"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

And the reason I was ID’d as a dangerous car thief was a simple data error made 2,000 miles away in California, creating an edge case within an edge case that Flock’s AI camera network was unable to handle

There are so many timelines where this guy ends up dead or in jail. This timeline depended on his ability to get a rep from Jaguar on the phone on a weekend. I can kind of understand the four car response; the system kept dropping him and they finally had positive confirmation this was the car and where it was. I wonder how often clerical/technical errors happen and how early in the process they normally get caught. This could've ended as badly as some of the swatting cases have and started out much the same way: an input into a system drives a forceful output. It doesn't matter to the recipient of the force if it was a prank, a malicious act by someone, or a glitch in the matrix. If someone dies because a bad actor swatted someone there are consequences. What are the consequences if the entire Flock system is pure happy path from lens to server?
