“We might hope that keeping our own data private could protect each of us from unwanted outcomes. But A.I. doesn’t need to know what you have been doing; it only needs to know what people like you have done before,” Maximilian Kasy writes.

For those not in Chicago: It would be hard to overstate how broad & intense the public reaction & activity against ICE’s kidnappings are. This is a movement of everyday people who are going to do everything in their admittedly limited power to make it harder for these people to take their neighbors.
This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.
