"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.

So its a police car driving around. What if someone actually needs help? What can just a car do?

This whole idea is so utterly stupid, I'm at loss of words.

It can't do anything to help anyone, but it's essentially a mobile Flock camera with license plate tracking and facial recognition. It's a privacy nightmare, and a massive legal liability for the city (Benn Jordan has an excellent video on his YouTube about Flock cameras and how bad they are). Best case scenario is it drives through a deep puddle during the next hurricane and shorts itself out.

I agree. I know your post was serious but I couldn't help thinking of that green goblin truck from that Stephen King movie where tech comes alive. I'm imagine a police car watching a crime in progress and revving it's engine to intimate them.

I was waiting the whole video for them to explain even one actually useful aspect of this idea, and at the very end a cop says "it can deploy a drone."

But wait that's dumb

It'll run them over! Obviously. Easiesy way to solve any problem is to just run them all over.
