Dystopian hostility will be enforced! Don’t you dare be nice or show any preference with other humans.

Having a shitty day, but you don't want to take it out on the wage slave behind the counter? What are you hiding?

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 21 points 4 days ago

I think it’s because a corporation doesn’t understand the concept of why you wouldn’t exploit a vulnerable person.

I swear so many of our problems stem from this. The types of personalities required to reach high level decision making positions within vast organizations strongly trend towards psychopathy.

"Is that a smile? Get him!"

[-] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 4 days ago

who’s willing to bet this AI will mysteriously label nonwhite people as suspicious more often?

Israel-based Corsight AI

of course.

Reminds me of the guide book we had in the army, for the company duty officer. (Which is only a title, it's never done by actual officers but by privates and perhaps corporals, just busy work essentially journaling who comes and goes.)

The was a part on "how to recognise drug users" then the vaguest shit imaginable like eating lots of candy and being pleasant to people, something along those lines.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 42 points 4 days ago

In a past life I had to deal with cops on a regular basis, and now and then they'll describe themselves as someone who can recognize criminals by just looking at them.

One said: "If I see someone who is avoiding looking at me, I know that he doesn't want my attention, so he probably has something to hide."

On a different day, a different cop said: "When I see someone that's looking at me, that's because they are worried I'm gonna find out something, so probably they have something to hide."

I learned that cops have two main traits: They are overconfident and under-prepared.

That was actually in a training guide for traffic stops from one of those Killology-type courses thousands of cops take every year. John Oliver talks about it on his Traffic Stops episode.

But yeah, they teach cops that making eye contact or not is a sign of guilt, as well as driving under/over the speed limit being an indicator of guilt, but also, believe it or not, driving the speed limit... Also an indicator of guilt.

[-] HelterSkeletor@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

driving the speed limit... Also an indicator of guilt.

🚨 🤡

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah, good cop is "When I see someone — probably they have something to hide." Also, it's not a good kind of good, that's why I don't want to deal with cops even when I've nothing to worry about, they can always come up with a reason for me to worry

My toddler must be the world's heaviest user, based on those guidelines.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

As a former addict with tons of addict friends, the candy part is spot on. Not sure why but addicts consume a lot of candy

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Well, as someone who pretty much always returned to the army drunk and high, I can't say it's wrong.

However, do you know who else consumes a lot of candy? 20-year old kids stuck in the army doing physically demanding shit all the time.

Quite a lot of my life I've hung around weed smokers and other addicts as well. The amount of candy consumed in the army was significantly higher in my opinion.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 8 points 4 days ago

People doing lots of drugs are probably trying to escape from something or otherwise self-medicate without realizing it (unless they're "psychonauts", and even then, they might still be running from something). I dunno about you, but eating candy makes me feel good (yanno, until it doesn't). Makes the pain go away.

Just something I've been thinking about after recently discovering the "trans people love weed" stereotype. As a trans person who loves weed, why? Well, it's less dangerous than heroin or alcohol but still numbs the existential pain of being trapped in a body that doesn't feel like it fits. I figure most people who consume drugs habitually probably do the same.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

Very much this. I eat sweets mostly not because I like the taste, although sometimes it is, but because it helps feel somewhat better when everything is depressing

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

These AI company cunts need to be put down, fast. There's good uses for AI but the idiots in charge of it now are gonna enable tyranny at sci-fi levels.

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

Huh... guess my anxiety ridden autistic ass is never going to a store ever again. 🤷

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 6 points 4 days ago

Alternatively, you might be due for a huge payday in the form of an anti-discrimination suit.

[-] peanuts4life@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 4 days ago

My social anxiety is about to turn against me, isn't it?

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 8 points 4 days ago

You stand in line at the checkout, people in front of you, people in the back of you. The only thing preventing you from giving in to the urge of running out of the store is that it would make you look even weirder. As the body temperature rises, a cold sweat forms on your forehead while you try to force an awkward smile to the cashier. The internal surveillance system goes off. You're suspicious. Suddenly two guys working in the store come out of the door from the back room, heading directly towards you. Your heart drops and you swallow hard as fear and panic sets it... Fight or flight?!

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 8 points 4 days ago

I don't think that's legal in the EU.

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 days ago

My name is THX 1138, and there's a Wookie on the road.

[-] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 days ago

Finally, an excuse to buy remote.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 7 points 4 days ago

Grocery deliveries are still garbage where I live. Bad selection and expensive.

[-] pohart@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

It turns out they're always out of half my order when I get delivery

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

I guess I will have to shop at Kroger because their self-check makes me suspiciously hostile. I don't know how theirs is so much worse than other stores, but if never fails to piss me off.
