AI is the most dangerous thing man has ever invented...
We all need to be very aware that what nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 is describing here is not some distant dystopian future. It's our dystopian reality.
In May, Elliptic, together with researchers from MIT and IBM, developed a dataset to identify "the shape of money laundering" on the blockchain.
This dataset attempts to predict money laundering activity that has "not yet been labeled" by distinguishing between what the dataset defines as "anomalous signatures" and Bitcoin transfers between "licit services".
Falling out of these clusters deemed normal by intelligence financed corporations already leaves you penalized. Avoid KYC services? Flagged. Can't tie your transactions to a bank account? Flagged. Frequent user of coinjoins? Flagged.
You are already being debanked because a computer program has decided that you are a money launderer – not because you did something illegal, but because your transactions are deemed abnormal – and you have no legal recourse as suspicious activity reports swear financial institutions to absolute secrecy.
It's the full on criminalization of privacy in finance. The future is here, and it's Orwellian.
Discussion
We haven't invented AI yet, don't fall for the marketing... These are LLMs
Is that statement meant to make the use of LLMs (and the evolution of AI) somehow acceptable and "safe"?
AI is THE MOST DANGEROUS THING man has ever invented...
No, but if you get defensive just for me giving you context... It's obvious I shouldn't waste my time having this conversation.
Not being defensive, just being truthful...
Folks who are comfortable with AI really don't realize the threat it poses...
It's really the same thing as "I have nothing to hide"....
Unfortunately, sticking your head in the sand hoping the problem goes away rarely works....
