"Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most fascinating and debated technological breakthroughs of our time. While some express concerns about its potential impact, there are compelling reasons why we shouldn't be afraid:

Adaptation to Humans: Unlike traditional technologies, AI adapts to us rather than the other way around. It creates new ways of interacting with computers that feel seamless and natural. For instance, when your Nest thermostat adjusts the temperature or your phone autocorrects grammar, that's AI at work. It's about making technology more intuitive and user-friendly.

Solving Complex Problems: AI has the power to address vexing global challenges. From improving communication to tackling energy, climate, healthcare, and transportation issues, AI can make a significant positive impact. Its ability to process vast amounts of data, especially with cloud computing, enables solutions that were previously unimaginable.

No Intentions or Ambitions: AI lacks intentions, free will, or self-interest. It operates based on statistical analysis and logical rules. Unlike humans, it doesn't deceive, lie, or harbor ambitions. In essence, AI is not intelligent in the same way we are, and its limitations prevent it from being a cause for undue fear.

Transformational Potential: The real magic of AI lies in its adaptability to people. As it continues to evolve, it will profoundly transform how we live, work, and interact. Rather than fearing it, we should embrace the possibilities it offers.

In summary, AI isn't a mysterious force to be feared; it's a tool that can enhance our lives and address critical global challenges 123. Let's approach it with curiosity and optimism! "

I asked ai if we should be afraid of AI.

HAW! now i'm even more afraid of it.

Transportation issues -- the largest school system in Kentucky hired a
company that used AI to help them with bus routes. The result was a
"staggered start" system where kids start and end school at different
times. I forget when the last end time was supposed to be, but it was
before 5pm. On the first day, there are some kids that didn't get home
until after 9pm. The system cancelled school for a week, promising that
they'd fix it.

Kids are still not getting home in places until after 7pm, and kids that
live within walking distance of schools (but who are not allowed by the
system to walk home) are spending an hour or more on busses each afternoon/evening.

Apparently the AI could take into account traffic patterns, etc., but not
the minds and actions of youngsters.

that's sad that they would take that approach when they could have asked veteran drivers for feedback. I bet someone that worked there 10+ years would have better information than any company that uses AI.

Kids are still not getting home in places until after 7pm, and kids that live within walking distance of schools (but who are not allowed by the system to walk home) are spending an hour or more on busses each afternoon/evening.

That reminds me when my mom paid for me to go to a private school for a year. it was six miles away. They wanted me to be picked up at 4:30am. school started at 7am or something.
It's a 13min drive from my house. i got home over 2 hrs after school.

The bus would pick up children in a different sequence and bounce all over town. they had bad managment too.

Most likely so. Part of their issue is a staff retention issue, though.
That district spends more money per student than any other district but
cannot keep staff (not just drivers, teachers, etc., too). They say it is because they need more money, but I suspect it is because they blow their
money on stupid stuff like this AI study.

Kids are still not getting home in places until after 7pm, and kids that live within walking distance of schools (but who are not allowed by the system to walk home) are spending an hour or more on busses each afternoon/evening.

The bus would pick up children in a different sequence and bounce all over tow

In this case, from what I can gather from stories regarding my nieces bus trips, the AI told them that bouncing around and having kids that live the closest wait the longest after school for a bus was the way to go.

Apparently the AI could take into account traffic patterns, etc., but not the minds and actions of youngsters.

maybe they should use ants like the subway system story. if THAT is even real.

LOL, even if that story is not real I suspect they could not have done much worse than they did.

After the initial issues, it was reported that the company that they paid
for the study had done the same thing in another similarly sized city and
got similar bad results. I wondered why the local reporters were being so positive about the changes before they happened but then waited to report
about the company's previous issue until after their plan didn't work.

We're in the "wild frontier" portion of AI. Try it out with
everything, see where it sticks. AI alarm clocks. AI web search. AI
assistants for Excel and Word.

Back in the 50s, the fully electric kitchen was a thing. Manufacturers
electrified everything, because they could, and because it was part of

When's the last time you saw an electric can opener? They didn't stick,
and kitchen appliances are appropriately electric.

I think part of that is an economy that values quantity over quality of

helps the support issue little.

before school, and he was one of the last stops on the route!

This happened in the district I used to go to school in back in the
1970s-80s. We lived on the outskirts of the district
for my high school. For the mornings, we did have to get out awful early
and for at least the first couple of years we'd usually get to school about
45 minutes before school started. Afternoons seemed to work pretty
efficient, though. Getting us to the outskirts depended on traffic that particular day, but we got home in plenty of time to do homework (not that
I didn't find plenty of time to goof off and not get it done!).

I actually liked getting there early vs. other years/other schools where I
got there real close to starting time, but 45 minutes was pretty early.

Something else I found out is that at least elementary school kids are not getting any homework any more. The school system says it is because there
are too many kids who don't have English as a first language but I suspect
it is the result of the bus schedule screw-up, considering that the no
homework policy also started just this year.

A bus route seems like a place where a human would outperform an AI.
We're not at tha point where a LLM can come up with a solution without
human intervention.

I cannot see how they didn't do it without some human intervention. I
think (but don't know!) that they are blaming the AI and the company to
gloss over the fact that the school system also had some hand in it. At
the very least, we know they approved it.

I think it is a beta product they are hyping and rushing into production, for the most part.

I have seen some impressive work done. For example, they created a full video with AI that featured the TV anchor Iker Jimenez reading a famous post from Forocoches (the largest Spanish web forum). You'd laugh your ass off watching this famous guy talking about hot Latinas in all seriousness. Still I think this sort of thing is still the exception rather than the rules for now.

Linux Magazine published a great article about deliberate data poisoning that could be used to mistrain an AI. It featured a practical example/tutorial. THey made the point that you can make it obey hidden data inputs.

For example, if you are training the AI for recognicing handwritting, you usually give it multiple samples. Now imagine all the "Rs" you show to it have a hidden feature, like a particular ink color, or a small stain on the border of the sample. THe machine would learn that all the letters with that hidden feature are an "R". Then, in the wild, you could purposedly break the AI results by presenting it a "C" that displayed the hidden feature and it will be interpretated as an "R".

Now imagine the AI system is used to process bank checks and you can make it mistake 0s and 1s for 9s.

we're going to have to do some urban warfare on AI soon or just become slaves. I heard that people could get juggalo tattoos to confuse AI recognition systems.

shame video of you on a screen?

That actually sounds sort of cool, if it works.

chinese people are all concerned about face, so i guess it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOxMWn0kEEw

I am generally for anything that would cut down on jay walkers, as well as several other traffic violators that cause accidents.

We should all go back to wearing surgical masks.

Also you can identify someone by their gait. I have a unique walk from just wrecking my body and because I am big and I move so fast. They
had an example of gait detection on the punisher tv show.

One of the "how to attend a protest" guides I read suggested putting a
pebble in one shoe to throw your gait off. That came in handy at the
"Blood-drinking Tranny Pedophile Lives Matter" protest I went to in San
Francisco, because, you know, they're everywhere.

they probably have computer programs that can accurately simulate what
you look like under the mask.

in SF you will be walking funny on the street anyways. you are stepping in human shit, or stepping over it. also there's the drug users and needles you need to step over.

SAD!

Walking through the mounds of feces and medical waste are nothing
compared to trying to get past the false narrative.

All cities have their good areas and bad areas. Painting all of San
Francisco with images of the bad areas is disingenuous at best and
projecting at its worst, when meant to smear a political party and their policies.

Go ahead, tell me when the last time you were in San Francisco was. I'm
going into The City tomorrow.

I'm NEVER going there. I know people who vacationed there and traveled through it. i'd rather go on the other side of the country.

crocodile in season 4 was one an upsetting one for me.
I think they crossed the line with that episode.

if you want to know why you can google it. it's also the
way they pulled it off that got to me.

whats strange is i watched all of the episodes but i can only remember
maybe 4 of them out of six seasons.
