3D printed suicide booths coming to a canton near you!

https://interestingengineering.com/a-3d-printed-assisted-suicide-pod-is-now-legal-in-switzerland

quote:

The company wants to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assess the mental soundness of the person opting to die by assisted suicide. They would need to complete an online test to demonstrate that they have taken the decision with free will and then get access to the code to access Sarco.

The 3D-printed pod that looks like a coffin can be towed to the location of choice where the individual can then lie down in it. The system then asks the individual a series of questions, which when answered will allow the individual to begin the process with the press of a button.

The right to die with dignity is a complicated issue but I think we can all agree that the biggest problem is how unprofitable it is. These heroes driving down the labor costs by ensuring that your death is as lonely and isolating as your life are going to change all that.

Look, Kamala Harris is a piece of poo poo pig motherfucker and a war criminal, but it's actually good to see someone in a position of power who isn't a gibbering loving moron when it comes to anything technological.

I don't use Bluetooth, either, for similar reasons. Even if it's too paranoid, good! Better too paranoid than not paranoid enough.

even if you give a machine learning algorithm meaningless random garbage/noise for inputs, a system based on the goal to construct a set of rules and categories to explain reality as "these data points be like this, but those data points be like that" is going to start generating racial biases as soon as it encounters data involving humans

There was an article about medical AI not too long ago where they discovered that no matter what medical data they fed in, the AI was able to predict the race of the subjects at a high level of accuracy, meaning that if they wanted to train AI to make decisions based on what doctors did in real situations, they would likely be reproducing medical racism without knowing it.

a level paranoia is advisable but it seems weird to say no to bluetooth headphones specifically because they aren't secure while you're carrying around a smartphone with a gps built in

unless you don't use a smartphone, in which case you're probably on a watchlist already

this happened back in the 80s too when they were called “expert systems,” except instead of blatant racism, the systems were super misogynistic and prescribed poo poo like aspirin for pregnancies etc.

Yes, because racism is a systemic phenomenon with material consequences for physical health and wellbeing, so it's not surprising that the pattern recognition machine found the pattern. That doesn't mean that the ultimate outcome from using ML in medicine *has* to be racist, any more than any other tool's use. It *will* be, though, because we are poo poo incarnate.

I've never heard of a gps exploit that lets you own the whole phone, though. There are several Bluetooth exploits like that.
