again, you see privacy as a luxury, not a right. What if your Cole’s installed cameras in their toilets? It’s on their property, is that ok?
In my mind, I don’t give many thoughts to the actual camera recording, it’s who’s in charge of the recordings. Who’s storing them and where? Optus thought they were well protected and many people not being “wankers” had their data taken. I understand you think bad stuff only happens to bad people but the reality is, it happens to everyone. Mix this with facial tune and ai generated images and your data becomes infinitely more valuable. Emails claiming to be from a Nigerian prince wanting to send you money now become random / blackmail where someone has a video of you doing something horrible that they will release if you don’t pay up.
Well there was a lot if gobbledygook there.
Firstly privacy in your home is a right, in public it is not, you obviously believe privacy in public is a right, maybe time to enter the world of reality.
And cameras in toilets then you would have a reason to complain, and a cameras watching what you might put in your pocket or what you don’t scan at the checkout is completely different to one in toilets, don't use that balderdash as a comparison for privacy.
Data taken is the same as a thief entering your property and stealing from you, there will always be people who want to take from others, what will you do to combat that, maybe install good locks and maybe security cameras, though locks and cameras won't prevent it just lessen the risk, better just never leave home again then.
Emails from Nigerian Princes have been circulating at random for a very, very, very long time, and AI has little to do with it, just simply need an email address, in fact scams have been around a very, very, very long time.
If you associate AI with scams you should never have given your email address to anyone or even ventured onto the internet in the first place, use cash for every purchase and avoid venturing out too often, once when we purchased things from a magazine we would give out our name, address and sometimes credit card details and guess what some of them were scams, and anyone could do that, didn't need any special skills, and they just disappeared into the sunset to set up the scam again. so what's so different, you should be aware of the risks you take.
And how will someone have a video of you doing something horrible unless you actually did something horrible, don't be so naive, even before AI, internet and today's technology someone could claim they had photos of you doing something horrible, and if you didn't do anything horrible why would you care, that whole claim against AI just makes no sense at all.
Everything has a risk, we choose what risks to take and most online risks we are willing to cop for the convenience it gives us until it inconveniences us, then we whine about it and everything is a conspiracy.
