"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.

850 cameras holy shit. Are people really okay with this?
They're not given the choice. It's the foie gras method of consent. What are they going to do? Not vote red in Florida? Inconceivable.
Lol, do you think blue officials would do different? It's the one thing they all agree on, surveillance. They'll take the opposition side whenever they aren't in power, but they'll forget that the moment they win.
I don't think it's that deep. It's just ignorant/stupid people falling for clever sales tactics. Most people aren't equipped to evaluate an AI product offering like this, and the salespeople know how to exploit that.
I feel bad for those kids.
i mean there were already security cameras all over my k-12 schools in the 80s and 90s. only unfilmed places were the toilets and maybe part of the yard
Where on earth did you go to school?
bay area, california. we had a gang problem the decade prior. the subsequent decade, not so much. i'd be hesitant about the tradeoff (it was far more than security cameras), but we went from five killings a year to one and that's with population growth.
