Upvoted and agreed, not least because I just learned that "all of the sudden," while at present a nonstandard variant of "all of a sudden," has valid history.
And of course it doesn't matter in this casual context!
But in formal writing, in this era, using "a" will avoid distracting the reader from your main point.
Non-Anglo here.
Totally not distracted bcs my brain autocorrected it to “all of a sudden” without even noticing.
A bit like "It deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are"
Also never seen/heard the "the" variant. (Well consciously that is). -

Breaking news!
First animal facial recognition tool invented!
Soon you'll be able to prove another rancher stole some of your cattle,chickens,etc...
For now only works for pigs. -
I think it's mainly LA that is seeing a large invasion of federal forces
No, it’s happening everywhere. But I’ve also seen some significant resistance happening in other cities like NYC, Newark, Portland, Chicago, Seattle, SF, etc.

Is there ski mask recognition software that will work on ICE?

TIL I look quite a bit like 2 LA cops in particular

Now do ICE!
Since they're typically masked, I'd like to see gait recognition serve the working class for once.

"of the sudden" (1570) actually predates "of a sudden" (Shakespeare) according to my OED as squinted at through the nifty magnifying glass. But it's been considered obsolete for a long time despite having all of a sudden experienced a resurgence.
(Note, I modernized the spellings of "sudden" rather than try to switch focus back and forth)
People aren't saying it because they're language scholars, it's because they misheard the proper modern usage. So it goes for many language shifts.
-
What are they so afraid of? They're public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don't like it, get off the government payroll
Because criminals get out of jail and can go after their families. We had someone leave a bomb on the doorstep of a judge in our neighborhood.
-
I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason
There's a reason ICE conceal their faces.
They know what they're doing is wrong and don't want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.

Now do ICE!
I found this link on the internet and have no affiliation:

Maybe this will actually make politicians flip their opinion on AI... lmao
If the Big Beautiful Bill passes it will be extremely hard to regulate.

Highly illegal in Europe, obvs. Looking forward to finding out how this will go in the US.

I was thinking this too! Gait recognition can completely bypass facial coverings as a means of identification, but I also don't think it'll be much help here.
Gait recognition can be bypassed by things as simple as putting a rock in your shoe so you walk differently, so when you think about how much extra heavy gear, different shoes, and different overall movement patterns ICE agents will possibly be engaging in, it might not hold up well at tracking them down, especially since to recognize someone by gait, you'd need footage of them that you can already identify them in, to then train the model on.
In the case of fucklapd.com, this was easy because they could just get public record data for headshot photos, but there isn't a comparable database with names directly tied to it for gait. I will say though, a lot of these undercover agents might be easier to track by gait since they'll still generally be wearing more normal attire, and it might be more possible to associate them with who they are outside of work since it's easier to slip up when you're just wearing normal clothes.

Such a shame. Anyway, I guess we'll have to live with the consequences of technology.

What’s highly illegal in Europe? Taking a photo or using publicly available images to match that photo to?
As far as I know those things are not illegal, although as a Brit I wouldn’t be surprised if they label this terrorism lol

That’s a fair concern to a degree of course even the most fair sentences might have a disgruntled person on the other end of it but a fair justice system that serves and protects its community equally has little to fear overall. When a justice system is unfair, unequal, does not serve or protects its community that risk goes way up however they only have themselves to blame for the increased risk. An occasional crazy is just the price of being a human but if the public in general is against you, you’ve done that to yourself through your own actions

Can't we just embrace adverbification and agree to write "suddenly"?
No! For made up reasons I don’t understand adverbs are verboten!

Taking a photo for that purpose is likely out.
-
Matching it to any publically available images is definitely out.
-
Creating a database of face images for searching: Nope.
-
Using this system is very problematic.
Some of this is because of the GDPR. So it's likely to be illegal in the UK, as well. And some is because of the AI Act (in particular 4. but also 3. to some degree). That's not something that needs to concern Brits.
