An Algorithm Told Police She Was Safe. Then Her Husband Killed Her.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Absolutely, ACAB
Cops are still necessary. It's giving humans a machine to blame any failure upon is a very bad thing.
I personally think these "AI"s are supported by governments. There's been a lot of talk 10-15 years ago how many government official's functions can be replaced by AI (without quotes), since these functions do not require agenda and are not even too fuzzy, but require semantic understanding. So "AI"s (with quotes) are being used like a vaccine, so that the wide mass of humans would hate the guts of the very idea, having experienced them (EDIT: and wouldn't want actual semantic reasoning systems). Why - because people working in governments love power and hate transparency, they also hate the idea of being replaced with machines.
Or maybe it's a conspiracy theory and they all really believe in accelerationism.
some political groups engage in mismanagement on purpose to make people dislike the government, that's hardly a conspiracy, but it's a little weird to think they're propping up the misuse of LLMs rather than that being a natural consequence of stupid capitalism
No, I meant governments doing certain things on purpose to discourage people from trusting that whole direction.
