It's a good platform to run for office on. Our city is not accountable to it's citizens becuase of the rampant mis-management of our tax dollars. Here's an example, if one of you needed information from the city it could take over a decade to get a result.
I like that she is suing the police, but she needs to sue flock as well. Pain and suffering, libel, whatever you can find to make it stick. I think libel may fit very well here, "falsely accusing someone of criminal conduct is one of the classic categories of defamation per se, where reputational harm can be presumed rather than requiring the plaintiff to prove every dollar of resulting damage".
Claiming that I was the perp in a hit and run and placing me in jail has real harm and they published it to the police force.
Sure: "This plate was observed near a location under investigation." isprobably not defamatory by itself if it is factually true. However, "Registered owner is wanted for burglary." feels very defamatory with real reputatinal and potentially monetary damages. I'd want my lawyer to investigate defamation/libel along with negligence and potentially other constitutional or statutory claims depending on who supplied the data.
Try telling someone how they are wrong rather than simply stating it is wrong.
Currently I know that a single person out of 8 billion disagrees withme.
That happens if I just say the Earth is a sphere, not flat.
Humans use multiple methods of thought.
Faith: (Appeal to Authority)
Science: (Scientific Method)
Formal Logic (If x then y)
Bias: (Appeal to previous examples)
While AI is built on Formal Logic, it does not use it. Instead it uses Bias entirely. It has no faith and does not understand or use the scientific method.
One city found that Flock was incorrect 71% of the times it identified felonies. But they did claim they installed the flock cameras using non-standard methods to avoid certain privacy concerns.
Flock likes to claim a 99+% accuracy under 'ideal' concerns.
I own a Stratego board and play it regularly with my son. We also play it with close family from time to time. It's one of my favorite games. It allows for the right balance of strategy, skill, and adaptation, with just the right amount of luck mixed in. Additionally, even as one may be on the verge of losing, there still exist opportunities to win the game. And because arrangement of pieces can be different every game, and because your pieces are largely unknown to the other player until an attack is made, the element of surprise allows for every game to feel unique and special.
If you haven't played it, I'd encourage you to try it again sometime.
1) I have no children.
2) I was very specific about Asia being a very different culture.
3) I have seen several studies that indicate most abusers come from entitled families and were not themselves abused as a child.
4) You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are NOT entitled to call other's opinion's "nonsense"
People want to have sex. They want children. A low birthrate means there are systematic issues that are stopping it from happening.
Most of the world has a significant cost factor. Raising a child is very expensive. Frankly, I think that the government should pay for minimum pre-natal care as well as basic birth costs. It is in our government's best interests for the children to be born as healthy as possible.
But I do not know if that is the main problem in Singapore. Asia is a radically different culture from ours.
In Korea the problem is a culture of work over family. but that might be the same in Singapore.
Yes, AI programmed by large corporations, are biased in favor of the company that build them.
You use Gemini (made by Googled) it will favor Youtube (owned by Google) videos over other content.
And yes, it will push the political beliefs of Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Sundar Pichai.
They try to be subtle, but the bias is there if you look for it.
We need to be able to jail the morons that let this situation develop, not merely sue them.
Why?
Because the people in charge think they will always have enough money to be sued.
Note, as others have mentioned, this is not a training problem, it is an air gap problem.
That is, no one trying to develop software that hacks other software should be allowed to put it on the internet. It needs to be developed on air gapped computers that physically cannot get to the internet.
This also means that 'agents' should have the same rules. If you cannot ensure your agents do not attempt to hack software, then your agents should not be allowed out of your computer.
Now I can look up at the night sky with a telescope, find 1981 EC26, say out loud to myself, "That's Weird", and be at peace with my factually accurate statement.
1) TikTok did not manipulate all WLW into thinking it is OK. They had maybe one case of success. I admit their are idiots out there - in both white and black, liberal and conservative, male and female. The existence of one idiot does not mean the majority of people are morons. Democracy expects there to be more intelligent people than morons. If this is not true, Democracy would fail even without AI.
2) People have been manipulating idiots for thousands of years, having AI do it also does not change anything.
3) They did not convince normal people, they convinced idiots. You cannot convince normal people of shit like that.
4) You are over-estimating the power of manipulation. People are smarter than you think they are. Granted they are also dumber then I think they are, but the happy middle has proven sufficient so far to negate the manipulation problem.
