Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,”

A black person gets harassed by police without reason. System is functioning as intended, indeed.

Tortillas are as American as anything can be so it's normal that anti-American trump would flag them.

Are we sure it was just the bag of Doritos that the AI misclassified?

This is even more embarrassing than when airport security mistook a medal of honor from a ww2 veteran (Joe Foss if I am not mistaken) as a ninja star-like weapon and held him up for a long ass time.

It's crazy how LLM's and AI have arrived, and immediately started depriving us of dignity, autonomy, and financial independence... And nobody is doing shit about it.

The largest reason for this is that Donald Trump and the GOP are in power. They've actually been eroding what little safeguards had been erected.

We are all going to suffer while rich assholes destroy this world. All of us except the very, very top.

SIR, WE CAUGHT HIM RED HANDED

If it was Skittles he'd be dead

I should be shocked that eight cops looked at a picture of a black kid holding a bag of doritos in his hand and agreed that it was a gun. why am I not shocked?

AI detection system detects black person.

WONTFIX: Working as intended.

Drop the weapon!

Dangerously cheesy

This is a Risk we MUST Take to PROTECT our Second Amendment!

-Republicans who Support Trump's ELIMINATION of the Right To Protest, Right To Speech, Two Term Limit, . . .

This could have been prevented if armed 'protection' drones had been installed at the school. The cops could have just stayed in the donut shop while the drones swarmed the student.

Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,”

“We understand how upsetting this was for the individual that was searched as well as the other students who witnessed the incident,” the principal wrote. “Our counselors will provide direct support to the students who were involved.”

Wonderful non-answer showing zero remorse. Good to know that the students at Kenwood High School in Baltimore should absolutely not go to school, unless they want to be another statistic of armed officers shooting kids. The school is outright declaring they'd do it again like The Punisher throwing a fit in court.

In 2021, writer and game designer Alex Blechman inadvertently created a meme:

Sci-Fi Author: "In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale."

Tech Company: "At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus!"

AI is a big component of the new and improved Torment Nexus which is coming along nicely.

Cops not thinking and reliant on system to judge is how we get to psycho pass timeline

Essentially this AI is a racist markov chain that can be simplified:

Skin colour = dark -> something in his hand = true -> result = A WEAPON A WEAPON!!!

It is doing good work replacing the police's job of racially profiling minorities. Very efficient.

Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,” saying its purpose is to “prioritize safety and awareness through rapid human verification.”

What?? How is it prioritizing safety if it did exactly the opposite and created an unsafe environment (a bunch of US cops with guns pointed at teens)?

No one ever says "sorry" or apologise for stuff like this. Guess its an admitance of guilt or wrongdoing and means you are liable. This way they can fight the court system... Or rather not since the parents probably can't afford a civil claim.

Fuck this litigious age we live in.

Doritos, This much flavor should be illegal.

You're welcome lays, I'll take $200k for the idea.

bring the strangest objects you can find into public spaces.

Shows the importance of having a human in the loop.

And since the police vetted the image properly they shouldn't be afraid of publishing it, right?
