Hol up. Rewind. It's "stopped school shootings" and you are "using it everywhere."

Kash, exactly now many times have you needed to restrain yourself from shooting up a school?

[–] sureshot0@discuss.online 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, didn't one of the main AI chatbots recently convince a white kid to murder a bunch of people?

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 2 hours ago

Not just one shooting. It inspired many murders, suicides and murder suicides.

The recent tumbler ridge shooting in Canada was made possible by chatgpt, as was another one in Florida last year.

I can't look at this guy and not think about Tom Haverford in Parks and Rec, particularly in his imperative behaviour to impress and talk himself up rather than be competent at his job.

[–] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours ago

Idk if you watch SNL but this past Saturday they had that actor come on and play Kash in the opening skit.

How long will it take until they turn Minority Report into reality? "The AI said you were going to commit an act of terrorism/murder/robbery, so we'll jail you before you cause any harm"

[–] varjen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

But it's going to be Temu Minority Report where none of the predictions are true but they make the precrime cops feel really good and validated.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I like AI, and encourage its adoption by people. However, I am 100% certain that AI hasn't prevented school shootings. In fact, I will go as far to say that the Trump administration has solely used it to harm people, schoolchildren included. We got bloodied backpacks proving that.

Kash stinks.

350 school shootings in one year??!
Bloody hell that's nearly one shooting every day

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 7 points 6 hours ago

Counting holiday it is more.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

And a baseline of two a month for nearly half a century

[–] BritishJ@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

The scary part here is, there isn't any year with 0

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I was personally shot once and the AI wearable I always have next to my heart stopped the bullet! Thanks AI!

[–] parson0@startrek.website 3 points 7 hours ago

It shows that he has outsourced his few remaining braincell's job to chatgpt.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I have a lion in the house and it has never been hit by a meteor therefore lions prevent meteor impacts.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago

It sure sounds like all of those shootings were actually stopped my tips made to the FBI but okay.

[–] TerdFerguson@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I suppose it's a possibility.

Here's an example of where OpenAI sort of failed to do that but maybe could have... https://globalnews.ca/news/11676795/tumbler-ridge-school-shooter-chatgpt-account-flagged-banned-openai/

Kash Patel is an idiot, though, and just saying shit with no factual basis supporting his claims.

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 86 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (3 children)

Some memorable quotes:

Speaking to Sean Hannity, Patel claimed that artificial intelligence was never used at the FBI until the second Trump administration.

Patel added: “What’s the point of collecting terabytes of data if you can’t sift through it?”​

“I’ve got every major tech company in the world embedded in the FBI, rebuilding our internet capabilities, our classified systems, and the ability for artificial intelligence to be in our counterterrorism program so we can get instantaneous results,” he said.

​“The former FBI rejected that notion because they knew…that wasn’t their focus,” he said, referring to the implementation of A.I.

This guy must be half-blind from slapping back his entire supply of cheap bourbon because he can’t see a single red flag in any of these statements. I realize a fascist techno-dystopia has been the plan all along, but even after the last 10 years the hubris still astonishes me.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

collecting terabytes of data

Also, fwiw, this is probably off by about 7 or 8 orders of magnitude.

When I watched Brasil way back when, I wondered how society could slip into such a nonsensical distopia .

I'm guessing this is a pretty good step in that direction.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 33 points 18 hours ago

This is such a security nightmare I can't even begin to comprehend it, bad ideas on so many levels that he's hit a glitch screen.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 203 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

He really can’t be that stupid… can he?

Oh wait nevermind, don’t answer that.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 97 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

It's not the case that everybody who loves AI is stupid and lazy.

But boy stupid lazy people all seem to love it...

It’s like how not all republicans are racist, but all racists are republican

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

the ones that arnt voting republicans but are racists, are basically republicans that arnt out loud about it. you can see many come out of the woodworks as a "republican" when they knew it was safe financially/ PR wise because of trump. especially with so many actors/celebs you thought were somewhat progressive , turns out to be pos. Sinese wasnt by accident coming out of the woodworks, eventhough he supports vets he was rather more than a coincidence right at the time of the eleciton, and him "leaving hollywood" which cause suspicion too. frankie muniz was actually surprising, he idolizes JOE ARPiao and he claimed in an interview saying he did not like his co-stars" political opinions", aka progessive/leftists opinions., yikes but it all make sense since he does "nascar"

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 28 points 18 hours ago

Maybe in the past but at this point all Republicans are racist.

No, he actual is that stupid. He’s an extremely, shockingly stupid person. Also, absolutely no ethics or morals whatsoever.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 14 hours ago

📣 Yes he can 📣

Fat, drunk, and stupid used to be no way to go through life. Now it's the bare minimum for government employment.

There have been at least 24 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of April 28. Nine were on a college campus, and 15 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left at least 14 people dead and 17 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

and this is good

Even After Two Massacres, OpenAI Still Hasn’t Stopped ChatGPT From Helping Plan School Shootings It's practically begging to help people plan mass shootings.

The URL of that last article you linked is SO misleading!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

hes probably referring to palantir AI, and flock ? which is dumb since that doesnt stop it either.

Hey don't make fun of Krash's weird googly eyes. It's not his fault that he's an off-brand Muppet and they had to paint them that way any more than it's his fault that he's short and weird. That's just Muppets.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 19 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Well, that's a relief. I'd rather have AI making decisions than this putz, and I hate AI.
