The world is doing fairly ok, thank you. The US however I’m not so sure as people here are apparently more concerned by the AI malfunction than with the idea it’s somehow sensible to live monitor high schools for gun threat.

Its not just the US. China runs the same level of surveillance, its being implemented all throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. This is becoming the norm.

Because if the "gun threat" system isn't accurate, then it's a system for false positives and false negatives and it's actually worse than having no such system. Maybe that's what you meant?

So you’re okay with trigger happy cops forcing a teenager to the ground because he had a bag of Doritos?

No, I think it’s crazy that people somehow think it’s rational to video monitor kids and be worried they have actual fire arms.

I think that’s a level of f-ed up which is so far removed from questioning AI that I wonder why people even tolerate it and somehow seem to view the premise as normal.

The cop thing is just icing on the cake.

It's a system that was sold to a legally risk-averse school district or city or whatever. It's sales job and the non-technical people buy it because they aren't equipped to even ask the right questions about it. They created even more problems for themselves than the problems they purportedly attempted to solve! This is modern life in a nutshell.
