I'm so glad I don't 'sideload' anything, never learned how. I have been installing software since the 90s though and it's pretty much the same as always.
Joke aside, it really seems more like 'sideloading' when you go to a store, to ask it to install something on your phone instead of just installing it directly on the device.
I agree for the most part, but if we are all walking around in jumpsuits and helmets (Daft Punk style) and repeating the digital beacons of everyone else it seems like false positives are a skill issue for AI. Not too long ago I was watching a video about a guy that was a 100% match in the eyes of AI as someone that was trespassed by the casino. When the cops showed up and he presented his documents, the cops brought him to the station as they thought he must have given false ID when he was originally trespassed. He was eventually able to prove his innocence but the fact he was taken into custody because AI messed up makes me have no issue with people doing stuff to intentionally poison the data.
None of this matters in the present context though because just by wearing that you would be easily identifiable.
