It’s a thrill to stand and, raise your arms, maybe give a woo! then sit down again, especially if you’re in a sports stadium. And especially if you’re doing it as part of a Wave.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to an iHeart Podcast. Are there any pictures of you online? Then you could already be in a massive police database without even knowing it. Clearview scrapes together images from Facebook, from LinkedIn, from Venmo accounts. I'm Dexter Thomas, host of Kill Switch, a podcast about how living in the future is affecting us right now.
Police, they are trusting the software with this magical ability to lead them to the right suspect. In this episode, we dive into how cops are using AI and facial recognition and sometimes getting it wrong and putting innocent people behind bars. So if your accuser is this algorithm, but you're not even being told that it was used, let alone given any of the details about how it works.

Hey and welcome to the short stuff. I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Jerry sitting in for Dave. Let's get started with the wave.
I am glad you did this. I was kind of curious about the origins of the old wave. Oh, yeah? I don't know what you mean. Yeah. It's now kind of all over the world in various places, but it started out as an American thing that people would do in the stands at sports games where one bit at a time and all around the whole stadium people would stand up and raise their arms up over their head.
And if you look at it as it goes around the stadium, it looks like a wave is moving across the fans.
Yeah, because after they raised their arms over their head standing up, they would sit back down and the next section would do it and it would just move seamlessly when done correctly. For my money, it's one of the best things that could ever happen to you is to be in a really good wave. Oh my God, I find them so thrilling.
I was really surprised to find that some people not only hate the wave, they're like, they denigrate people who like the wave or who do the wave. Okay. Okay. Don't get it. What do you think about the wave?
I was afraid you were going to ask me that. I knew it. I'm not a waver. Per se. I don't bemoan it. I'm not one of these people that's like, there's a game going on. Nothing like that. I just I got to a certain point where I like I don't want to stand up and throw my arms in the air and wave them like I just don't care.
