Tory voters say they prefer Tory government. There’s the real headline.

And I don’t mean to denigrate data science. It is important and powerful. And real machine intelligence may one day emerge from it (or data science may one day point the way). But data science just isn’t AI.

This is because the AI of today is a shit sandwich that we’re being told is peanut butter and jelly.

For those who like to party: All the current “AI” technologies use statistics to approximate semantics. They can’t just be semantic, because we don’t know how meaning works or what gives rise to it. So the public is put off because they have an intuitive sense of the ruse.

As long as the mechanics of meaning remain a mystery, “AI” will be parlor tricks.

I’m going to need to see your passport to prove you’re not American. Otherwise fines may be assessed.

Yet that’s several times the rate in comparably sized areas in Europe.

I would be interested in learning what people find objectionable about my comments, if anyone would care to share.

Yes the developer sees it, and also the data brokers they sell all their user data to see it, aggregate it, and corollate it. Not to mention whatever Microsoft does with it.

Breaking News: Mexico unveils space laser technology

Holy shit. I had no idea it was that bad in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and New Mexico.

My main point is that “observability” tools like Clarity are screen grabbing whole Web sessions and have been for some time.

This has already been happening on the Web for quite some time. For example Microsoft Clarity records everything you do on those dodgy Web sites you visit. And they assign a universal identifier to you that can be correlated with the IDs Google and your device have already created and broadcast to profile you.

And you think “oh but I use x, y, and z to prevent tracking”. Guess what: They make your browser do nonsense tasks in the background to benchmark your hardware and then assign a UUID to you based on that.

The only thing that can help this situation is privacy legislation with real teeth.

Mexican government data shows that at least 102,400 homicides have been reported in that period

Holy shit. I had no idea it was that bad.

What is it like to live in a place with privacy legislation? Here we must sell our healthcare data for food, and sell our food for healthcare.

Release them! Release them! 👏👏👏

Because their plan A of flooding the public discourse with stories about how we’ll all die if we don’t “return to office” has failed.

Here’s a non-MSN link:

To clarify: I’m not opposed to the concept of MDM, but the available solutions for implementing it are garbage. The MDM agent is one of the first things a nation state attacker goes after because it’s ubiquitous and usually worse code than the OS itself.

I remember back in my teenage days, I tried to track some menstruations. It didn’t end well.

MDM is a scourge upon the earth
