OK, to save you all a click: he's saying that he's using AI to triage tips, so that they can process all the tips that come in, and that way they've been able to stop two school shootings.

What dogshit journalism. "They claim they've stopped (a few) school shootings" gets shortened to "They've stopped school shootings", so that you'll think J Edgar Boozer is claiming to have stopped all school shootings, and click the article so that they get those sweet ad dollars.

Maybe someone can confirm how they know that those kids were definitely going to shoot up their schools and aren't just suspected of having wanted to do it.

Click avoided. Your work is appreciated.

Can’t prove a negative.

They think they stopped school shootings based on criteria they made up. Unless someone was physically on the way to a school, armed, they didn’t stop anything.

Wannabe Minority Report.

Sure thing Kash. How about using AI against the neo-Nazi militia compounds and pedo rings?

I've never been that drunk myself.

The director of the FBI just admitted they sold all our the countries classified information to evil tech billionaires across the globe to spy on americans...

This will backfire soon, if not already backfiring on the american people.

Ladies and gentlemen, Director of the FBI. No amount of Hollywood films is gonna restore their reputation after this.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If sanity ever prevails again, we need to criminalize lying by politicians. Minimum 5 year sentence.

He should use it to fix his eyes and remove Donald Trump's feces from his nose.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 46 points 14 hours ago

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 30 points 15 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 16 points 12 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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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 20 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 21 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I expect nothing more from them. Although, calling it “Temu something something” is an insult to Chinese goods.

[–] varjen@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

it's hard to insult the quality of the goods from Temu I've seen.

It’s even harder to praise the actions of USA’s government.

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

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 8 points 17 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.

Such a shame they didnt have enough room to print the full year along the X axis.

Very informative. It seems it's twice as likely to happen after.

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 10 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

Thr USA has a huge problem with mass shootings

And every time you point it out there will always be Americans comment that it's not that bad.

Even though the USA far exceeds every other country that isn't currently an active war zone.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 10 points 16 hours ago

Counting holiday it is more.

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.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 hours ago

I’ve got every major tech company in the world embedded in the FBI,

The fuck, man? How are they allowed to just do shit like this??

[–] jve@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

collecting terabytes of data

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

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Terabytes is a subset of Petabytes, so it's not a complete lie.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

If they are short of an exabyte, I would be astonished.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

I think i have a TB of data just storing the TV show The Expanse in 4K.
