I’ve been here a month now and that doesn’t seem to stop them, lol. At one point I was subbed to like five different tech communities, and I had to unsubscribe from three so far. This one is getting closer everyday.

I basically agree with you but for your example that’s because ChatGPT wasn’t made to return local results, nor even recent ones.

So of course it’s going to fail spectacularly at that task. It has no means to research it.

I mean I’m American and I’ve been looking for a technology community that actually posts cool and fun tech stories instead of apparently assuming every bit of tech is the anti-Christ incognito.

If anyone happens to find one let me know, because I feel like the only people that care enough to post here, care in the wrong direction and fucking hate all things technology.

I really didn’t want to but their comment just reeks of it my guy.

Unless by “doing this shit here as well”, you’re referring to the act of not reading the article, jumping to conclusions, and spreading fear and disinformation.

Blood splatter analysis and dna are two entirely different things though.

Really cool tech, I wonder if law enforcement could use it to detect a range of time someone has been at the scene of a crime based on the concentration of dna found. Could really help solve some crimes when you’ve got no leads.

And thank god for that, because it helped me find my lost AirPods when I wasn’t quite sure where I left them out and about.

Honestly this app sounds almost too good to be true, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it anyways just in case.

So literally every one of these technology communities exists just to spread FUD and hate on technology? I can’t find a single one that actually likes tech…ugh.

Feel like you should post this stuff in the Luddite community, not the technology community.

It’s not the point. You guys are discussing pipe dreams and impossible scenarios. I’m just trying to be pragmatic about what’s happening.

Did you miss the part in the article about this tech being run by private companies? Or how it’s so seamless it can be installed on ANY existing camera system? No upgrades to hardware required.

This surveillance genie is already out of the bottle so just hoping it will go away or be made suddenly illegal in a country that has had a hard-on for surveillance on its own people since at least 9/11 is foolish.

So the best we can do is hope for proper laws regulating and controlling it, so it doesn’t turn into all of those evil things everyone always wants to jump to first.

Because ACAB, but recognize that police work is also one of the areas that could really benefit from AI technology, they are constantly flooded with information from all sorts of sources and it leads to ridiculous backlogs that actually affect society.

So yeah, this tech, like all tech, has the potential to do great harm to society if not reigned in, but it also has the potential to help find your child after they’ve been abducted, or locate your wife or mom after someone has attacked them.

It could do legitimate good in society, too, if used correctly.

I guess that will be up to the courts to decide, not us.

Wait until you grow up a bit and learn about probable cause, or people getting pulled over for nothing. This tech changes nothing about your idea of “innocent until proven guilty” vs what actually happens on the daily.

Sounds like oversight, transparency, and regulation are in order. There’s no putting this genie back in the bottle, unfortunately.

McDonalds and White Castle have already begun using ALPR to tailor drive-through experiences, detecting returning customers and using past orders to guide them through the ordering process

Yeah you’re right, helping people order lunch is literally 1984.

Worry, what…that you’ll get pulled over for suspicions while being innocent, and then the cops would be forced to find out you’re innocent?

Yeah I can see that being inconvenient to downright dangerous depending on the cop, personally I think it has the potential to do more good than bad.

It’s just a shame the police have such a hard on for drugs when there’s so much worse stuff going on out there.

Hyperbole.

Oh no, the A.I. identified someone as a drug trafficker, and the police pulled that person over on suspicion of being a drug trafficker, and found out that he was indeed a drug trafficker, and now he’s upset he got caught by a robot dragnet.

I don’t think drugs should be criminalized, but are we supposed to be upset that A.I. is going to finally help parse data and solve crimes?
