That wasn’t much of a pay wall.

Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’ Kenneth Niemeyer Sep 15, 2024, 10:06 AM MDT

Walking down a suburban neighborhood street already feels like a Ring doorbell panopticon.

But this is only the start of our surveillance dystopia, according to Larry Ellison, the billionaire cofounder of Oracle. He said AI will usher in a new era of surveillance that he gleefully said will ensure “citizens will be on their best behavior.”

Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting, where he shared his thoughts on the future of AI-powered surveillance tools.

Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.

“We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

Ellison also expects AI drones to replace police cars in high-speed chases. “You just have a drone follow the car,” Ellison said. “It’s very simple in the age of autonomous drones.” He did not say if those drones would broadcast the chases on network news.

It’s a federal ID, not a state ID. I assume that makes it a federal crime based on that link above.

It was super easy to make a fake ID out of my passport when I was a kid. I scanned the photo page, Photoshoped it and printed it out on a color printer. I cut out the picture on the printout with a razor, covered it with a lamination sheet and stuck it on top of the real ID. After a quick trim, nobody could tell the difference.

The real trick was that hardly anyone uses a passport as an ID at a bar so bouncers and bartenders didn’t know what to look for in a fake. (It still looked very real for what was almost 25 years ago or more.)

Report it. (New account, blog spam, funky domain, poorly configured server, etc.)

It seems like it would be extremely fast to me. Take a 50x50 block of pixels and expand those across a 100x100 pixel grid leaving blank pixels were you have missing data. If a blank pixel is surrounded by blue pixels, the probability of the missing pixel being blue is fairly high, I would assume.

That is a problem that is perfect for AI, actually. There is an actual algorithm that can be used for upscaling, but at its core, its likely boiled down to a single function and AI’s are excellent for replicating the output of basic functions. It’s not a perfect result, but it’s tolerable.

If this example is correct or not for FSR, I have no clue. However, having AI shit out data based on a probability is mostly what they do.

No Starfield? Oh noes!

I suspect there is a correlation with tech adoption. This chart isn’t the end-all-be-all, but it’s a start. (The years aren’t consistent on the attached chart, btw.)

It’s OPs thing. He just got lazy this time it seems and scrubbed the soft Chinese propaganda title this time.

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain’t twitter any more, and “X” is just dumb as fuck.

I remember they finally were able to make a ball point pen all by themselves in 2017.

When I actually start seeing products that aren’t contaminated with fake ICs or are actually grounded properly without hyper-strict foreign supervision, I’ll change my tune. Until then, there isn’t an article in the world that will convince me that China is actually innovating or taking steps to make quality products.

What the hell are you popping off about? All you need to do is go to Amazon or Ali Express to see the absolute plethora of Chinese product clones. Just search for a 3D printers, as a good example.

Yeah, I guess I am a bit prejudice against the bulk Chinese electronic garbage that is usually an extreme fire hazard. Maybe it’s all the fake or counterfeit chips I have had to replace that has pissed me off.

Look bub. I don’t give a flying fuck about China or the politics involved. Their manufacturing sucks ass and their actual their innovation is rare. If they copied products correctly, I would have a bit more respect for their business model.

If you want to go all-out tankie on people, maybe you should go back to your own instance.

That’s great and all, but you missed the theme of this thread.

China has been the king of bulk products for years. Saying that recent investments will alter world politics in 25 years is a bit strange. Saturating markets is what China does best.

There is a bit more history behind TSMC. You left out the bits where they partnered with other companies, like Philips, that gave them access to proprietary information. They continued building relationships with other large companies and investing back into their own business.

China isn’t doing that. China has had access to older fab equipment for years but still fails to truly innovate. If US companies could trust China enough not to steal modern tech, there could be some real benefits to having fabs in China. The world kinda figured out never to send proprietary information to China years ago. Companies still do and doesn’t take long for a thousand clones to pop up on Ali Express shortly after.

Trains are one thing, modern chip fab is a completely different. Buying older equipment is not going to get them anywhere but into the production of chips that have been on the market for 10 years already.

This is one industry where each generation has hard limits for manufacturing.

But they are buying mature-node equipment, says the article. That doesn’t mean shit other then more cloning and counterfeiting.

Well, you might need to do a bit of creative hacking with pinning/unpinning multiple posts. You would have a community with “sub categories” of a pinned posts. Each comment under that post could be voted on.

My first thought is reduce the complexity for now and start a Lemmy community for what you want. I know it’s not going to be as versatile as a full-blown forum and any specific requirements you have might not be met, but there are creative ways to manage this as a moderator with the API.

It would be free, you wouldn’t need to worry about the web security aspect for now and it might let you feel out how to manage topics/projects before you build an actual forum.

Sorry I couldn’t directly answer your question, but was hoping that an alternative approach might be of use. It’s just that hosting and managing a forum can be a time suck.

The exact same comment was posted from a Lemmy World account 2-3 times, and once from another account on Lemmy .ca.

My wild speculation is that the user made a comment, it lagged, the refresh button was hit a couple of times resulting in multiple POST commands. Maybe the session continued to appear lagged for the user and they switched accounts, resulting in yet another duplicate POST being executed with the new session token. Again, that is just speculation.

In my experience, dupe comments are common with phone clients, either on Lemmy or Reddit. I suppose the same could happen with PC browsers if there is system or VPN lag.

Sure thing. I like to share stuff since I do a lot of random stuff. I also like to learn new things so I try to make it a habit to appreciate any corrections people make to what I say. Live, learn and share!

Just go ask Alice if you don’t believe that. Preferably when she is at about 10ft tall.
