Anthropic Builds Surveillance System to Track Activists
An American Prospect investigation says Anthropic is hiring an enterprise intelligence specialist to track anti-AI activism, which it lists as a global threat.

#siliconvalley #AI is basically just the evolution of mass #tracking and #datamining, which is culminating into a mass #surveillance system that would make the Chinese "sharp eyes" system blush.
They are so gung ho about getting AI data centres everywhere - even getting the dammed things subsidized by governments - because they want to sell "#surveillancestate as a service".
#Apple Watch's new AI features are normalizing the idea that technology is always listening

Yeah I know it's a youtube link and we loathe that platform. But it's also David Bombal, and a relatively short video that can be shared with anyone you know who's on the fence about FLOCK, AI, and the surveillance state that's being built & expanded more and more every day.

We can protect kids online without hard-coding surveillance into everyone’s device.
An opt-in mechanism for parents and people who choose to use this tech is a more proportionate response.
The focus should be on educational methods, and specialised policing of sextortion and child abuse offences.

It won't end with nudes.
Once content-scanning software is on your device, it could be expanded to other categories and into private communications.
An end-to-end encrypted app such as WhatsApp or Signal could be prevented from delivering a message based on an automated assessment of its content.

Nudity doesn't necessarily mean sexual.
It can be for medical purposes, journalism or artistic expression. Think life drawing, historic documentation like the 'Napalm girl', breast-feeding support or sex education.
Any scanning tech carries risks of false positives and weaponised false negatives.

Don't believe the hype, we've just had a warning about supposedly ‘safe by design’ tech.
The HMD Fuse child-safety phone was taken off sale after serious security vulnerabilities were discovered.
This includes flaws which could expose a child’s live location and allow protections to be disabled.

Nudity blocking works by scanning ALL your content.
The privacy implications are huge.
And the same goes for the alternative: having to submit your sensitive data in the form of ID uploads or biometric scans to verify you're over 18.
Meanwhile, the age verification industry remains unregulated.

Cover your bits, the UK government wants to put scanning tech on your phone.
The aim? To prevent kids receiving and sending nudes. But it'll be there as default for everyone, unless you go through age verification to disable it.
It's a disproportionate move that'll compromise privacy and security.

Smear Campaign Says Anti-Flock Movement Is #Chinese #Propaganda
Over the weekend, more than a dozen local #TVnews stations ran a video report called “Far-left network behind ‘No Kings’ protests targeting #AI data centers, #Flock cams.” The report paints those opposing Flock not as a diverse, decentralized, bipartisan group of ordinary citizens who oppose mass #surveillance, but as well-funded #radicalLeftists who are spreading propaganda at the behest of #China and rich #billionaires. The opposite is true, of course: The entities defending Flock and painting their opponents as cynical, paid #influencers have a specific agenda, have deep pockets, and are connected to some of the most powerful people in the world.

Amid the pushback against public surveillance, Apple unveiled a new feature that can recall your conversations. TechCrunch's @Sarahp looks at why that move could be a risk for Apple as it attempts to compete in an AI-dominated industry.

"Apple is trying to get consumers to accept, and even welcome, a new reality: Your tech is always listening.
At Wednesday’s Surprise and Shine event, where the company introduced its new hardware lineup, the real surprise turned out not to be the foldable iPhone, but how the privacy-sensitive tech giant has decided its watches will now be able to process live audio and transcribe what was said.
Does this mean you’re always being recorded if the person you’re interacting with is wearing an Apple Watch? Not exactly — though it may make some people uncomfortable regardless.
It also raises the question of whether consumers actually want this technology, or if Apple forged ahead in this area because it was afraid that another company, such as OpenAI, would soon introduce a competitive AI device of its own."
