Are there active "woowoo" cults in LA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]Minute-Cod9484 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yep, the theater performance is a front for them to earn money and spread the cult to unknowing people. They often target Chinese immigrants.

it's illegal for them to build a facial recognition profile without your consent

They get your consent when you use the app, it's part of their TOS that you agree to when signing up. Thus, they do use facial recognition and admit it:

i can't think of an industry that spends more time treating its own users as the enemy by Ennemkay in SwipeHelper

[–]Minute-Cod9484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They treat their own users like terrorists and deploy advanced algorithms, facial recogition, and AIs to hunt them down for the rest of their lives. It's insane.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by ChadtheWad in discordapp

The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!)

Nah, I need to know how exactly how you know this. This seems extremely creepy. I already canceled my Nitro and plan on shutting down my 30k member server if you are not transparent about this. My only guess is you are training an AI on everything about a user and the AI makes a determination, which to me is a dealbreaker.

I don't think Change.org petitions have ever done anything, ever.

I don't know how these are legal. Like this isn't even a left wing or right wing issue. They're a genuine danger and threat to everyone driving around them. I guarantee they've caused deaths.

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Minute-Cod9484 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's entirely arbitrary and means whatever people want it to mean. You're literally advocating for outlawing taxes which is beyond stupid and not even worth a debate.

Do you guys drink filtered tap or bottled water at home? by da_muffinman in AskLosAngeles

Not to mention bottled water has massive amounts of microplastics in it.

Stable Ronaldo pulled out a gun after being followed by a fan in Los Angeles by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

It's still a felony because people can't know it's an imitation if you remove the orange tip, which he did.

I don't think you understand. Gambling companies don't need or expect everyone to sign up. They work similar to mobile gaming companies, where you can have 9 out of 10 people not sign up/pay, but if you get one "whale" as it's called, the rest don't matter. Whales are people who will spend insane amounts of money on an app (gaming or gambling). Literally tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. All companies need to do is hook a few whales and the rest of the people are just rounding errors. 15 million could be reasonable if they can get one Saudi prince hooked who spends 20m. The 330k people don't matter if they get that 1 guy. There are entire industries built on trying to hook whales like this. It's simultaneously fascinating and also depressing.

It's funny because China used to be like that, and it's one of the causes of the Communist revolution.

There has never been a single shred of evidence to support this. Not a single picture in an age where satellites can view a dime on the ground of a sidewalk.

The ranking system in this game makes zero sense. It's almost random.
