US regulators crack down on AI playing doctor in healthcare
  • If I remember correctly, fax machines are still used because they’re a “secure” method of transmitting sensitive patient information. Regulations are keeping that inefficient dinosaur alive.

    They’re of course not secure, but people who are tech literate rarely draft this kind of legislation.

  • eBay will lay off 1,000 employees — 9 percent of the company
  • This breaks down as a business grows. When your business employs a significant portion of the local economy, it accumulates soft power that can rival that of local governments, all while having little to none of the accountability or representation that one would otherwise expect.

    Management is likely being fired to an extent, but one used to expect those with the authority and responsibility to be in such a position of power to be held accountable. We’re long gone from the days where a leader would personally take accountability and step down while making unpopular or harmful decisions.

    I don’t have a perfect solution to this but I clearly think something needs to change.

  • eBay will lay off 1,000 employees — 9 percent of the company
  • Maybe look at this another way:

    The government should represent the interests of the people. If the people have shown interest in curbing these layoff behaviors, where thousands of people lose their jobs while management remains in place with no apparent cuts to the top billing, then why would lawmakers not want to translate these interests into legislation?

    I get a reasonable wariness of keeping the government out of private business, but if you have a town of 10 people, all employed by local business owner, and that business owner lays off two people, you have a large percentage of the population affected. If the townspeople enact a local ordinance to prevent this kind of behavior in the future, would they be in the wrong?

  • AI Camera's took over one small American Town. Now they are everywhere.
  • I'd imagine you need to point the software to a camera you own. In this case, cities would add list of the networked cameras they use to the software suite and let it do its thing.

    I doubt this program is just scouring the net for unsecured cameras, but who really knows. IP geolocation is getting worse and worse by the year, so that's an unreliable feature.
