A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm.

Allen was handcuffed at gunpoint. Police later showed him the AI-captured image that triggered the alert. The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.

Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended”

"yeah this time it wasn't a gun, but the kid is black for Christ's sake, what did you expect us to do? So obviously its functioning as intended."

This is pretty much my takeaway as well

It successfully got a false positive that resulted in a black kid getting swarmed by police. Job well done, amirite?

The purpose of a system is what it does, indeed.
