I’m sure that if the grandson is a Nazi, it’s easy enough to prove without having to infer that Nazism is a genetic disease with a patrilinear mode of transmission.

This is a weak argument. Being a regional CEO of Palantir is enough to disqualify him. No need to use this rationale.

Yes, they’ll be thrilled! They love this kind of challenges, they call them ‘absolute fucking dumbass tickets’ - satirically of course. They like me.

OK let’s taste… This cocaine is shit, Pablo! The gasoline is not completely evaporated and there’s far too much powder milk cut into it!

Let’s see your lab! Come on! Oh my God I can’t believe it. Open this barrel, open it now!

For banking, people just don’t want other people to know what they do with their money, and how much money they have. Culturally I think it would be very hard to change. Not talking about dildos and such, but what you buy is really a window into your private life. When you start having children for instance, privacy becomes very important.

Thanks for the answers, it’s an interesting perspective even if I strongly disagree. I wish people wouldn’t downvote without giving their opinion.

I appreciate and respect your honesty regarding your real name, but given the world we live in, I would still recommend you hide it here. I still stand corrected.

I really don’t see how authoritarian regimes would be affected negatively (for them) by transparency?

Regarding Wikipedia, I think a lot of contributors would hesitate to give their real name. If it was the norm, maybe the usages would be different, but I think I wouldn’t have personally contributed if I knew that people I know could find my works there. And I haven’t even done anything weird.

For banking, secrecy is a cornerstone of the system, even IRL. What the banks manage to do IRL would still need to be done on the Internet. Public transactions IRL is unthinkable and it would be online

You’re using an alias, so your first sentence is already a lie.

But it doesn’t matter. Complete transparency would be a death sentence for all political opponents under authoritarian regimes. It would be a huge risk for them elsewhere.

It would allow companies that control the Web infrastructures and its software to have even more power over the Internet users.

It would make many technologies completely useless or unusable: online banking, electronic votes… Wikipedia would be dead, that would be a major setback

I used to be on the engineering team that worked on the development of a similar camera. For what it’s worth, at the time: there was no AI involved, we only used good old image processing algorithms. And the camera (all cameras, lidars, or radars on the car BTW) does not record anything. It treats images as they come. There’s almost no storage space on the car for all the image data generated.

All this might have changed since then (especially the AI part) but I’m still relatively confident that car systems don’t have the storage for all this data.

Additionally, since this is a European brand, I think it would be quite difficult to legally retain personal information like that. It was already difficult during the development phase.

I’m not saying they wouldn’t be above ominous shenanigans, but it would be difficult.

Since porno sites are limited to 18+ people, I suggest you could authenticate yourself by providing the link to a very specific type of videos

You failed your check: your druid forgot what he was about to do with the downed paladin and tries to summon 8 monkeys.

Only doctor? The neighbour’s son is archdoctor! The family is dishonoured.

Bold move.
