    Do you think committing a crime is the only time this matters?

      Not too long ago Texas was trying to charge parents of trans youths with child abuse.

      No, also probably when the AI pattern matches your behavior to a criminal’s behavior because you live in the same neighborhood.

      Again I’m not saying this isn’t bad, I’m saying Texas has no idea what they bought or how to use it. The only practical way to use it is the way the feds do, and if they try the AI shit it will likely fuck them legally speaking at the federal level OR orange Julius wins and the NSA starts just giving this shit to Texas, so this will all be moot.

        I don’t think you have any idea what you’re talking about. This is exactly the kind of thing AI is good at, pattern recognition.

    Correlation is not causation. This only indicates a person is in the general area [during a crime] and not that they perpetrated it. People go to jail, wrongfully, with less evidence than this.

      they’re not going to use it as evidence in an arrest, they are going to use it to target social dissidents, which in Texas’s case, is everyone who isn’t a fascist.

      They know they can’t use it as evidence, but they also know ten thousand other cruel and vicious things they can get away with.
