AI is a bureaucratic technology. So is war. What happens when AI slop hits targeting systems and civil liberties?

“The #dystopias we ought fear will be less like 1984 with its all seeing #BigBrother, and more like Terry Gilliam’s #Brazil, in which a bug caught in a teleprinter results in the wrong person being targeted and tormented.” open.substack.com/pub/programm...

A year ago I wrote a piece about #Canada playing the role of place of refuge and a bastion of #freedom in #dystopias about the #US. As the US continues its rapid descent into #authoritarianism and #CanadaDay looms, it seems a good time to post it again ... doncurren.blogspot.com/2024/06/what...
