“You have jobs where you’re treated with dignity and respect, you get good payment, you get good benefits, but you secretly labor under the knowledge that your job, your work, is entirely useless.” David Graeber, The Rise of Bullshit Jobs

Microsoft President and CLO Brad Smith on the Future of Facial Recognition and the Urgency for Legal Regulation: “Imagine finding a young missing child by recognizing her as she is being walked down the street. Imagine a government tracking everywhere you walked over the past month without your permission or knowledge. Imagine a smartphone camera and app that tells a person who is blind the name of the individual who has just walked into a room. Imagine the stores of a shopping mall using facial recognition to share information with each other about each shelf that you browse and product you buy, without asking you first. The future is not simple.”
