Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
How many times do we need stupid shit like this to happen before enough of us understand that while AI is artificial, it is NOT intelligent?
Nothing will happen unless it happens to someone in power. A random black kid being harassed is exactly the type of person that guys like Steve Miller want harassed.
We made AI that behaves like middle management and assumed that meant that AI was intelligent. It turns out that middle management isn't.
So no one validated the report before responding.
That sounds like work. Besides it's fun to just rough-up some teenager instead of doing boring paperwork!
This news article is missing the statement from the school's principle:
In a statement shared with parents, Principal Katie Smith said the school’s security department had reviewed and canceled a gun detection alert, while Smith (who didn’t immediately realize the alert had been canceled) reported the situation to the school resource officer, who called the local police. https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/25/high-schools-ai-security-system-confuses-doritos-bag-for-a-possible-firearm/
Looks like this system just flags footage for review and humans make the ultimate decision.
I'm not sure how the notification on this flag/event is worded. It's possible that it should be worded differently to express a need to actually look at the footage.
In this case the principle probably jumped into panic mode, or didn't understand the system well enough.
