A woman is suing Fargo ND police for falsely imprisoning her for SIX MONTHS based on a bad facial recognition hit. She’d never set foot in ND, and the photo the cops fed into the recognition database didn’t look anything like her. She lost her home, car, and possessions while incarcerated. She’s suing for $10 million.
To me, that honestly seems reasonable. Fuck those cops. Losing six months, everything you own, and having a felony arrest wrongly show up in AI shit for decades is a problem.
STOP SAVING DAYLIGHT
* CLOCKS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED TWICE A YEAR
* YEARS OF 'SAVING' yet NO NET GAIN OF DAYLIGHT
* Sunset keeps getting earlier by a few minutes per day, which is sad but we can adjust to it, but then BAM we are all supposed to change the clocks so that it's suddenly A FULL HOUR EARLIER and it's PITCH DARK AFTER WORK what the hell.
"Hello I would like my saved daylight back please"
They have played us for absolute fools.
Pud the black and white cat, this time grabbing my preferred chair for his perpetual sleeping exercise.
“AI almost starts WWIII”. No it did not. The people stupid enough to think that LLMs can be used as a reliable source of information did that. That’s like reporting “Tarot cards almost start WWIII”. Completely irresponsible framing.

This smacks of 'solving' nuclear tensions by building nukes.
The solution to the "AI race" is to not participate, in so doing defunding & ending it so we have a planet to live on, while avoiding rogue & weaponised automation scribbling over our minds, markets, cultures & infrastructures.
Sovereign, contained 'AI' for medicine, radio astronomy, genetic research, OK. AI in banking, public sector, in our schools, on our networks, transport infra.. It'll only end badly

A Fediverse bot that posts a GIF at 10 minutes to midnight of your server administrator saying "Time now, everybody - last toots at the bar." At 5 minutes to midnight, Eugen flashes the lights. At midnight, Mastodon plays your national anthem. You stand. You finish singing the last line with a little cheer and go to bed. Your home timeline transmits the Test Card. The Fediverse will resume transmission at 0600 hours. Even the reply guys will come back well-rested.
