#Google Is Helping the #Trump Administration Deploy #AI Along the #MexicanBorder

Google is part of a Customs and Border Protection plan to use machine learning for #surveillance, documents reviewed by The Intercept reveal.

by Sam Biddle, April 3 2025

Excerpt: "#IBM will provide its Maximo Visual Inspection software, a tool the company generally markets for industrial quality control inspections — not tracking humans. #Equitus is offering its #VideoSentinel, a more traditional video surveillance analytics program explicitly marketed for border surveillance that, according to a promotional YouTube video, recently taken offline, featuring a company executive, can detect 'people walking caravan style … some of them are carrying backpacks and being identified as mules.'

"'Within 60 days from the start of the project, real life video from the southern border is available to train and create #AI / #ML models to be used by the Equitus Video Sentinel.'"

The Intercept · Google Is Helping the Trump Administration Deploy AI Along the Mexican BorderVon Sam Biddle

Lol I got a cheap Android to house the apps that my employer forces me to use (I'm not putting them on my real phone, obviously), and after powering on the device for the first time and spending like an hour stripping all the permissions, Google won't let me turn it off without signing into a Google account. The power button just brings up a sign-in screen - you can back out of it, but there's no way to turn the phone off.

Interacting with Google makes me feel the same way interacting with abusive family members and partners has. What fucking creepy, coercively controlling stalkers Googlers are.

I love GrapheneOS so much 💖

@fradie_new gefährlich ist an der Stelle eher das Wissen das Google über uns hat.. zusammen mit der Integration auf Endgeräten in unseren Taschen. Allerdings wird die LLM Geschichte teuer für Google werden... wenn sie kein Kartell hinbekommen. Sie müssen ihre Suche komplett ersetzen und es kostenlos zur verfügung stellen.

"Ich verwende #Google nicht."

sondern: ich lass #Google verwenden?

Dass ihr mit euren Alternativen klarkommt!?

Im Zusammenhang mit dem ND-Artikel in dem anderen Beitrag, wonach angeblich rote Winkel als Symbol heute noch populär sein sollen, ist mir ein User aus dem Usenet eingefallen, der in seiner Signatur einen ASCII-WInkel hatte und dazu den Text "bitte rosa ausmalen".

Das wollte ich mir nochmal ansehen. Mit euren Alternativen habe ich aber nichts (mit vertretbarem Aufwand) gefunden, obwohl die ja auch auf Google zurückgreifen.

Can’t escape the slop

I disabled #AI assist on #DuckDuckGo, but even when I do, I still get a bunch of search results that point me to 100% AI-generated web pages. Nowadays anyone can just fuzz search engines like #Google for lists of commonly searched queries, then generate slop responses to these queries, then cache the slop, and then use shady SEO techniques to get these slop pages to show up at the top of search results. And this is what I have been getting from a lot of my web searches lately, content from slop shops.

A part of me thinks companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon may themselves be investing in these shady slop shops to deliberately make traditional search engines useless, which would “incentivize” people to use #LLM -based AI like Gemini or #ChatGPT more often, though that is purely speculation on my part.

If you had asked my 20 years ago that the #Internet of the future would rapidly devolve and become increasingly useless as time went on, I would have dismissed you as a paranoid crackpot. Here we are in the future and I still can hardly believe how shitty technology is becoming.
