Here are the Real Dangers of the AI/Woke World By Brian Simpson
This story brings together the dangers of Left-wing woke, and Big Tech. An Amazon delivery man, presumably non-white, was delivering a parcel to a home. This man had on his head phones, but still thought he heard a racial slur coming from the home. He reported this, and Amazon locked the account, just on his say so, and the man was locked out of his home. He home owner was not even home at the time. The moral of the story is that diverse folk will be hearing racial slurs even from empty houses, so it is a real danger to have a house so fully connected to the regime’s IT, in the crazy world of woke.
“This story sounds like it comes straight from a dystopian sci-fi novel.
A man found himself locked out of his smart house powered by Amazon because, while he wasn't home, an Amazon delivery driver mistakenly thought he heard a racist remark come from the man's doorbell, reported it to Amazon, and Amazon immediately locked down the account, locking the man out of his home.
Here's what the man accused of racism wrote on Medium:
When I connected with the executive, they asked if I knew why my account had been locked. When I answered I was unsure, their tone turned somewhat accusatory. I was told that the driver who had delivered my package reported receiving racist remarks from my "Ring doorbell."
It turns out that a delivery driver with headphones on imagined he heard something racist from the doorbell, but the owner of the house wasn't even home when the event happened.
He also had cameras all over the property that showed that he was totally innocent.
I reviewed the footage and confirmed that no such comments had been made. Instead, the Eufy doorbell had issued an automated response: "Excuse me, can I help you?" The driver, who was walking away and wearing headphones, must have misinterpreted the message. Nevertheless, by the following day, my Amazon account was locked, and all my Echo devices were logged out.
How insane is this? They locked the man out of his own home from Thursday, May 25, to Wednesday, May 31, 2023.
In the end, my account was unlocked on Wednesday, with no follow-up email to inform me of the resolution.
It's 2023 y'all. Corporations can now lock you out of your home and completely shut down your life if they think you're racist.”
