I want to know how many caller's lives are worth not having to hire human 911 dispatchers, or pay them a decent wage.

Because this will kill people. Not get people killed. AI use in 911 answering will actively kill people.

@eff Sadly shipping to Europe is almost as costly as the dice. 🙁

I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade.

To really understand how absolutely terrible an idea it is to have AI answer 911 calls, I'll present you with a single real-life call:

Upon answer, the caller calmly began ordering a pizza. Large, pepperoni. Side order of chicken wings. To be delivered promptly.

The only sign the caller gave that things were amiss? She rather ignored the first few questions from the calltaker.

Because she was being physically abused, had already been beaten, and her abuser was *IN THE ROOM* listening to her order pizza.

Tell me how your AI is going to read between those lines.

@cstross No thank you.
I think I’ll stick with the giant space helmet chair.

We had to install smart meters for our hydro. Now every few months they want me to take a reading and send it to them because they can’t attach to it. 🙄

@1337core ich glaube da geht noch einiges... also bis zur Landung.

I finally read Han Kang's The Vegetarian. Certainly a disturbing, unsettling, and poetic book. Compelling and intriguing, but violent. I have not properly collected my thoughts on it yet but suspect it will remain with me for a while.

@nileane Les écologistes ne travaillent tellement pas qu'ils ne voient même pas que cette loi n'a rien à voir avec la protection des enfants (sinon le gouvernement aurait géré Betharam, Epstein et les autres affaires de pédophilie bien autrement) mais tout à voir avec le contrôle généralisé de la population. Une fois que tout le monde a mis sa carte d'identité, fini l'anonymat pour tout le monde et bonjour la censure pour les opposant.e.s.

💸💸 Why is Meta destroying its engineering organization?

｢ Everyone overuses AI to boost their personal stats. An engineering workforce that pretends to work with as much AI, and as little human input, as possible. It’s a strange incentive where an outage caused by a failure to review code properly is not grounds for dismissal, but writing code by hand – instead of having an AI agent write it – could cost you your job ｣
