    OK, to save you all a click: he’s saying that he’s using AI to triage tips, so that they can process all the tips that come in, and that way they’ve been able to stop two school shootings.

    What dogshit journalism. “They claim they’ve stopped (a few) school shootings” gets shortened to “They’ve stopped school shootings”, so that you’ll think J Edgar Boozer is claiming to have stopped all school shootings, and click the article so that they get those sweet ad dollars.

    Maybe someone can confirm how they know that those kids were definitely going to shoot up their schools and aren’t just suspected of having wanted to do it.

      Can’t prove a negative.

      They think they stopped school shootings based on criteria they made up. Unless someone was physically on the way to a school, armed, they didn’t stop anything.

    The director of the FBI just admitted they sold all our the countries classified information to evil tech billionaires across the globe to spy on americans…

    This will backfire soon, if not already backfiring on the american people.

    Hol up. Rewind. It’s “stopped school shootings” and you are “using it everywhere.”

      Not just one shooting. It inspired many murders, suicides and murder suicides.

      The recent tumbler ridge shooting in Canada was made possible by chatgpt, as was another one in Florida last year.

          the ones that arnt voting republicans but are racists, are basically republicans that arnt out loud about it. you can see many come out of the woodworks as a “republican” when they knew it was safe financially/ PR wise because of trump. especially with so many actors/celebs you thought were somewhat progressive , turns out to be pos. Sinese wasnt by accident coming out of the woodworks, eventhough he supports vets he was rather more than a coincidence right at the time of the eleciton, and him “leaving hollywood” which cause suspicion too. frankie muniz was actually surprising, he idolizes JOE ARPiao and he claimed in an interview saying he did not like his co-stars" political opinions", aka progessive/leftists opinions., yikes but it all make sense since he does “nascar”

          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.

              The diet over the millennia has influenced their genetics as well, as does happen, so it’s diet, genetic, and cultural.

                i doubt they can walk far, if they are fat already. like significantly overweight people waddles around like penguin instead of an actually walking.

                  It’s not as comfortable, certainly, but there are very overweight people with active jobs (my husband’s a butcher, and this describes about a third of the people working in his shop- they’re on their feet and walking around, lifting half hogs and doing really physical work).

                  For most people, as long as you stay active, you can continue to be active. If you’re completely or mostly inactive, it will take some time to gradually build up your endurance, and that’s certainly more difficult, the more weight you have to move, but walking is very low impact. I’m not suggesting that two people with BMIs of 22 and 42, respectively, would have identical walking endurance, but it’s not uncommon in my very walkable German town to encounter very overweight people who walk a ton.

                  Walking is obviously better at burning calories than driving, but we’re really efficient walkers and it’s not very difficult to eat enough to be obese while using walking as your primary mode of travel. If you walk at a moderate pace with little incline for 2 hours a day at 150kg, you’ll likely burn between 700-1000 calories (way more information is needed to get an exact number), and you can completely neutralize that by eating an order of fries with mayo, or a container of Ben and Jerry’s.

              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.

    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.
