Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

Like I said, epitome of, "fuck you, I got mine." You don't care about the rights of other's because yours aren't under threat.

[–] bioemerl@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except something I want is under threat.

You're just pissed I don't prioritize issues that don't effect me when issues that very much do come up.

And I've seen enough of the world to know how that goes. If you don't stand up for what matters to you, nobody will and everything you have will be slowly eroded away.

Reading comprehension, you lack it.

Your life, liberty and health aren't under attack, so you don't give a shit about the life, liberty, or health of others. That's what, "fuck you, I got mine," means.

Edit: Also, the irony of you talking about, "everything you have will be slowly eroded away," while proudly saying you don't care about the erosion of the rights of others is not lost on me.

[–] bioemerl@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's just you being pissed I don't vote for other people before myself.

Fuck you got mine would be if, on knowing issues I don't care about are resolved, I started voting against people's rights.

This is "fuck you, don't got mine". Once I got mine the fuck you will go away.

But you've said it yourself, you would vote against other people's rights if it meant fewer things, "getting in the way of open source algorithms."

[–] bioemerl@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I wouldn't vote for AI if the advancement of AI required we don't mandate police cameras.

But it doesn't. The Democrats can easily both support rights and AI. It's their choice not to and if they make that choice they lose my vote.

Need I remind you of your initial comment?

Delay llama 3 and I’m voting for whoever runs against Biden. No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

No exceptions also includes even if the person running against Biden wants to take away your right to vote or bodily autonomy.

Edit: I think you're starting to realize that you've blustered yourself into a corner.

[–] bioemerl@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That doesn't contradict what I said at all.

[–] ElectroNeutrino@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You've said, repeatedly, that you would vote for AI over rights. It's your single issue, and have even pointed out that Democrats can support both, but if they don't support AI you'll vote against them regardless of what their opponents support.

[–] bioemerl@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, because that's my primary issue.

If it was some other issue I'd flip flop my vote based on that. If I didn't have any issues like that I'd vote on the "generic best party" and generally that's the Democrats.

If I were voting against people's rights I'd just always vote straight ticket Republican.

[–] ElectroNeutrino@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You've made it clear that you would vote Republican if the Democrats don't support AI.

And since you have said it yourself that it would be voting against people's rights to do so, you've made it clear that you are okay voting against people's rights if it means voting for AI, which is exactly how the rights of everyone get eroded.
