Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

You talk like the whole Problem doesn't already start with a AI Camera filming you the entire time in your face. Modern Cars already sell a lot of data about you. Much more then you expect a car to know about you. Yea give them my facedata and a Videofeed of me... great idea...
We don't even need to talk about how these signals can spook someone. Such cameras should not be in the car in the first place
The law mandates that data processing must happen locally.
That said, fuck these new systems.
Does it mandate that no other data processing can happen while sending it somewhere else?
To be fair... Currently the law also states that the data processing needs to happen locally and no data may leave the car. The new law certainly introduces potential for abuse, especially since auto makers have proven themselves in recent years to be willing to break laws if it benefits them (Dieselgate anyone?). But as of now your fears are mostly unfounded.
No, my point is exactly AI's fallability and the implications of too fallible systems being implemented in conjunction with those systems uploading every data.
Sorry for thinking other people would be smart enough to pick that up.
No need to passive aggressively call me dumb.
All I'm saying is that the problem already starts way sooner. Even without AI. And even if the AI would be perfect and would make no mistakes, these cameras should not be there in the first place. If you putting your focus on AIs fallibility, you implicate that an good AI would be no problem stalking you 24/7. And yes. I know that you probably don't mean it like that. You probably also have a problem with a camera stalking you in the first place. That's why I said "you talk like". We are probably on the same site and have the same opinion, and I thought so too when I wrote my comment. Just thought that's important to add. But hey, everyone else then you is a dumb idiot! Really nice to insult people that aren't even against you!
Have a nice day.
