@madeindex good luck with that.
It is entirely delusional to think that you can detect someone’s mood by how they sound or look.
Or just plain stupid.
I have hidden it very well and I have known others who do it way better than me because they can also smile.
It is a futile endeavour. Worse than that it could lead to missing cases. That can be fatal.
People should NEVER rely on technology to find out if someone needs help. Extremely irresponsible rubbish.
@madeindex another classic example. Someone who is a sociopath or psychopath or even a narcissist. It takes real subtlety to pick up on it.
And software does not do HUMAN subtleties. Because humans are far too complex.
And even if it did pick up in some cases there’s the problem of the power of suggestion and various other things so how do you know they are REALLY feeling that way?
@madeindex and even if it was say 1 per cent accurate or even 95 per cent accurate that’s still a hell of a lot of people to miss (not that everyone would be subjected to it).
Oh and it’s creepy. That alone is reason to not do this.
But why would those prats care about that?
@madeindex yes I do know that they say YOUR mood but anyone who thinks this could not or would not be abused is very naïve indeed.
Very good points, not like any of this would ever stop them however, as they love spending billions on products nobody asked for!
As long as it's good enough for their money making needs, even if it's only right half the the time or less (might be able to detect somewhat simple indicators e.g. laughter, crying etc) and results in fatalities.
I guess new technology always isn't perfect but these mega corps are utterly irresponsible and approach it with the worst motivations.
@madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world it reminds me of the ‘technology’ that supposedly could detect (by facial expressions) someone’s sexual orientation.
Which when I read about it years ago immediately reminded me of the Gestapo. Why? Well they more than once offered a Jew a job. The Nazis (and the SS were classic here) had pseudo science including that by analysing the skull you can tell if they were Jewish (a more accurate check if not perfectly you probably know).
@madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world the SS Lebensborn (to create Aryans to replace the lost blood) despite having ‘background checks’ going back generations ended up creating not ‘pure’ people.
Women were even given benefits to have sex with ‘pure’ SS men.
There is the infamous caste for occultism.
The common part is Himmler.
And although I don’t know if this part is true he purportedly believed he was King Henry reincarnated. Well it’s easy to believe that!
@madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world but there also were and are a lot of lies and misinformation and bad memories and other things.
Something that a lot of people don’t know is that there were Jewish Nazis including in the SS (Himmler didn’t like it but Hitler overruled him).
Göring famously said ‘I decide who is a Jew’. Well it’s just like all bigotry: it’s a default but it doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions.
@madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world regardless the idea that technology can accurately detect these types of things has been shown historically to be complete rubbish yet people still go for it.
You are right though. Of course they don’t care! Anything for money or other gains (whatever that means to them).
Still it’s creepy to try and have technology that analyses someone’s face to decide if they are happy or something else. It’s also completely stupid.
@xexyl
Did you at the time read about this leak? They even have an “attractive” score.

@madeindex@lemmy.world
@madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world no but it doesn’t surprise me in the least. It’s much like the first example I mentioned. Different yes but similar in concept. And it’s creepy and bonkers.
On the other hand ‘artificial intelligence-powered smart city technology’ makes me laugh.
And also it scares me. The wording is ridiculous but the fact that people are aiming for this - that’s the problem.
Oh well. Not that we can do anything about it.
@davep
Haha sounds to their technology like the perfect mood for one of Metas child abuse ads!
@madeindex AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
