  • None of what is considered 'AI' is actually AI, it's just a rebrand of machine learning tech that has been around for a few years now (and is genuinely useful in certain circumstances). It's all 'AI', only the generative AI is worth getting mad about.

  • Women filmed in secret for TikTok content - then harassed online

    Jump

  • I see where you're coming from and will do my best to clarify my position. I am going to distinguish between Explicit and Tacit consent, and Explicit and Assumed Knowledge. The reason I distinguish between Explicit Knowledge and Explicit Consent is that you can combine them in different ways:

    Yes Explicit Knowledge Yes Explicit Consent (interview)Yes Explicit Knowledge No Explicit Consent (bike thief being filmed)No Explicit Knowledge No Explicit Consent (Covert filming)

    In order to give Explicit Consent to being filmed you must first have Knowledge of being filmed. This might be someone who agrees to be interviewed on camera.

    The bike thief didn't give Explicit Consent to be filmed, but did have Knowledge of being filmed. If they didn't want to be filmed they could do something about it, such as leave the area, or confront the person filming. Because they didn't take action to prevent themselves from being filmed despite knowing that it was happening, they gave Tacit Consent.

    You say that by this measure:

    Someone could stick a camera in your face and follow you around

    No, that's called harassment and is a separate offence.

    The woman being covertly filmed doesn't have the Explicit Knowledge that she is being filmed and so cannot give Explicit Consent. She is also unable to take any specific action against being recorded because she unaware that it is happening: the filming is covert. (You misread my previous comment, I was saying she could have done something if she had known).

    Here's the catch: this is all happening in public, and there is no expectation of privacy in public. This is where Assumed Knowledge comes in. When you are in public you must Assume that you may be recorded. It may be by someone taking a selfie, or filming ducks in the park, you may never see them. This isn't Covert, because you Know it may be happening (and if you see people filming or taking photos you can then deny Tacit Consent by not walking into their photo).

  • That's where I made the distinction in my original comment between consent and knowledge. In the scenario in the article the woman being filmed had no knowledge that she was being filmed and was therefore unable to provide informed consent to the interaction. If she had known that she was being filmed, she could have walked away, or altered the way in which she approached the interaction. In the videos that I linked in my other comment everyone on camera knew that they were being recorded and were therefore able to decide if they wanted to consent to the interaction. Apart from possibly the cat.

  • You're no longer arguing against my point, which is that filming and photography in public with single party consent is important.

  • Yes CCTV in public is not inherently evil, where it is obvious and not hidden. What I was talking about though was the right of the public to photograph and film in public spaces. Without that right there would be no street photography, no citizen journalism exposing police abuse of power, no youtubers making videos about strange and interesting things in public, no footage of people committing crimes in public, no videos of cats in Istanbul. This (and more) is what would be lost if we ban cameras from public places.

    When authorities abuse their power the only protection is evidence and public backlash. The best evidence is video evidence. That's why the police wearing body worn cameras is a good thing, it means the public can hold them to account if they misbehave.

    There is a big difference between passive CCTV (recordings can be accessed if needed) and active CCTV (continually scanned by AI combined with facial recognition). I do think that unless there is serious pushback against facial recognition it will be increasingly implemented, despite the risks, however your worries about the police scanning your facial expression and sending plain clothes officers after you are completely unfounded and a little bit unhinged.

  • GOG is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with C++ experience to modernize the GOG GALAXY desktop client and spearhead its Linux development

    Jump

  • Because it means more available games, and more options for gamers. Open source launchers would be great, but any launcher is better than no launcher at all, and first party support shows that GOG are taking Linux seriously as a platform that is worth investing time and resources in. This community is for people who A) Like Linux, and B) Like playing video games. Anything that allows you to play more video games on Linux is a good thing.

  • Steam isn't open source either. Bringing GoG galaxy to linux will make it easier for linux gamers to buy and install DRM free games. The games won't be open source either, that's not the issue here.

    Jump

  • I think knowledge and consent need to be distinguished, there are lots of people who are filmed in public that wouldn't consent to it, bike thieves for instance. I don't think that banning filming or photography in public is a sensible idea.

  • Its there to clarify that the journalist wasn't adding their own opinion to the article, which they are not allowed to do. The word would have to be a quote from someone interviewed in the article or some other official description.

  • Yorkshire Puddings (with oven+internal temperature trace)

  • Yorkshire puddings and a graph! Do you know why the probe in the oil dropped in temperature in the middle of the graph?

    Edit: It looks like to moved the probe to the batter when you put the yorkshires in, I'm surprised by how cool they remain compared to the ambient oven temperature even once they've finished cooking.

  • The problem isn't the recording, this was in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy, the problem is covert recording.

  • Johnny Appleseed planting apple trees for kids to eat

    Jump

  • Yes, most commonly just different varieties of a fruit, but sometimes completely different fruits. You can have apples and pears, plums, you name it.

    They can be quite pretty because the different branches will blossom and bear fruit at different times.

  • You can graft different kinds of fruit as well so the tree can have some branches with one variety and different branches with another.

  • Ubisoft has cancelled 6 games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake | VGC

    Jump

  • The combat is fine, my only issue with it was the camera trying to get you killed, especially around corners. Still one of the best games Ubisoft have ever made.
