The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

The US has the personnel to go through 5 years of every tourists personal social media history? I think fucking not.

The beauty of AI.

Target an individual's account for keywords or even just vibes. See what you can fish out. Impose highly public harm to a handful of soft targets. Your people will love that.

FOX News would gleefully run footage of some Blue Hair teenager crying in an airport because she got flagged at TSA for posting "Fuck Trump" on Facebook.

And that's what this is really for. Not some air tight seal on travel, but a few repeatable meme moments you can blast to your hog base

AI is great for identifying things if you don't care about false positives.

It will also have a quota to fill. flag 5000 turists a day or we'll remove 10% of your RAM

is it dedotated wam?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

It won't most of the time and even if it does from time to time that's a feature not a bug.

i read that as “blast your hog to.”

and i thought - those maga assholes will jerk to anything.

Off topic ... Is cranking your hog masturbating?

Oh Jesus, I did not interpret it like that I just thought of loud motorcycle noises...

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Eh, own it and move on. Can't change the past.

I meant, they're not mutually exclusive after all!

Everyone is already in a database. NSA has scraped these sites already and tagged the data using Palantir’s tech. All they have to do is scan your passport and use your data and biometrics to pull a file up. The only thing they need is your permission to make it legal. If you want to enter you have to give permission.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Delete the biometrics that provide access.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I don’t mean biometrics to unlock your phone. I just mean your face and fingerprints, which they take a photo of when you enter the US. They will use that to scan for matches in a database.

[–] deliriousdreams@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Then why do they need you to submit anything?

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

So they can pretend that they don’t have this database already.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

So they can try and catch an innocent mistake and arrest you for lying to them.

[–] xav@programming.dev 14 points 1 day ago

That's not how it works. AI has already categorized all accounts, they'll just lookup how people have been classified all these years.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 14 points 1 day ago

Statistical word parrots will.

I wonder how long it'll be until a prompt injection "attack" is used in a major terrorist attack.
