if get_RGB(person(face)) != 255,255,255 {

The only good thing is that it's a database of specific people rather than ai predicting that all minorities are criminals.

also lol

quote:

So after I emailed Waymo for comment about Richardson's observations, Waymo called Richardson. Richardson then emailed to ask me not to publish this story. I contacted Waymo, telling them that I intended to respect Richardson's request. But I also said I might write a different story instead—one focused on the fact that I couldn't find any Waymo One customers to talk to.

A Waymo spokeswoman then called me and said that, in the interest of transparency, the company would allow me to publish my story. She promised me that Richardson wouldn't get into legal trouble as a result. With that promise in hand, Richardson gave his approval for me to write about our conversation.

amazon rekognition seems to work pretty well for us, once some thresholds are applied. when the similarity score goes below 98, you're getting more false positives than good matches, so discard everything in that range unless the last names also match, then manual review. don't even look below 90, maybe even 95. even above 98, if the sharpness of the image is less than 10%, or the area of the face bounding box is less than 10% of the total image area, then the match is likely junk even if the confidence score is really high like 99.99. also even if the face area exceeds 10%, if the left edge of the bounding box is so close to the right edge of the image, or vice versa, that barely any of the facial features are visible, then the match is also junk so discard that. similar scores in brightness and face area with differences in sharpness can also help identify cases of the same image but one is lower quality

No I didn't read that far. Yeah if it's just people other users have flagged it's going to be terrible.

It should be like ublock where you can sign up for different filters, like a nazi filter.

fairly interesting that amazon is employing software developers to oppress the working class tho. like literally assigning tickets titled "turn the screws a little tighter on the delivery peons" must be a real fun team to be on

so the resource officers nab a boy for some dumb poo poo at school. they pull him into a room. 'do you know any gang members?' 'uh, my cousin's friend might be a blood i don't know'

they get put into the database for life for 'known accomplice'

who wants to talk about things that are specific to a suburban neighborhood, yet would be scared to say those things irl to the neighbors, but also is cool with having their real name out there next to the comments?

This already exists. They already have smart locks to let in couriers to leave packages (alright they're pushing the car thing more I think now?). They're just repurposing it for racism.
