"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

Lawton Chiles Middle School in Oviedo went into lockdown Tuesday.

Its AI weapons detection system detected a student holding a clarinet in a similar manner as someone might hold a rifle. It “triggered the Code Red to activate,” the school’s principal told families in an automated message.

It's so sad. And here is some food for thought. Change my view:

All these drills will cause more kids to think a school shooting is a viable idea when they can't take bullying or abuse any longer. This causes more dead children in the long run then any drill is able to prevent.

Not to talk about all the other psychological problems this creates for young children (living in fear...).

It's like these anti drug campaigns that were held in schools in the 80/90s; DARE

Students who went through DARE weren’t any less likely to do drugs than the students who didn’t. In fact, there’s some well-regarded research that some groups of students were actually more likely to do drugs if they went through DARE.

People just don't understand how the brain works. Ideas grow instead of shrinking if you think about them.

If you want to stop smoking, it's ineffective to say to yourself "I don't want to smoke", because this manifests the thoughts about smoking.

Publish a book about suicide and suicide rates increase in the population.

This is common knowledge, but still we tell kids with weekly drills that a school shooting is something that can likely happen. And just a few will take this as the basis for their horrible actions. And others suffer from useless fear they got instilled.
