Tortillas are as American as anything can be so it's normal that anti-American trump would flag them.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Its not trump that flags them but I wouldn't be surprised if its his support network of billionaire tech oligarchs

My post was a joke. In reality, identifying a bag of Doritos for a weapon sounds like the kind of mistake AI image recognition software can make. (and humans too - police have mistaken toys for actual weapons).

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.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Are we sure it was just the bag of Doritos that the AI misclassified?

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 20 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

Best thing is to use Open Source AI if people must since those are way better than the proprietary ones

SIR, WE CAUGHT HIM RED HANDED

[-] cjoll4@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Red-handed, or orange-fingered?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

If it was Skittles he'd be dead

M&Ms and that's a guaranteed cavity search

That joke was dangerously cheesy.... +1

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 day ago

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, . . .

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

That is what he said

They’re also openly looking to create gun registry’s and strip gun rights from certain populations like trans people

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

bring the strangest objects you can find into public spaces.

Based compliance

AI detection system detects black person.

WONTFIX: Working as intended.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 23 hours ago

I turned on the person detection on our Nest doorbell at work. Well-lit interior hallway.

It was useful because when the bell rang, it would tell you who was waiting.

White staff, 95%+ accuracy

If your skintone was even light mocha, you were all lumped together under one person. Male, Female, no difference.

We had some Korean people fly in for an event, they were all lumped together with one of our employees.

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] KelvarCherry 16 points 1 day ago

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.

RoboCop fucking timeline

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago
[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 5 points 1 day ago

That was just a minor glitch. Also who even liked Kenny anyway?

[-] Onsotumenh@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Now correctly identifies the dropped doritos bag.
Drop the weapon!

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 27 points 1 day ago

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.

Straight to jail

[-] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 189 points 1 day ago

I should be shocked that eight cops looked at a picture of a black kid holding a bag of doritos in his hand and agreed that it was a gun. why am I not shocked?

"The AI gave just us go-ahead, boys. Open fire!"

We are taking orders from machines? At whose behest?

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 67 points 1 day ago

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.

Made me think of the beginning of the movie Brazil.

[-] CleoCommunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago
