"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

anyone who designs a computer system without escape hatches when it’s wrong isn’t an engineer; they’re a fucking fraud
the single most important thing to understand about software is that no matter what, it will fail… if there are no ways for the people-system to force it right, it’s an enormous liability
A: There is no way that a computer system doesn't have a way to dispose of warrants cases are dispositioned every single day. B: The actual fix absent the privileges to disposition the case would be to give the person a contant in the system and a card and tell arresting officers to call the number on the card. Confirm it and just not arrest based on a known false warrant.
In the end people are the escape hatch they are expected to do the right thing not the computer. Nobody cares if they gave you a button for "do the right thing"
But "They where just following orders"! /s
Exception: Developing cryptographic proofs.
