If you have a chip on your shoulder that is fine. You have already demonstrated your bombastic behavior as well and shown the ability for reflection. I appreciate that. Cheers!

There are plenty of ways to mitigate this problem which do not require a AI solution. I find it insulting that you think it is the best solution considering their is no evidence of its effectiveness. In fact, I have presented why there are many reasons for concern.

The willingness for government to invest in unproven technology rather than increase manpower or develop their own mass alert systems is dysfunctional to say the least. The fact that they often commit to these plans without consulting experts or asking for public comment is dishonest and corrupt.

I have already had to deal with multiple people suffering from AI psychosis so I am not the biggest fan. You say real harm and AI is already doing it everyday. I see your retreat to reductionisism but I don’t find it compelling in this instance. As I already alluded to, we know where this is going.

Great start! Make no mistake that they will use other surveillance companies or even return to flock if the controversy dies down.

Pretty safe? I am sorry but if it is your life on the line or a loved one pretty safe is just not going to cut it. When the AI decides your dying grandmother isn’t priority because of a reason no one can explain or audit what them.This is a huge safety issue than you hand wave away because you are apparently enamored with AI.

I am trying to keep an open mind but replacing human thinking in emergency situations is not a reasonable application. You want a LLM model to triage your medical care with an unproven model that can and does make serious mistakes?

This is not speculation. These companies are selling snake oil at this point and you act as their carnival barker. I do think that decades in the future these systems will be ready for these challenges, but I am not insane enough to believe this roll out is anything other than a cash grab at this point.

I find your statement that humans don’t like giving up control very disturbing. We obviously do give up control for routine low level things like GPS everyday. This is not what your are alluding to though. You are advocating for giving up a higher level of control to an algorithm that can’t be held accountable.

Maybe you are ready for a world of half baked customer agents, managers, counselors, architects, artists, doctors, teachers, judges, emergency dispatchers, etc but I am not. Ceding our control to a corporatocracy of profit driven yes men is not going to end well.

No, I meant I read the article, sorry if that wasn’t clear. You were bitching about people not reading it, I did.

We don’t have to speculate, these same systems are being used as call agents and front line contacts for many industries now. Having dealt with these agents firsthand I can tell you they are extremely limited and pretty much garbage unless you have an issue that could easily be answered by looking at their web page.

There is no possible way to currently reduce the error rate, stop GIGO issues, audit the decision making process, stop hallucinations, etc. To even pretend these are ready for emergency situations is such a gross lack of discernment that I would consider it criminal in nature.

It is problematic to even provide the most basic service of screening of phone calls considering it could be costing previous time in an emergency. If it is a manpower issue then they should be fixing it there and not lookimg for a quick fix.

Also, you know it will not stop there. Their goal is triage so you know they are eventually moving towards far more than a simple public service emergency announcement. You will not be talking to a human in the future but a LLM that will kill people when it makes mistakes and won’t be held accountable.

Read the article. This system will get people killed in the name of efficiency. AI is nowhere near ready to route emergency calls.

What about callers that can’t talk or have accents. The only proper way is to have a human answer and then transfer to an AI, not the other way around. Perhaps decades from now when theses systems are much more reliable we could trust it to be the front line, but we are nowhere near this yet.

If you have something to say, please say it. All I see is someone bitching about not having a discussion.

The majority of people are not using AI as in AI models like Claude or Chatgpt. This could change in the future.

The majority of people are being USED by AI though. This is not a positive thing.

If a scalpel manufacture became 10% (currently AI is at this level) of our total economy but only .006% (percentage of surgeons to population) of people needed them it would be a major problem.

One of the games I really enjoyed from the PS2 was the Shadow of the Colossus. It is an action RPG with almost zero storyline. Other notable mentions are GTA SA, Gran Turismo 3 and Tony Hawk 3.

I had the GameCube and played RE4 and it was amazing, I think they released it on on the PS2 as well.

For the WII, I loved Pikmin and Super Mario Galaxy. I used to play in a WII bowling league and it was a lot of fun.

I was not into the XBox 360 but I was playing on the PC at the time so some shared titles like BioShock, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Portal 2, Batman Arkham, Left 4 Dead, and Far Cry all were really good.

I think a sone of these would probably qualify as massive story games so they may not be your cup of tea.

We must continue poisoning our environment or the poison the environment machine will break down.

I grew up playing consoles, what console is your current favorite and what genre of games do you like?

I had this friend who had sailed the Pacific Ocean by himself and climbed several mountains. A very outdoors kind of guy and he decided he would try computer gaming. He put together a badass PC and got a bunch of realistic flight gear like throttles, rudders, badass flight stick, extra touch screens, etc.

He spent all this time and effort and just could not get into the simulator he built. Computer gaming just wasn’t for him.

Games are way more fun with other people.

When I play games by myself it is to relax and unwind. I like everything from real life solitaire to strategy, RPG, and action games. I prefer to play with others, given the chance though.

Perhaps you have never found a single player game that you like or you just prefer the company of others? It is hard to tell without more information.

The prompt requested it commit the hack not us.

So much for religious freedom!

They did not have enough resources to sustain it when they built a ton of new houses back in the early 2000’s and they never fucking stopped building. Even after the crash and the majority of their market went underwater. They just kept building.

Hey, if you want to be an apologist that is on you. I won’t be joining you though.

I am firmly on the side of humanity.

It meets all the economic and political definitions.

Keep in mind I believe the entire world has descended into fascism thanks to the US. Also fascism for me is a scale, not all or nothing.

The last straw for me was China providing arms to Africa. Their weapons have already ended up on both sides of the conflicts responsible for killing untold civilians. China is now the world’s fourth largest purveyor of arms.

Is China as bad as the US? Not at all, in fact I really appreciate that their imperialism has been limited. Speaking of the two there is no denying that China has helped propel billionaire’s wealth in the US and vice versa. I personally believe the rise of the billionaire class is responsible for the rise in fascism.

Dude would definitely eat a turd.

It was designed this way from the start. Examining the American Revolution from a critical lens reveals a very different story than what Americans are taught.
