i mean it's not like the world's most powerful country has absolutely no issues with their law enforcement nor have there been any incidents of collateral damage, waterboarding, rape, torture or killings

this is not to distract from the issue - maybe it just really is hard as hell to effectively do what WWF does without resorting to horrible things. after all the financial forces that are killing the planet have a lot more money than the WWF

just every now and again that turns out to be untrue

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-04/the-ai-cameras-that-can-spot-shoplifters-even-before-they-steal

quote:

Vaak, a Japanese startup, has developed artificial intelligence software that hunts for potential shoplifters, using footage from security cameras for fidgeting, restlessness and other potentially suspicious body language.

...

The goal is prevention; if the target is approached and asked if they need help, there’s a good chance the theft never happens.

Cool. I'm fidgeting and nervous because I find grocery shopping a miserable experience and all I can think of is how badly I want to leave. On top of the crowd, the noise and the lovely music I'm gonna be bothered by staff asking if there's anything they can help with. Vaak off.

what are the odds that it focuses almost exclusively on POC and the visibly poor, exactly like regular loss prevention staff?

no I understand what whataboutism is. I am sorry that I could not explain my point more clearly

my basic thought process went like “given what we know of the best funded law enforcement agencies, what is the actual real life expectation of wildlife conservation on the ground”

my post was not meant to be “but look at us law enforcement”

well ultimately youd want an uber-style dispatch system for porters to move similar patients to the same wards so so you announce a diagnosis over the intercom
