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.
Tortillas are as American as anything can be so it’s normal that anti-American trump would flag them.
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).
I was workshopping the joke. Imo its the media that’s gone crazy about everything and trump is largely playing along; his most successful job is as a reality tv host/actor.
Are we sure it was just the bag of Doritos that the AI misclassified?
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.
SIR, WE CAUGHT HIM RED HANDED
Red-handed, or orange-fingered?
Definitely orange.
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!”
That’s unironically already been happening in Gaza for years now, and will now happen everywhere Palantir is used.
This is the premise of the video game Long Gone Days and the Netflix episode Black Mirror: Men Against Fire.
Gunshots By Computer, Saul Williams / NiN.
Welcome to Year Zero.
I hate every one of these replies.
Welcome to hyperreality, enjoy your stay!
Also, there is no way to leave.
I’m not convinced they looked at anything. The AI sounded the alert and they peeled rubber.
Minority report
Minority report had a specialist review the footage and present the case to
threetwo witnesses who teleconferenced in andapproved the arrestwitnessed the investigation before sending in the troops.So this is not that dystopian cautionary tale. It’s worse.
Edit: re-watched the intro. The witnesses watched, but the police arrested the perp on their own accord. One of the witnesses is a judge though. So I guess it’s a pretty well supervised process.
I was making a dumb joke. The ai reported a minority…
“Computer says” is enough confirmation for most people.
Yeah, that’s the sketch that always comes to my mind when it comes to people in positions of authority and computers.
Its cops. They just saw a black kid and figured they could plant a dime bag or a toy train after the fact.
You see to the untrained ear Choo Choo sounds like shoot! shoot!
They probably just trusted the AI. Like everyone else is doing for some reason.
It was in his pocket, the pocket bulge was picked up as a probable gun.
Notoriously gun shaped bags, Doritos, the shitty system definitely doesn’t just flag anything.
I am shocked that (thankfully) they didn’t shoot him.
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
Best best thing is to have fucking human oversight over a machine telling us something.
Sure, having (supposedly) unbiased model running without third-party opaque interference is great, but LLM will always be statistical machines, by design. Nothing it does have value if it’s not checked by something that’s smart enough, and aside from deterministic outcomes we can express with pure logic, that requires a human.
If it was Skittles he’d be dead
M&Ms and that’s a guaranteed cavity search
AI detection system detects black person.
WONTFIX: Working as intended.
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.
Drop the weapon!
Now correctly identifies the dropped doritos bag.
Drop the weapon!That was just a minor glitch. Also who even liked Kenny anyway?
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.
Appreciate the source
Dangerously cheesy
That joke was dangerously cheesy… +1
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.
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, . . .
They’re also openly looking to create gun registry’s and strip gun rights from certain populations like trans people
That is what he said
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.
It wasn’t even in his hand.
The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.
This was a good kid who crumbled up the bag and stuck it in his pocket instead of littering, and he gets traumatized by a bunch of cops for it. Hell, he could have lost his life if an acorn had fallen at the wrong moment.
Ah okay.
In protest, everyone in that school should walk around with rulers, wrappers, bottles and other things sticking out of their pockets to trigger the system.
For fucks sake in 2002 I and all the other FFA kids went to school with knives and/or multitools clipped to our belts.
My principal saw Schrade Switch-It clipped to my pants and thought it was a pager, and sternly admonished me not to bring my “pager” to school anymore.
Righty-o, man, no pager, I told him. No problem.
What a toolbox.
In the 80s, my Mom’s redneck ass school allowed all the dudes that hunted to keep their guns in their pickup truck gun racks. Which were very visible.
Yup. Late 80s/early 90s The only rule my high school had was that if you brought your guns to school, you had to park in the ‘smokers lot’ since it wasn’t technically on the same property as the school building.
It was just as it sounds, the lot across the street for the students to smoke during class breaks (the teachers were allowed to smoke in the teachers lounge).
