Is there anything they don't track...?

gonna be two types of people: those that steal from the robots and those that kill those who try

Anyone else notice a trend of cops spending way too much time on Social Media instead of going after actual criminals?

I'd love to see cops admit that they're tracking corrupt politicians and CEOs, but that will never happen.

Cops just doing their job, protecting capital. Same as it ever was.

Philly Cops Admit That They’re Tracking “First Amendment Activity” Critical of AI

Philly Cops Admit That They’re Tracking Citizens Critical Of A New Unethically Developed Technology Used Against The Same Citizens.

I gotta wonder how much attention they pay to federated social media. Police have always had a mandate to serve the interests of property owners first, so it might be they’ll choose to pretend sources existing free of corporate patronage don’t exist.

It’s like talking to a Windows guy about Linux. They pretend it’s not what serious companies use, so all the cool OSS stuff is invisible to them. Ask me about how I taught an entire tech consultancy about Markdown files. They thought a good README was saved as a Word doc. Dumbasses.

Ah, the literal thinkpol. Very cool, very nice

To Protect and Serve [government and corporations]

What even the fuck.

"tracking" things they will do nothing about at least keeps the violent deadbeat cops off the street. I suggest they start counting the number of vowels in Nancy Drew and Hardy boys books, that would be another good use of their time and keep them busy. Whats that saying, "Idle cop hands do the devils work" I think.

They could also dig holes in fields and then fill them in. Or work on justice degrees at the local community colleges so they could learn to do their jobs professionally.

Whichever of their idiot supervisors told them to spy on Americans should of course be fired and prosecuted.

Your tax payer dollars at work!!

AI is not even entrenched in our society and it already gets full protection. We have to allow it and no regulations allowed without the federal government saber rattling.

This is beyond ridiculous. This has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with the corporatocracy ruling our lives.

The CIA is useless, can we not all agree on that yet?

How very free

Wow. Criticism is now called “first amendment activity” and considered a sinister precursor to crime

Your post seems to imply that this is some sort of conspiracy by local politicians but that's probably disinformation itself:

From the article:

A fusion center in Philadelphia combed through spicy Internet comments from AI critics and concluded there is a growing risk of physical violence against data centers from "domestic violent extremists", ranging from white supremacists to anarchists.

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, fusion centers are designed to promote information sharing at the federal level between agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Justice, and state, local, and tribal law enforcement.

It is much more likely that the federal government had an algorithm flag these comments and sent them to Philly law enforcement for review.
