The difference being that operators aren’t working tired, distracted, and irritable for their entire shift while AI is functionally brain damaged the entire time.
If you’re going to refuse to acknowledge that just listening for the word ‘yes’ isn’t enough in an emergency situation then there’s no point in continuing this. Which, if it’s literally just a binary yes/no why the hell do we need AI and not ‘press 1 if you’re calling about x emergency’?
Again, a human being and an LLM strapped on top of voice recognition are not the same thing. A person can understand tone and context that an LLM can’t. It absolutely can’t perform at the same level while taking fucking drive through orders and you think it can function in an emergency? ‘Well people can make mistakes too’ isn’t going to bring back anyone who dies because of this.
It doesn’t have to be a stroke, do you really think that’s the only thing that can make people confused or give anything other than the expected answer? Panic, being hard of hearing, sometimes people even have to pretend to be calling someone else so that they can call for help in front of an abuser.
You’re really married to the idea of this being unable to go wrong.
I gave a single example of one way that AI can miss a genuine emergency in a way that a human operator won’t. ‘Nobody will ever call 911 with a stroke and be confused’ isn’t a realistic defense of removing the best system we have of assessing information, the human brain.
I’d do quarter-ish inch thick rounds or quarters, rub them with some salt and oil, and add whatever herbs and spices you like. Hard to go wrong with garlic.
That’s awesome! My teacher was working on his and had some insane number of pages written on his thesis, I think like 300? But he seemed to be loving it, so I hope you do too.
I almost did art history, but for the job market (and I live in a place with a ton of art museums). The one art history course I took was fantastic, though.
Have you thought of pursuing further education to be an antiques appraiser through Sotheby’s? That was something my art history professor recommended, and I did consider it tempting but ultimately decided against it.
I don’t think there’s a good way to evaluate how ‘marketable’ a degree is when that depends so much on where you’re talking about. There are degrees that are way easier to use to get a job here in Los Angeles than they would be in, say, Nebraska.
The one security dude I see standing by the door in some US grocery stores isn’t kitted out like this. The difference is the level of violence they’re prepared for.
What if someone is obviously out of their mind and says yes? Random example, say someone has a stroke and has just barely figured out how to use the big red emergency call button on their phone screen. The AI asks if they are calling about blah blah emergency. Maybe the person only understands half of it, thinks they’re being asked if they’re calling about an emergency and say “yes”. Now they’re stuck having a form letter read to them by AI while their brain is dying. A person would catch something was up even if they said yes.
The article even notes this can be a problem without anything medical going on:
It's also possible that AI agents handling 911 triage could fail to understand individuals with stronger accents and dialects, as well as differences in pitch and articulation. This is because AI is programmed with automatic speech recognition systems and, therefore, could potentialy be unreliable when presented with a speech unlike the ones used the AI is trained to recognize.
Responding to people having emergencies is too important a task to leave up to voice recognition slapped on top of an LLM.
I’m so sorry, that’s heartbreaking. Cats are experts at getting into and doing things they shouldn’t, even when you take steps to keep them safe. Remember that she spent her time with you loved.
It puts trans people in a weird spot, our risk is basically 'lol idk probably closer to your gender than your sex at birth if you're on HRT but who knows.' I'm convinced that going on T in my young adulthood made some specific autoimmune weirdness that runs on my mom's side not show up in me, while my sisters all have to deal with autoimmune shit. But it's not like I have a twin that didn't transition to test that hypothesis on, and I can't imagine there are many (if any) population studies of trans people on HRT and what/if any change there is to autoimmune risk.
When I visited a place in Central America this was what the grocery store looked like. Although the guards probably had a lot less authority to just kill anyone, and their faces were uncovered.
If you’re not some weird troll, your doctors are morons for not suggesting a sleep study if you went to them with half as much information as you’ve told lemmy like five different times.
