Nice, so we just shouldn't have alerting systems at all in these cases? Guess we should remove collision avoidance alerts from modern cars! Let's also remove GPWS/sink-rate warnings from planes because they can erroneously trigger under certain conditions! Sure, they may have saved thousands...

Yes and why don't we also achieve world peace while we're at it? It's a dumb argument because ending gun violence is not something either the school or company is capable of doing. They are clearly trying to do the best they can from the position they're in. Your suggestion should be something...

The problem with basing your argument on this is all someone has to do is build a good surveillance system to upend your argument. I would instead argue that surveillance certainly can reduce crime (esp. in e.g. China, London, authoritarian regimes), but it's just not worth the cost in personal...

Clearly no one in these comments have worked with an actual alerting system in their life. A sensitive alerting system (as requested) means high false positives. High false positives mean that it is your responsibility to review the alerts before acting on them. This is how alerting and triage...

All alerting systems are only as good as those that review the alerts and fine-tune the system. In this case, the system was fine-tuned to be sensitive at the school's request. Higher sensitivity = higher FPR, and the school agreed to perform human review to mitigate false positives (which they...

yes of course, but now you're moving the goalposts.

Of course the system has value if they've actually detected an AK-47 on campus or other kids bringing guns to school (which they have.) All alerting systems, AI or not, require human triage. If you remove the human triage then obviously the system will have no value. You do not configure...

What the hell is this Luddite comment section on? It was the superintendent's JOB to review the images. They did not review the images and just called the police straight away. How is this in any way the system's fault, where it presented the images for human review? Any tool used incorrectly...

I don't understand why you can't seem to comprehend that this is what people actually want. Arsians are so disconnected with the actual wants and needs of the public that it's bizarre. No, no one wants to haul sound some kilogram brick, you might, the people on this forum might, but no one else...

Wow, so much negativity. Arsians once again showing how they are shockingly out of touch and close-minded, and couldn't be trusted with product decisions of their life depended on it.

Why is the socialist crowd so unable to understand basic economics? Y'all just put your feelings over practicality No, you cannot provide healthcare to everyone in the world Every universal healthcare country on the planet has residency requirements Taxpayers are not responsible for being the...

Oh god, the horror of having to work part-time in order to claim benefits, provided you aren't physically or mentally disabled! One of my friends literally doesn't bother finding a job because SNAP/EBT and other benefits are enough for him to just room up with a buddy doing the same.

You are truly uninformed if you think anyone getting taxed 50% will vote for more taxes. Funny how you avoid the actual data-backed sources to just attack me.

lol I'm not right wing, I just know what I'm talking about. I've worked for government contractors. I've seen waste that is so bizarrely beyond the pale that it would break your mind given how passionately you're defending it. You have no clue what you are talking about. The truth is that it's...

Seeing how quick Arsians are to toss away principles on privacy to "stick it to the big bad AI company" is wild. If these are the kinds of bitter people in our workforce, AGI truly cannot arrive soon enough. I'm just glad I get to help make it happen.

You could liquidate all US billionaires and you wouldn't fund the ridiculously inefficient US government for a year. No; you aren't entitled to other people's wealth and never will be.

Tfw you lose free stuff we couldn't afford to begin with 🤷‍♂️ Fun fact Ars doesn't like - the US middle class is undertaxed compared to the rest of the world. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/ten-myths-about-the-u-s-tax-system/...

$1/mo is a ridiculous price for the vast majority of WA's users. You are totally out of touch with most of the world if you really think this was feasible.

Ars comments really are just another version of Reddit. Totally uninformed normies that think they are intelligent and know what they are talking about. Whatsapp literally uses the Signal protocol under the hood, and it has for nearly a decade now. It is E2EE. The implementation is routinely...

Every time I see normies whining about Facebook, I've invested a bit more in it. Started at around $100. I've made over $100k. Gg folks, don't bet against the Zuck.
