We previously reported on how Andrew Frame, the founder of Citizen, used the app to put a $30,000 bounty on an alleged arsonist's head during the 2021 Palisades, Los Angeles fires. It was the wrong person and they were innocent. At one point during that event, Citizen’s head of community Prince Mapp said “We have mobilized a city to bring one person to justice.”

what the fuck

In one case AI mistranslated “motor vehicle accident” to “murder vehicle accident.”

NGL I kinda like this one. !fuckcars@lemmy.world

I don't want to give up an email to read the article, but from what I could read the company is making money from the state and is reducing the workforce trying to replace them with AI.

As usual, it's failing spectacularly.
