borrowers. And the Chinese are investing here in Europe.

        As long as they stick to Myers Briggs (rather than valid personality tests) we could be fine.

        Trouble is it's not that simple. We will be led by a beautiful diamond studded gold leash into controlling ourselves for the benefit of the elite.
