I was personally shot once and the AI wearable I always have next to my heart stopped the bullet! Thanks AI!

[–] sureshot0@discuss.online 2 points 33 minutes ago

Wait, didn't one of the main AI chatbots recently convince a white kid to murder a bunch of people?

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 hour ago

How long will it take until they turn Minority Report into reality? "The AI said you were going to commit an act of terrorism/murder/robbery, so we'll jail you before you cause any harm"

[–] TerdFerguson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I suppose it's a possibility.

Here's an example of where OpenAI sort of failed to do that but maybe could have... https://globalnews.ca/news/11676795/tumbler-ridge-school-shooter-chatgpt-account-flagged-banned-openai/

Kash Patel is an idiot, though, and just saying shit with no factual basis supporting his claims.

[–] parson0@startrek.website 3 points 2 hours ago

It shows that he has outsourced his few remaining braincell's job to chatgpt.

shouldve used it to look for, is eyes correctible surgery.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 hours ago

It sure sounds like all of those shootings were actually stopped my tips made to the FBI but okay.

I have a lion in the house and it has never been hit by a meteor therefore lions prevent meteor impacts.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I like AI, and encourage its adoption by people. However, I am 100% certain that AI hasn't prevented school shootings. In fact, I will go as far to say that the Trump administration has solely used it to harm people, schoolchildren included. We got bloodied backpacks proving that.

Kash stinks.

350 school shootings in one year??!
Bloody hell that's nearly one shooting every day

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 5 points 1 hour ago

Counting holiday it is more.

Some memorable quotes:

Speaking to Sean Hannity, Patel claimed that artificial intelligence was never used at the FBI until the second Trump administration.

Patel added: “What’s the point of collecting terabytes of data if you can’t sift through it?”​

“I’ve got every major tech company in the world embedded in the FBI, rebuilding our internet capabilities, our classified systems, and the ability for artificial intelligence to be in our counterterrorism program so we can get instantaneous results,” he said.

​“The former FBI rejected that notion because they knew…that wasn’t their focus,” he said, referring to the implementation of A.I.

This guy must be half-blind from slapping back his entire supply of cheap bourbon because he can’t see a single red flag in any of these statements. I realize a fascist techno-dystopia has been the plan all along, but even after the last 10 years the hubris still astonishes me.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

collecting terabytes of data

Also, fwiw, this is probably off by about 7 or 8 orders of magnitude.

When I watched Brasil way back when, I wondered how society could slip into such a nonsensical distopia .

I'm guessing this is a pretty good step in that direction.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 24 points 13 hours ago

This is such a security nightmare I can't even begin to comprehend it, bad ideas on so many levels that he's hit a glitch screen.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 156 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

He really can’t be that stupid… can he?

Oh wait nevermind, don’t answer that.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 74 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

It's not the case that everybody who loves AI is stupid and lazy.

But boy stupid lazy people all seem to love it...

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 41 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

It’s like how not all republicans are racist, but all racists are republican

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

the ones that arnt voting republicans but are racists, are basically republicans that arnt out loud about it. you can see many come out of the woodworks as a "republican" when they knew it was safe financially/ PR wise because of trump.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago

Maybe in the past but at this point all Republicans are racist.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 14 hours ago

AIs are the first thing they meet in their life, that tell them that they are super smart

When you can see the stupid on their face, it's going to be epic stupid.

The idiot doesn't fall far from the president.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

he idolizes trump, and even wrote a book about him, and wokeness.

No, he actual is that stupid. He’s an extremely, shockingly stupid person. Also, absolutely no ethics or morals whatsoever.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 21 points 15 hours ago (12 children)

Fat, drunk, and stupid used to be no way to go through life. Now it's the bare minimum for government employment.

There have been at least 24 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of April 28. Nine were on a college campus, and 15 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left at least 14 people dead and 17 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

and this is good

Even After Two Massacres, OpenAI Still Hasn’t Stopped ChatGPT From Helping Plan School Shootings It's practically begging to help people plan mass shootings.

The URL of that last article you linked is SO misleading!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 12 points 15 hours ago

ChatGPT...where is the closest bar?

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 4 points 12 hours ago

Maybe he's "using AI" to refer the IP address of people using AI to plan school shootings to the FBI?

Still hasn't materialized in lack of shootings this year, when are they supposed to stop now?

Well, that's a relief. I'd rather have AI making decisions than this putz, and I hate AI.

[–] tgcoldrockn@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

AI isn't some ethical being. Its overseer code by fascist authors who will nail your butt if you are on their radar.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

As pointless and useless as "AI" is, I'd still trust it over anyone in this administration.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 22 points 15 hours ago

I'm getting the impression they're the same picture.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 8 points 14 hours ago

"AI is great!"
