This is what state run AI models should be doing, not any of that other wack ass shit
Color me skeptical, considering this city specifically has the single most notoriously corrupt and violent police force in the history of the nation. Yeah, that model is being trained to "help".
If you’ve never worked with local governments, you may not realize how independent these departments can be. And also that the people who go into this line of work usually really want to help people. I can’t speak to the situation in LA directly but I seriously doubt they would be sharing their tools with the police unless there was political pressure to do so. Which I think is unlikely in LA.
That's a non-zero chance that LLM is safely secured and incapable of being used for unethical reasons, no matter how "independent" the political groups are.
They can just build their own model if they want to. It’s not that hard, especially since the police have a lot of money. So the question is more do we allow this than will they somehow steal it from another unrelated program.
They're going to get it regardless. Question is will we
No thanks. If this is remotely successful these fucks will next use it to Minority Report us.
Next?
Definitely. Policy should be made on the basis of what's proven to be effective, not ideology.
AI could be more effective, provided that what's been fed into it is not garbage
