Fair point. It’s so sad to think about artists being poor to start with :-/

The things with AI is that it has yet to come for the poors…

That’s what makes us humans at least…

In Europe we have the AI act which, as of August, will introduce some form of transparency obligations. Not perfect obviously but a start. Probably will not be followed by the rest of the world though so like GDPR it will be forcibly eroded by other’s interests through lobbying but at least we try.

Uh? It’s a bit less generic than that… some activities of governments are excluded from the scope but not all data processing from government agencies are.

For example this particular personal data processing likely fits under the prevention of criminal offences and threats to public security and is highly unfortunate but let’s keep shit factual.

There’s nothing of the sort in OP’s post. Maybe you have such a use-case?

Also it’s literally implemented where I am from and the government isn’t the worse party yet for us.

Private from the service side, not from the trust provider obviously.

It works well enough across Europe with many of such systems being compatible enough for things like petitions at EU level.

Not perfect but much faster than the notary system… and way cheaper as well if your notaries are the same as mine.

I’m not advocating blind trust. Nor being too trusty. The specific point here is service access with need of proof of age.

The threat I was addressing in this instance is the service provider not the trust provider.

Other patterns apply for scenarios in which government is a threat a well.

Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

In Belgium we have « it’s me » which is government - backed.

Based on configuration you can integrate a service with it and, if the service is respectful and not greedy, you can get a flag indicating majority of a person without the full PII.

The user sees on its screen what data will be provided to the service.

So it’s rather transparent and honestly not bad from a privacy perspective.

Personally I’m fan of ROA.

Now from being involved on providing said right to our beloved customers I have to say that weaponizing gdpr is definitely happening and that’s… not cool. And the weapon isn’t always aimed at said company : something it might be aimed at past love interests or worse I would imagine.

Still I believe the benefits outweigh the risks.

Heyyyyy at least they failed fast :)

Jokes on Reddit censorship aside the post is seemingly solid. Facts are making sense. This kind of transparency exercise would do a lot of good if done of other legislative initiatives. Though I don’t see any call to action and not much would be actionable anyway, it’s all beyond the reach of peasants.

Ahhahahah the link in the Reddit post has been locked pending validation xD

True for hackers… Somehow it started my career… but snow crash feels a bit like Uber-gig which isn’t what I would look forward to.

As a 80s kid I don’t recall being hyped. If anything all sci-fi books were warnings for us. Younger generations embraced the black mirror shit thought.

It’s strangely mid. I was kind of expecting something much more worse.

He found his way inside the derelict plane and filmed his incursion. Kind of urbex but on a plane.

Nha boomers are not the cause for this shit. Smart ass marketeers and tech bro pushing for more precise target identification and thus more reach for them are to blame. And those I stumble upon are definitely on the younger side.

Nice :)
