Comment They have no accuracy (Score 2) 44

There is a story about how dealer plates have small numbers on them that Flock cameras do not see. The system then accuses people of car theft.

They are proven as not reliable. If I were a judge I would rule that the police must treat Flock camera information as an unreliable, anonymous source. No drawing guns on people tracked or accused because of Flock information and their info cannot be used to obtain a warrant.

When we entered the Atomic age, there was a movement to use it for everything. Use reactors in cars and homes, use bombs to dig holes, etc. etc. Eventually we learned that no, we do not to put a nuclear reactor in vehicles that routinely crash, get stolen by children, and carry children.

The same thing is going on with AI - people keep using it for things that are incredibly stupid.

AI's are more like friendly dogs that can speak English, than adult human beings. I suspect they will never be as trustworthy as a 17 year old orphan. If you would not give authority or control to a 17 year old orphan you just met, then do not give it to an AI.

This includes:

control over more money than you would give a 17 year old.

the ability to delete computer files

the ability to set prices

guns

any military weapon more deadly than a hand gun.

Look, I hate to even write this because the apologism (to paraphrase "Yeah, but it wasn't all that violent") should invalidate what you're saying automatically - sure, the degree might matter, but it's still clearly over the line - but the summary did use the term "violently smashed". Now, you could say that's exaggeration, or there's another side of the story, etc. What I can tell you anecdotally, though it's not about a creampie, is about the time someone smashed an egg on my back. Or, that is, they tried to, but they hit pointy end (and these were also farm fresh eggs with much stronger shells than modern factory-farmed eggs) first where the eggs have tremendous structural strength, so it was like being hit by a pointy rock that stayed completely intact and then fell and smashed on the floor. The idea that the thing is just soft and harmless can be a misconception. The same goes for a pie. It depends somewhat on whether the pie tin is foil or solid metal, for example. But also on how hard the person is swinging the pie and whether they keep pushing and grinding it in, etc. after (because you know some people really, really will, and quite hard). Basically, you're talking about a punch in the face, barely cushioned by the cream pie. Whichever way you look at it, this is hazing and bullying and it's wrong.

Some things are impossible, but this one is easy to solve. If you don't want an LLM to explain how to synthesize cocaine or sabotage a commercial aircraft navigation system, DON'T PUT THAT IN THE TRAINING DATA.

You and Fred and Losers, that is why you're both so upset. You know you'd be on the pie end of things because you're always on the pie end of things arn't you. Fucking cucks

See, this is one of those "quiet part out loud" things. Where a little outburst pretty much proves that your previous claims that this sort of thing is "good natured" is quite simply a lie. It pretty much is all about singling someone out for abusive bullying for you.

Submission + - Does Growing Food Reduce your Petroleum Foorprint More Than an EV? (youtube.com) 1

Skystrider writes: Paul Wheaton, author and gardener, asks if we can really reduce our petroleum footprint.

explore practical ways to reduce our petroleum footprint beyond simply driving less or buying a more efficient vehicle. By looking at where petroleum is actually used—from transportation to food production—the discussion challenges conventional advice and highlights lifestyle changes that can have a far greater impact.

Instead of focusing on sacrifice, are there solutions that improve quality of life while dramatically reducing petroleum consumption? Sharing resources, growing food, shortening supply chains, and building stronger local communities can reduce thousands of gallons of petroleum use each year, demonstrating that regenerative living can be both more resilient and more rewarding.
