Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,” saying its purpose is to “prioritize safety and awareness through rapid human verification.”
What?? How is it prioritizing safety if it did exactly the opposite and created an unsafe environment (a bunch of US cops with guns pointed at teens)?
In 2021, writer and game designer Alex Blechman inadvertently created a meme:
Sci-Fi Author: "In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale."
Tech Company: "At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus!"
AI is a big component of the new and improved Torment Nexus which is coming along nicely.
Look out! He's got a whole bag full of ninja throwing triangles!
Essentially this AI is a racist markov chain that can be simplified:
Skin colour = dark -> something in his hand = true -> result = A WEAPON A WEAPON!!!
It is doing good work replacing the police's job of racially profiling minorities. Very efficient.
Drop the weapon!
AI detection system detects black person.
WONTFIX: Working as intended.
Shows the importance of having a human in the loop.
And since the police vetted the image properly they shouldn't be afraid of publishing it, right?
SIR, WE CAUGHT HIM RED HANDED
This could have been prevented if armed 'protection' drones had been installed at the school. The cops could have just stayed in the donut shop while the drones swarmed the student.
Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,”
A black person gets harassed by police without reason. System is functioning as intended, indeed.
Don't worry guys, they're only putting these AI cameras in literally every city and doing it in shady ways without anyone knowing. And false flags like this happen very frequently.
Cops not thinking and reliant on system to judge is how we get to psycho pass timeline
Student afraid to return to school after AI sends police after him
that is quite a 21st century title
If it was Skittles he'd be dead
This is even more embarrassing than when airport security mistook a medal of honor from a ww2 veteran (Joe Foss if I am not mistaken) as a ninja star-like weapon and held him up for a long ass time.
This is a Risk we MUST Take to PROTECT our Second Amendment!
-Republicans who Support Trump's ELIMINATION of the Right To Protest, Right To Speech, Two Term Limit, . . .
Dangerously cheesy
Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,”
“We understand how upsetting this was for the individual that was searched as well as the other students who witnessed the incident,” the principal wrote. “Our counselors will provide direct support to the students who were involved.”
Wonderful non-answer showing zero remorse. Good to know that the students at Kenwood High School in Baltimore should absolutely not go to school, unless they want to be another statistic of armed officers shooting kids. The school is outright declaring they'd do it again like The Punisher throwing a fit in court.
I, and most everyone I know, would 100% be crumpling up chip bags into vague shapes of guns and making it a pain in the ass for them to keep checking.
Doritos, This much flavor should be illegal.
You're welcome lays, I'll take $200k for the idea.
It's crazy how LLM's and AI have arrived, and immediately started depriving us of dignity, autonomy, and financial independence... And nobody is doing shit about it.
The largest reason for this is that Donald Trump and the GOP are in power. They've actually been eroding what little safeguards had been erected.
We are all going to suffer while rich assholes destroy this world. All of us except the very, very top.
Have they said sorry once?
I once mistook a bag of Doritos for the president of the USA…no, wait…it was a bag of Cheetos…wait, no, actually it was one Cheeto, one GIGANTIC Cheeto (I think?!)
No one ever says "sorry" or apologise for stuff like this. Guess its an admitance of guilt or wrongdoing and means you are liable. This way they can fight the court system... Or rather not since the parents probably can't afford a civil claim.
Fuck this litigious age we live in.
The Doritos apocalypse has begun. I new this day would come.
Are we sure it was just the bag of Doritos that the AI misclassified?
finally an article whose text is just as oniony
bring the strangest objects you can find into public spaces.
We are taking orders from machines? At whose behest?
I mean the ARE pretty spicy. /s Sez the guy who just started a batch of habanero hot sauce. smh
I faintly recall there was a news article about someone who was gunned down by cops mistaking a foil-wrapped sandwich for a gun.
Made me think of the beginning of the movie Brazil.
The ai was actually a Blue dorito bag
Is this ..... Harassment?
You guys don't understand, he was holding ninja stars! /s
... Why did dexerto file this under "Entertainment"
