> it’s worth noting what they’ve accomplished in getting to a place where they can afford to worry about that as one of their primary concerns
It's probably also worth noting the long history of military dictatorships, murderous suppression of worker rights, massive ongoing corruption (including a literal cult controlling the government until 2016) and the highest suicide rate in the world. Reducing the story to just economies is truly narrow minded.
It's okay. You can complain to your union (which is run by your company) or work for a competitor (which is also owned by the same conglomerate as your company).
At least your leader is no longer brainwashed by a shaman who channels her dead father while taking bribes from those conglomerates [1]. That father who was also your former military dictator who followed the great tradition of torturing and murdering socialists and worker leaders with the CIAs help.
I would imagine integrating North Koreans into the South would be far more difficult than the reunification of Germany. The technological and health gap alone is huge and even their language has started to drift apart.
Are there major micro/restaurant payment apps in China other than WeChat? I imagine it's difficult to compete with an app that's preinstalled on every phone, integrated with every bank and used by every restaurant and street vendor. And that's ignoring the social network effect of the 900+ million daily users.
The history of the island is pretty much a condemnation of the modern the world - massive environment devastation, money laundering hub and finally a concentration camp for refugees.
It feels like we are finally at a tipping point of mass surveillance. The explosion in the prevalence of high quality street/traffic cameras, door bell cameras (that Amazon gives the police access to) and the growth of self driving cars (surveillance machines on wheels) are the final nails in the coffin of privacy which has been slowly dying since the start of the century.
It's drug dealers now. It's not difficult to see states using this to target women who travel for abortions, people traveling to political events etc.
No mention in the article of false positives. I wonder how many people they stopped and searched to get a result. I also wonder if the areas the suspect was visiting also overlap with poor or minority neighborhoods and what that means for those targetted.
The people who could instruct such AI and evaluate its outputs would be domain experts. Without them how would you even start to approach those problems?
Science was once the domain of Catholic monks and wealthy gentry because they were the few literate people with access to books. Monoculture is not a sign of merit.

From a European perspective I would say that in a city the real alternative is a functioning public transport system. Trams, light rail etc are infinitely safer and far cheaper than any form of car based system.
The bill has been criticised by representations of the UN Human Rights Commission and TDs from different political parties.
As an Irish person I find it infuriating that the Irish Council for Civil Liberties would approve of a bill which criminalises even unintentional "hate" speech with up to 5 years imprisonment but fails to even define what "hatred" is. The bill can't even coherently define the protected groups like 'gender' either.
It is all but guaranteed to be misused to target journalists and political dissent. We are likely to see Sinn Fein take power in some capacity soon. With laws like this soon to be on the books I think people have every right to be worried.
I campaigned to end the Blasphemy law in Ireland. This law is hoestly sickening. We all know if will be weaponised to fight culture wars and target political dissent.
I cannot wait until someone asks for the Archbishop of Dublin or the Chief Rabbi or Imam to be arrested under these laws - but they won't be of course. Taken literally it even permits people in possession of a Bible or Koran to be arrested - texts which promote slavery, murder of unbelievers and homosexuals, genital mutilation, praises genocides and the mistreatment of women and so on.
2. The majority of the public do not want these laws. There is a lingering distrust of such things due to the decades long heavy hand of the church on Irish life. There is also no epidemic of 'hate speech' or any such extreme situation warranting them. Individual instances of opposition to immigration for example (which is causing serious issues with hotel and student accommodation at the moment) are so rare that the make national headlines for days or weeks. These laws are a solution in search of a problem. Unfortunately these "lawmakers" are rushing to sacrifice the rights of citizens for a quick PR win.
I have to admin that the inclusion of an "AI" feature makes me less likely to use this tool. While it warns that the AI suggestions may not be correct (i.e. they could be hallucinations) there's no warning that using OpenAI will send some or all of your code to a third party. Many developers may realise this but if the tool developers don't highlight privacy concerns, what other issues may be lurking in their code? Developers today are too promiscuous with their users data.
(Possibly naive question) This is marketed as open source. Does that mean I can download the model and run it locally? If so, what kind of GPU would I need?
