If your prayers demand you be a bigoted anti trans piece of trash it's time you rethought your diety. Any maximally good diety would be judging your hatefulness, so you are praying your God will strike you down, or you are praying to a hateful petty god.

I really enjoyed the last conversation I had with a Christian about this topic... He did not.

Can't wait for the wave of people kicked out of stores because the AI shit the bed and confused them with someone else.

I just think the key to doing this stuff right is to make the executive level personally and financially responsible for any mistakes and any crimes, "Oh Coles shared too much info offshore and led to a data leak with identity theft... Hope the board enjoys spending the next 4 years in general population." Oh and time to sell the yacht and the mansion to pay the fine.

Apparently they get paid the big dollars because they make the big calls, time for them to face the big risks too. That would keep the bastards honest.

Of course it will never happen, we like corruption in government way too much to make rich people face consequences.

It all used to be very easy in Australia, you bought the phone at a supermarket and gave bogus info when registering the SIM. Then the "War on Terror™" began and the government started taking things a bit more seriously started mandating the paper registration forms needed to be completed or the retailers could get in trouble. But your average supermarket worker wasn't going to take the time to do that and it was way too widespread for the government to actually crack down on it.

Took a few years but the Telcos started actually paying attention to the fact that the majority of prepaid phones weren't getting completed paperwork at point of sale so they just moved to make all sim card activations require online or over the phone ID checks.

Every bit of training I ever did made it clear it was all about catching terrorists, drug dealers and paedophiles, which of course means "We want all that juicy data without citizens asking any annoying questions."

My fault, I missed the "Stop AI" at the end.

He is right, accelerating climate change, wealth disparity and economic collapse is likely going to unite a lot of us, probably not the way he suspects though.

It is a really good filter for me, any company that wants to harvest the bogus information I will use to access them had better do a good job of convincing me it's worth the effort.

I have a similar take on online stores wanting me to create a login to get a shipping cost, unless they are offering a truly unique item, or outrageously good price I just don't buy anything from them.

If we all had a similar standards these bits of UX fuckery would disappear over time, unfortunately most people don't even think about it.

Guessing that would be They Live. Haven't actually watched it myself but cultural osmosis being what it is... Anyway here is some more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live

Well how many people on Death Row are handing out juicy consultant work when he gets sick of being in local politics (or gets kicked out)?

So start making the penalty for data breaches executive fingers. It will really bring home the importance of getting it right.

Plus there are more than a few companies that will have to work out how to get signatures from people who have lost all of their digits within weeks of that rule being put in place.

As things stand you have together caught breaking privacy laws, then you have to be unlucky enough to get properly investigated, then you need to be even more unlucky to actually get fined, and truly monumentally unlucky enough to not be able to tie things up in court long enough for the consequences to hit faster than the golden parachute can open.

Fines are just a cost of doing business and there's so many avenues for "accidentally" having data leak after all.

Oh god, I pretty savagely bit the very back of my younger last night somehow. Its kinda horrible looking and hurts when I swallow. I bet these would fix me right up, if only we lived in more enlightened times.
