ACAB doesn't mean every single cop on an individual level is a morally bankrupt shithead. (a lot of them are, but that's beside the point).
even if you are the kindest samaritan cop in the world who never hurt a fly, being a cop means that you are a part of the system that is designed for violence, for oppression and inequality and has a long bigoted history that spans to this day. you choose to associate with it, even if you don't realize the implications.

@mynameistillian I have a genuine question: What about those who would seek change from within? When I see officials resigning because of something awful, I always wonder why they don't stay on and fight against it, instead of handing the reins to someone who is blatantly malevolent. It's the same sort of deal here, from my perspective.

@hosford42 i think it highly depends on how much change we're speaking of here and how many and how much people are involved.
i find the law enforcement as a structure that has been built to support hierarchy and inequality, because it rests on backing up the will of the ruling class by violence against the citizens. also it doesn't address the causes of crime. to make this system different one would have to transform it until it is no longer recognizable.

They resign because the systems are so fundamentally broken and enables such egregious levels of corruption that it's way too much for one person to fight it and it's just easier to resign.
Having been in public safety before, I have witnessed firsthand as well as been on the receiving end of such egregious levels of corruption. The level of stress was severe enough to cause me PTSD.

@hosford42 i admire it when people try to change things from within, but there's only so much leeway you can get to change things when a system that necessitated said things to happen is still in place. the rich and the government benefit from having the police, from being able to arrest protesters and throw them in jail, spy on its citizens and so on and so forth.

@mynameistillian Once upon a time there was a good cop. His name was Christopher Dorner. There quite probably have been others but you don't hear their names because they don't successfully fight back against their erasure when the system invariably expels them for not violating their principles, or, they adjust their principles and become bastard cops.

therefore any attempts at radical change are going to be kneecapped without strong, massive action. and if change happens, whatever comes out on the other end might not be even right to call police at all. it probably would focus on restorative action rather than punitive and it would have to look very differently.
forgive if i am incoherent it's kinda 2 am here, but my point is, how much can you polish something before it stops being a turd?

@hosford42 like at which point the consequences of someone's active participation in an unjust system become outweighed by the change they made? i hardly feel like one person can do this even if they're really sincere about it. and should they really be a part of said system to be able to change it?

you can be a perfectly kind good person and still work a bastard job because said job needs some kind of inequality or oppression or injustice to exist
you can be the sweetest landlord ever but it's still a bastard occupation to have, because you make money by benefiting from a system where housing is not a right but a commodity to be paywalled
that's the crux of the problem. it's not about you as an individual, it's about you in relation to society

@someguy @hosford42 @mynameistillian
They resign or sometimes are just straight up killed. A few years back an LAPD officer who was investigating rape accusations against other officers was beaten to death by his fellow officers "by accident" in a "training exercise". -

even if you are trying to make positive change, a lot of people in the police *revel* in cruelty they do. they *like* it. they don't give a shit. some of them themselves walk over the laws that they would toss anybody in the jail for life for. and a lot of cops have a twisted sense of solidarity in the sense that they cover each other's cruel acts up

@hosford42@techhub.social @mynameistillian@plush.city ur question is basically answered by op. its not that the guy is a bastard (many extremely radical political views still study the struggles of cops as part of the working class), it's just the role they're playing by being a cop. they can still do whatever is in their means as a person, but at the end of the day they clock in to bastard office to be a bastard.

@mynameistillian I won't (since those are very valid points). I might read later with popcorn. Though I hope it does not come to that.

Lâ invio di soldati europei in Groenlandia non è una âbarzellettaâ, come sostiene Crosetto. Ă un segnale serio della volontĂ di non farsi calpestare dallâ imposizione degli interessi USA. Irridere questo tentativo, certamente fragile e inadeguato, significa avere scelto di puntare, come Italia, a raccattare le briciole della spartizione invece di giocare un ruolo come Unione Europea.

Moxie Marlinspike, lâingegnere dietro Signal, sta testando un nuovo progetto: Confer, un assistente basato su intelligenza artificiale con crittografia end-to-end. Lâidea è quella di applicare agli LLM lo stesso approccio che ha reso Signal un riferimento per la messaggistica privata.
Confer si basa su due elementi principali: le passkey, che oltre allâautenticazione permettono di derivare le chiavi crittografiche (conservate solo sul dispositivo), e un ambiente di esecuzione fidato (TEE) lato server, dove i dati vengono elaborati in forma cifrata senza che nemmeno gli amministratori possano accedervi.
PerchĂŠ serve unâalternativaCome riporta Ars Technica, lo scorso maggio un tribunale ha ordinato a OpenAI di conservare tutti i log delle conversazioni su ChatGPT, incluse quelle cancellate. Sam Altman stesso dâaltronde ha ammesso che neppure le sessioni di psicoterapia sulla piattaforma possono considerarsi davvero private. Marlinspike descrive lâuso attuale dellâIA come âconfessarsi in un lago di datiâ: gli utenti tendono a trattare questi assistenti come confidenti, condividendo pensieri, paure e informazioni sensibili.
Esistono anche altre soluzioni orientate alla privacy, come Lumo di , che cifra le conversazioni a riposo con lo stesso sistema di Proton Mail (anche se lâLLM elabora i messaggi in chiaro prima di âdimenticarliâ). Lâapproccio di Confer con i TEE è tecnicamente diverso e, almeno sulla carta, piĂš robusto.
Tra le alternative câè anche Venice, che adotta un approccio piĂš radicale: non conserva nulla sui propri server, salvando le conversazioni esclusivamente nel browser dellâutente. Il limite? La GPU che elabora le richieste vede comunque i prompt in chiaro d ci si deve fidare che non vengano loggati.
Confer è attualmente in fase di test ed è accessibile via browser (le passkey per lâautenticazione funzionano nativamente su macOS, iOS e Android, mentre su Windows e Linux serve qualche passaggio in piĂš).
