Man Jailed, Raped, and Beaten After False Facial Recognition Match, $10M Lawsuit Alleges::A 61-year-old man alleges that a facial recognition algorithm used a mugshot from the 1980s to ID him in a crime he didn’t commit.
I find this sentiment… a bit wishy washy.
When someone bad goes to prison it’s “I hope he gets his ass beat”, when someone innocent goes to prison it’s “how could they let this happen??”
I don’t want anyone beaten up in gaol.
Ew did you just soft G that?! The fuck
Family story time: my family is full of academically minded people (three of my grandparents worked as Latin teachers), with varying levels of snobbery and reasonableness. One of the first times my dad went to my maternal grandparents house for dinner, someone said “margarine,” pronouncing it with a hard g. My father asked why, and my grandfather explained that there’s no soft g followed by an a in English.
My father accepted this, and looking to change the subject, asked if my grandparents could offer any help analyzing “The Ballad of Reading Gaol.”
Did he not pronounce garage, “jur-AHJ”? Weird.
Calm your farm. It’s British/Australian spelling.
Ghoti vibes
In the Australian accent, it’s jay-oll, not jay-ill, so the spelling makes sense here.
Ghoti Hook?
Sorry, it just looks like a horrible phaol’d spelling.
I don’t want anyone getting raped in prison.
Do you understand "nobody“?
Yeah do you understand how people shit out platitudes about hoping no one gets hurt when it’s someone innocent then turn and say the opposite when it’s someone they hate?
Look at comments when pedos go to jail.
It’s there. Every time.
But those people that wish other humans such bad stuff are most likely not the same people as those who wish that nobody gets hurt. There are many people in the planet and only few comment on posts. And often comments are written out of emotion and not rational. And people who see one kind of posts may not see the other kind of posts due to filter they have set, which as well creates bias. Always remember that.
I guess that’s a good point. I can’t guarantee the same people are switching opinions as I thought
One person on the internet: “one thing”
A different internet person: “the opposite of that”
You: “Everyone on the internet is a hypocrite”
Most people saying anything around those lines doesn’t actually care about justice or doing the right thing, they just want someone to come to harm, and it not be their fault or responsibility.
It’s like anonymity online. As long as they aren’t directly involved they are fine with it.
Weird. I’ve seen so many calls for this or that to someone while in jail and just get absolutely roasted in the comments.
The justiceporn community is a weird bunch that haven’t matured past 16 and watch “reality” TV in record numbers.
This is the second time this week I’ve come across someone equating two very different stances held by people in the same group to everyone in the group holding both opinions
A friendly reminder that groups aren’t real, they’re in our heads - every group is just a bunch of individual people.
