“Artificial intelligence or intentional stupidity?”

High school student surrounded by police and handcuffed after AI mistakes his bag of Doritos for a gun

WTF?! Even as billions are poured into AI and its use becomes increasingly widespread, we’re still seeing very worrying instances of the technology getting things wrong. A prime example happened at a high school when a student was swarmed by police after an AI thought the Doritos bag he was holding was a gun.

Taki Allen, a 16-year-old high school student at Kenwood High School in Baltimore County, Maryland, got an unwelcome surprise as he sat outside with friends after football practice while waiting to be picked up last week.

Bill’s Commentary:

“This speaks about food banks; they will be overrun. We all remember black and white photos of food lines during The Great Depression. Can you imagine what those lines would look like today if every EBT user stood in that line?”

Food Lines Are Already Growing Longer All Over America

It is already happening.  There has been a lot of talk that there will be a surge in demand at America’s overwhelmed food banks once funding for the food stamp program ends in early November, but the truth is that we are already witnessing a surge in demand.  So what is going to happen if the current government shutdown persists for an extended period of time?  On one recent evening, the line at a food bank in downtown Kansas City “snaked through the parking lot, down a driveway and into the street”

On a recent Thursday evening, the line of cars waiting to pick up food at Redemptorist Social Services Center in midtown snaked through the parking lot, down a driveway and into the street.

Demand for free food is soaring across Kansas City, as job cuts increase, food inflation remains persistently high and federal food assistance is slashed by the Trump administration.

  1. Hi Bill,

    I listen to many of your interviews on other’s Channels. In one of them recently, you mentioned people that hold stocks should register them through the Direct Registration System so we can hold a Stock Certificate, physically, for each of them. I would appreciate you doing a show on just how to do this. I did some quick research on the WEB and found a number of sites will do this for us but THEY will hold the certificates. To me…what’s the point of that endeavor, if someone else holds those certificates instead of me. I think if you do a segment on this, it would help many people…not just me.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Sincerely,

    Sandra
