Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

...because the shooter hid it from the cameras. What a shocker.

Understatement of the year:

I mean, these [concerns about teenagers having access to guns] are questions that are beyond the scope of Metro Schools but need to be addressed by the broader community

That broader community? Why that's called the federal government.

The answers: we can provide our children with thoughts and prayers. Because each bullet these children take is a bullet not used on our precious CEOs.

I was hoping Luigi's fame would inspire these deranged assholes to leave school kids alone and go after more CEOs. But alas...

Tbf it still may, not for "school" shootings but for active shooter/mass shooter incidents done by adults (like nightclubs, vegas, etc) who have more resources. Unless you just happen to know a CEO it takes some doing to get within range, and some teen stealing daddy's gun and taking his anger out on his peers in a murder/suicide is A) Just different and B) Probably not financially nor physically able to drop off the grid for a few months and travel a few states to shoot a guy on his way to a business meeting.

Adults unlike kids at least ostensibly have the means and ability, but the crimes are still fundamentally different, really.

Once again the sophisticated method for undermining the AI system is exactly the thing you would do if you didn't know it was there. At best this reduces costs relative to paying a human being to look at cameras. More reasonably I don't know how to compare the relative error rates but I suspect it isn't nearly as favorable as the hype men would try to tell us.

Cause AI sucks and the answer to school violence and guns is, for sure, NOT AI

What if AI could detect bullying

then I’d tell it to shove itself into a fucking locker, that’s what

I would put AI's clothes in the toilet while it was in gym class.
