Sometimes I get a really good quote in.
“Pointing out that AI is prone to giving ICE bad information is missing the entire point of ICE,” EFF’s Eva Galperin told Rolling Stone. “They don’t care if the information they have is good.”

@evacide a point I was hoping to see in this article is that randomness—maybe slightly skewed towards a target—is an effective instrument of terror. It's not just that they don't care and are happy to invent pretexts after the fact, but systems like what they are building, which may result in targeting anyone, serve their purpose *better* than accurate systems that don't make mistakes.

Thus weaponising ‘sloppy’ work.😐
Quality work takes time to achieve low error rates; ‘just good enough’ takes less time but has higher error; ‘sloppy’ takes even less time but has the highest error rates… introducing a sort of fast random error terror… or should that be random terror error?🤔
Unless the error is the point it’s a giant waste of time & money… for a civilised society, that is. ☹️

AI as a pretext for doing fascism is basically seems to be most of the point of AI 😟

As long as the software tells them they can deport a brown or black person, it's "working"
