diskmaster23,

Look, another city ignoring the affordable housing situation, and actively developing a software to be the bad guys.

neutron,

There’s no easy solution. Some are evicted from their homes with crushing debt, some have safety nets to depend on, some want to end their homeless situation as soon as possible, some, however, are content with eating discarded food and begging for cash to buy alcohol. Not everyone is a hopeless drug addict or a temporarily inconvenienced millionaires, and this is not even mixing charity into the problem.

My guess is whoever thought on implementing AI into this probably consider this a problem that can be made easy by offloading all our human problems into a black box. It isn’t going to be that way.

gravitas_deficiency,

The city is San Jose.

I so, so hate that journalists and editors everywhere - from NBC to WaPo to podunk local papers - seem to have pretty much acquiesced to the fact that headlines are just going to be clickbait going forward.

RGB3x3,

I can’t stand headlines like these.

I also abhor the recent trend of “she started a trend, now she’s going to prison.” It’s such an annoying clickbait tactic. Just say “local woman going to prison for trend.”

Isoprenoid,
PaddleMaster,

Ha! Very appropriate response.

It’s too bad the programs that actually help people aren’t given more money and people to make it large scale. Instead, we get this.

I’m sure this won’t be used for horrible dystopian decision making

WhatAmLemmy,

This application IS the dystopian decision making in action. What’s done with this info won’t be any better.

NocturnalEngineer,

Unless it’s used to find them shelter & permanent accommodation. But that’s never going to happen.

People with the tiniest grip of power are very quick to forget the human factors.
