For the Dutch people on here, the new surveillance law in short:
- dragnet surveillance, data retention of normal data is a maximum of 3 years, encrypted data up to 6 years.
- secret DNA database, data retention up to 30(!!) years.
- use of 0days without having to report them to the vendors.
- third parties may be hacked to get to main targets; if my neighbor is suspected they may legally hack me in order to get to him/her.
Cleaning up (removing backdoors etc) afterwards is not required.
- sharing unfiltered (raw) data gathered through dragnet surveillance with foreign intelligence agencies is permitted, even if it's to a country which doesn't have as much 'democracy' as this country does.
Decide for yourself if you're voting (at all) against or in favor of this law, I'm voting against :)
We do need a new/reformed law, this one is just too intrusive imo.34 -

Didn't really know how to categorize, bit of a question/discussion/curiosity, so I put it here.🤷
Just today I read an article that stated about the Netherlands, where the police will use an "AI surveillance camera" (yey buzzwords incoming 🙄, but it would actually make sense(?)🤷) to detect and punish drivers, holding a smartphone. Pictures without smartphone shall be deleted. How would this system work without having non-smartphone pictures? It needs to build a classifier, doesn't it? (To be clear, the system only reports those images to an officer for further analysis and actions.)
I mean let's consider that the images are somehow pre-processed, then some convolution(s) for feature extraction, then maybe some more intermediate steps and at the end apply the results on a classifier. How would that classifier work? Would a probability between 0 and 1 suffice? And if so, report those from 0,5 and above? Or would there be better techniques?9 -
Microsoft Proposes Using OpenAI Tech for US Military, Ignoring Ethical Guidelines
Microsoft has recently stirred significant controversy by proposing the integration of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence into US military operations, despite apparent violations of OpenAI’s ethical guidelines. This revelation emerged from a detailed investigative report by The Intercept, which highlighted Microsoft’s plans to profit from its hefty investments in AI technology through military applications.
During a presentation titled “Generative AI with DoD Data” to the Department of Defense, Microsoft showcased various military uses for OpenAI’s AI, including analyzing surveillance imagery and managing battlefield operations. This presentation not only outlined the potential applications of generative AI like DALL-E in creating images for battle management systems but also discussed how tools such as ChatGPT could be utilized to automate bureaucratic processes such as report writing.
