The bizarre framing of the hand position and movement hides the truth that this is just another useless system to let school administrators do what they do best: waste money and immiserate poor students
![Here’s a timeline of the Kenwood High incident on Oct. 20, according to school officials:
7:04 p.m. — Omnilert sent an alert for review
7:05-7:06 p.m. — School system safety personnel and the Maryland Safe Schools facilitator reviewed the alert and canceled it.
7:17 p.m. — Kenwood’s principal reported the alert to a school resource officer. “Because this alert was received after school hours, the SRO called the local [police] precinct,” school officials stated.
7:23 p.m. — Police arrived at Kenwood after receiving a report of a suspicious person with a weapon.
Trained school system safety professionals review the images and either validate or cancel alerts based on what they see. Canceling means that no action is taken. Validating means that safety personnel notify police.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bc6mgrkful5zby6tozdlrdxk/bafkreiefkeriyudgcgzhsfjhlikxbs4hk7tatmc6ebgp3kqvlrohysnvtm@jpeg)
![“The Omnilert system did not detect a single blue potato chip bag as a threat,” the report stated. “The perceived threat was based on the student’s hand movement, including its position and angle.”
Investigators reported that Allen was holding an “unidentified item that extended slightly beyond the fingers and was held at a slight angle near the hip or pocket level.”
Looking at the image on a phone screen and zooming in on the student’s hand “could cause the user to overlook the cancellation text message” that was sent after staff determined it was a non-issue.
The Kenwood principal viewed the alert in a text, clicked the link that led to the video of the event and paused to enlarge the image.
“The principal said that it wasn’t until after they watched the video, tried to contact safety staff, and spoke with BCoPD [Baltimore County Police Department] personnel — who informed them that the police had cleared the school grounds — that they noticed a cancellation had been issued,” the report stated.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bc6mgrkful5zby6tozdlrdxk/bafkreic3lfa5qgka4z2gvhc223rzibsl5lzbyhrqbq2azqqcqkt7o4nwzm@jpeg)

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

A lot of the discourse here could be helped if we just got straight to the point. Most of the time people's issue isn't EA, it's capitalism. I was a capitalist way before I was an EA. If that's what you're actually mad about, just say so directly

I'm very serious guys: there are a lot of mutuals all of us have on here that have decided this rolling stone article is the chance to argue that "actually data centers aren't that big of a problem, it's just industrial farming" and every single one of them is in the programming/ML training world

The way anyone involved in ML/AI refuses to read the actual rolling stone article, and instead claims everyone agreeing with it is just dumb as fuck.
so you end up with ppl unwittingly making bizarre policy recommendations like “these random farms should be allowed to use as much water as they want without it being priced. in doing so i am protecting the working class’s drinking water access”

Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

I have seen multiple reichstagfire hashtags, and I'm begging y'all to get a hold of yourselves.
If I see one more "omg the regime is going to use this to oppress people" take every time there are actual violent social consequences to imposing fascism, I'm gonna start knocking heads.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
