Where have I mentioned paracetamol?❓❓
Only in countries where people don’t read the side effects.

142·9 days agoWe should have learned from navigation systems that people rely too much on a computer without thinking for themselves.
Facial recognition and AI for behavior recognition are potentially good security tools. But only if a human controls the output. The US had people wrongfully imprisoned because some Flock camera made the wrong call. Cases in which a human would have noticed that the accused’s car has an entirely different color.
It’s a human problem that can’t get solved. Not with new protocols, not with new software ideas. I have seen people clicking on buttons without reading what is there, only to get rid of any obstacle fast enough.
The only solution is banning this technology. Alternatively, make all false positives not caught by a human as expensive as possible.
Now I’m thinking of the politician who was offended by black holes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have we lost the name AI like we lost Hacker, Baud, and GIF?English
2·21 days agoYes, in 1988, I used an Amiga 500 to go online. Wrote and ran my own BBS on it in 1989. Switched to Linux on PC in 1995, after booting into NetBSD a few times on an Amiga 3000.

It’s frustrating how people in charge are so far away from reality.
Remember when Kathleen Kennedy said that writing for Star Wars is hard because there aren’t any books and comics?
But never announce it on social media. The purists will fight you.
