AI can be very useful, the problem here is humans trusting it to be accurate all the time.
In this case it should be used to narrow down results, but even then the police need to do their job. They need to do an actual investigation to gather evidence that they have the right person before even attempting to make am arrest.
Even removing AI from the picture entirely doesn't solve this problem. Just look at wrongful arrests that have been made simply because a wanted criminal has the exact same name as someone else.

I read through way too many articles that failed to mention this important detail.
Link inside this article, at least 94 people have died from sedatives when restrained by police from 2012 to 2021.
Would be interesting to note how many people have been given sedatives at all when restrained by police... averaging 9-10 deaths/year should definitely cause us to rethink the viability and even legality of this practice.
Civil asset forfeiture in the U.S.
We're supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty" but they get around this by saying that they're essentially accusing the money (or car/home or whatever) of being used for crime. Then they confiscate it and the only way to get it back is to go to court and prove that your money is innocent.
The fact that cash/possessions can be taken away from you at anytime by federal agents (or by police in almost every State) without having to follow it up with any sort of case to prove that a crime occurred is ridiculous. And on top of that you can't get the money back that you spent on attorney fees, so it's pointless to spend money on an attorney if what was taken was less than a few thousand dollars.
Most people don't know that this can happen or don't seem to care enough because, "it would never happen to me, right?"
From the article:
The cause of his death was not immediately clear.
Corporations are big into lobbying. "Studies" like this help them to convince lawmakers to make decisions that benefit them.
In this case, they might not be able to easily lower minimum wage, but they can say that it's been a burden and try to get a break in other ways.

Poe's Law, should have included a "/s" at least.

Since a lot of discussion is happening around how they're going to implement this, and the article doesn't go into the details, here's more information: https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/20240124-senator-wiener-introduces-groundbreaking-bills-slash-california-road-deaths-epidemic
In line with NTSB recommendations, SB 961 requires every passenger vehicle, truck, and bus manufactured or sold in the state to be equipped with speed governors that limits the vehicle’s speed based on the speed limit for the roadway segment. The maximum speed threshold over the speed limit for that segment that the speed governor may permit the vehicle to travel at is 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. SB 961 also permits the vehicle operator to temporarily override the speed governor function. SB 961’s speed governor requirement does not apply to emergency vehicles.
And if anyone really wants to dive into it, the actual text for the bill is here: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB961
One of the officers was wearing a body camera when the shooting happened, and detectives are reviewing local businesses’ security footage as part of the investigation, authorities said.
Looks like there's a chance we can get something close to the full details as to why this happened.
In other news... this article is an exact copy of this one, word for word: https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/off-duty-nebraska-police-officers-shoot-and-kill-two-men/
I'm guessing Dave Collins wrote it originally and then The AP picked it up and then it gets posted by KOB, but they just credit the AP without crediting the original journalist? Is that normal?
I'm sure you understand this, but anonymized data doesn't mean it can't be deanonymized. Given the right kind of data, or enough context they can figure out who you are fairly quickly.
Ex: You could "Anonymize" gps traces, but it would still show the house you live at and where you work unless you strip out a lot of the info.
http://androidpolice.com/strava-heatmaps-location-identity-doxxing-problem/
Now with LLMs, sure, you could "anonymize" which user said or asked for what... but if something identifying is sent in the request itself, it won't be hard to deanonymize that data.
A model where all of the employees own shares in the company.
More than its economic success, though, Mondragón has become a beacon for the co-operative model, as a more humane and egalitarian way of doing business that puts “people over capital”. Every worker has a stake in the company’s fortunes and a say in how it is run, and receives a share of the profits. But the goal is more about creating “rich societies, not rich people”. That means looking after workers during not only the good times but the tough times, too.
the fact that the US doesn't negotiate with terrorists,
Isn't that just some Hollywood trope that's not actually true?
Exactly. Here's a relevant snippet from the article:
The California decertification law was passed in 2021 in the wake of the 2020 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and took effect in 2023. The law came 18 years after lawmakers stripped that power from a state police standards commission. That left it to local agencies to decide if officers should be fired, but critics said they could often simply get a job in a different department.
This is big, although I wonder how difficult it is for an officer to move to a different state and get a job even if they were decertified by this law.
In this case, Sylvia was falsely accused, arrested, and then the charges were dropped a day later.
That's different when compared to Trump where he went through the court system and was found guilty on all counts.
Part of the problem is that cops are legally allowed to lie as an "Interogation Technique" (in the USA at least).
Ok, but there's no context for us here and with the premise of your post, you're expecting us to judge an entire community based off of a single comment that has received practically no engagement in comparison to the community at large.
You might as well be asking for us to explain to you why you are being downvoted.
People can downvote you for any number of reasons, my assumption here is that your comment didn't carry the discussion forward in any meaningful way.
What? No. I would rather use my own local LLM where the data never leaves my device. And if I had to submit anything to ChatGPT I would want it anonymized as much as possible.
Is Apple doing the right thing? Hard to say, any answer here will just be an opinion. There are pros and cons to this decision and that's up to the end user to decide if the benefits of using ChatGPT are worth the cost of their data. I can see some useful use cases for this tech, and I don't blame Apple for wanting to strike while the iron is hot.
There's not much you can really do to strip out identifying data from prompts/requests made to ChatGPT. Any anonymization of that part of the data is on OpenAI to handle.
Apple can obfuscate which user is asking for what as well as specific location data, but if I'm using the LLM and I tell it to write up a report while including my full name in my prompt/request... that's all going directly into OpenAIs servers and logs which they can eventually use to help refine/retrain their model at some point.
From the article:
A lawsuit before the Maryland Supreme Court seeks to stop the sale of a parking lot in Bethesda that currently covers the remains of a historically Black cemetery to developers.
The Bethesda African American Cemetery Coalition argues that since the land is a burial ground the sale of the land requires court approval if the land is to be used for another purpose.
“This issue is really critical because right now there are literally hundreds of African American burial grounds around the United States that are in various stages of desecration,” Steven Lieberman, the attorney who is representing the Coalition told USA TODAY in February.
Is this the same guy that's recorded on those robocalls who's always asking for donations?
I'm on board with some sort of age cap, but it shouldn't be a specific age/number cutoff.
That number should be dynamic and change according to some other metric like the average life expectancy of someone in that country. Maybe something like 90-95% of the life expectancy of the country?
At least that way we can provide another incentive for politicians to push forward legislation that will help increase the overall life expectancy of the nation as a whole.
A comment got 7 downvotes and there's something wrong with the whole community???

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies.
More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.[5][6]

You'll also see them around here commonly blaming anything negative on "capitalism" as well (while ignoring the fact that pure capitalism doesn't exist since the economy of almost every country is really a mix of capitalism and socialism).
It also helps when the ears are angled in a way that makes it look like a unicorn.
A handful of shares don't really mean much in terms of having a say in the company.
With Mondragón, is the voting based on the number of individuals in a company, or is it based on the number of shares that an individual owns?
The article didn't go into detail in how much of a say each employee has (or maybe I missed it?).
Even if it is votes based on the number of employees, in a company like Mondragón (with 70,000 other employees) wouldn't you still say that a single vote doesn't "mean much in terms of having a say in the company?"
It feels like this would work very well in companies with a smaller number of employees, but the fact that a large company like this is successful with this model is a good sign.
This is definitely out of the ordinary for this particular county (from what I can tell).
Only 1 shark attack has been recorded in this county in the last ~140 years.
https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/maps/na/usa/florida/
Also a fun fact, while most of the shark attacks (in the U.S.) happen in Florida, you're very likely to survive. (About 15-30 attacks per year, and only 1 fatality every few years if I'm remembering correctly).
However, while you're much less likely to get attacked in California, if you do get attacked, you're far more likely to die. (About 1-2 shark attacks every year and a fatality every other year if, I'm remembering correctly).

A balance between capitalism and socialism is what most countries are already using and has worked for a long time.
Communism is the one that only works in theory and anywhere it has been tried has quickly led to dictatorships or else it has fallen apart.
Edit: what most countries are using (not every country)
I'd rather have "star" or "approval" voting, but I'll take ranked choice voting over what we've currently got.
Did I say they weren't?
To be fair, you did in fact say that "emergency landings for any reason are the worst."
Welcome to Lemmy.
One important thing to point out, your upvotes and downvotes are mostly public here, so if you want to maintain anonymity with your votes you'll want to setup a separate account for voting only and no commenting.
I tried a few apps for interacting with Lemmy and Voyager has been my favorite by far.
I still go back to Reddit for very niche communities that can't be found here, or just don't have the userbase to churn out content like they can. I use an app like "Stealth" to browse any of the subreddits I still frequent, but I've been able to replace a lot of the generic ones with Lemmy communities.
You will find a lot more users here that will take any chance they can get to blame capitalism for all of the worlds problems.
Some opinions are still heavily downvoted here, but you can always join up with an instance that ignores/doesn't display any downvotes.
You will need to be a lot more active in your own communities if you want to turn it into the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.
As far as moderation goes, there are some Lemmy instances that have stricter mods than others. Just do a little research and pick a main one where you won't get banned if you decide to voice your opinion about a dictator one way or another.
Just note, if you pick one that's too small there's a greater risk of them shutting down for one reason or another.
Just don't get one from 2017-2019. They've been recalled at least twice for going up in flames. As of now you're just not supposed to charge them overnight or park them inside of a structure.

This is the summary of all the notifications received by each of the students. According to the article we don't know how many students there were for that specific source image.
For anyone curious what exactly those ties were:
Balmaseda previously served as an intern in the office of Rubio [...] and worked as an organiser for DeSantis’s 2018 campaign for governor.
This is why, in a lot of universities, they're trying to teach you how to learn, not necessarily how you should think.
We need to be able to examine the claims for ourselves and learn what red flags look like.
And a lot of the time we mix up "facts" with "opinions". Even when we are looking at facts, most of the time there are lies mixed with truth or conveniently forgotten truths. If we only get our information from a single source, or from biased sources, then we're going to miss some key information.
That's why it's good to make sure that you look at any story (especially politicized ones) from different angles and sources even if you don't agree with them.
Not only that but it can be enlightening to hear about a story from someone who's much more intimately familiar with the subject themselves.
For example, whenever it comes to news stories about the Supreme Court, I like to look for commentary from lawyers such as Steve Lehto or Legal Eagle. You'll find that they typically provide some very important context into why a particular decision was made that cuts through a lot of the outrage material that reporters push for clicks.
Somewhat similar, this might be a fun thread to ask if anyone has experienced Synesthesia:
I think the consequences will be different for every case and based on what was done.
This ruling is a major step forward so that cases can actually be brought against corrupt politicians who are abusing their power in this way.

Communism wouldn't fix much, and it would only be a temporary fix. It doesn't work well at a larger scale which is why every country that has tried it has either fallen apart or turned into a dictatorship.
We're better off finding the proper balance between capitalism and socialism until someone comes up with a better system that actually works.
I think people are severely overestimating how much of an impact being an incumbent actually has with the final results. In smaller elections this definitely has a big impact, but in the entirety of the US history we've only had 27 presidents run for reelection, and 9 of them have lost.
That's a ~67% win rate for incumbent presidents, which isn't terrible, but isn't great either, and with a terrible sample size.
