    Some memorable quotes:

    Speaking to Sean Hannity, Patel claimed that artificial intelligence was never used at the FBI until the second Trump administration.

    Patel added: “What’s the point of collecting terabytes of data if you can’t sift through it?”​

    “I’ve got every major tech company in the world embedded in the FBI, rebuilding our internet capabilities, our classified systems, and the ability for artificial intelligence to be in our counterterrorism program so we can get instantaneous results,” he said.

    ​“The former FBI rejected that notion because they knew…that wasn’t their focus,” he said, referring to the implementation of A.I.

    This guy must be half-blind from slapping back his entire supply of cheap bourbon because he can’t see a single red flag in any of these statements. I realize a fascist techno-dystopia has been the plan all along, but even after the last 10 years the hubris still astonishes me.

      collecting terabytes of data

      Also, fwiw, this is probably off by about 7 or 8 orders of magnitude.

      When I watched Brasil way back when, I wondered how society could slip into such a nonsensical distopia .

      I’m guessing this is a pretty good step in that direction.

          The Nihilistic worldview is the deciding factor. They believe in nothing, other than their own self advancement.

          That said, there is a seeming correlation between overweight people in the US being Nihlistic as such. But hardly all, seeing as over half of the population is overweight now. Half of white people, equal for men and woman, higher for all minorities, but especially for their woman, with the exception of east asians, which are generally fit.

          It takes an immigrant 7 years on average to become as overweight as the average American.

          Information on weight demographics from the NHIS, the last paragraph from Harper’s Magazine.

            Middle aged East Asian people are not physically fit lol. This is racialized faux intellectualism. Lemmy should have higher standards.

              I was talking about being overweight and obesity, the East Asians have the lowest rates, white people are about the second lowest at 50/50 fit and fat, blacks and Hispanics are higher, especially amongst the woman Folk, and I explicitly said the source of the National Institute of Health.

    There have been at least 24 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of April 28. Nine were on a college campus, and 15 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left at least 14 people dead and 17 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

    and this is good

    Even After Two Massacres, OpenAI Still Hasn’t Stopped ChatGPT From Helping Plan School Shootings It’s practically begging to help people plan mass shootings.

      Maybe he’s “using AI” to refer the IP address of people using AI to plan school shootings to the FBI?

      Still hasn’t materialized in lack of shootings this year, when are they supposed to stop now?

    Every time I see his face, I just want to punch it. He has one of those faces that shows complete and utter incompetency in everything and deserves to have his face smashed in.
