Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations

I am Canadian, how can I help? Because this shit is coming to Canada, too.
The only hope is to immigrate to a place without this shit.

I don't understand why she was arrested, her "threat" was obviously a joke. I guess jokes are illegal now

It not just schools. Its everywhere. I was on reddit just last week, talking about when I was 15 and fancying one of my teachers. I got banned for "soliciting sex from a minor"... And whats worse, when I appealed, they upheld it. Some human actually read a comment in which I spoke about when I was 15. And took that to mean I was asking kids if they want to see some puppies or something. The insane online world of the far left and right has fucked us all.

AI is a virus
AI is a machine that cannot be held accountable and has no will.
Stop being distracted by the tool, look at the humans.

This is frustrating. Obviously it's not okay to make jokes like that and I even think some sort of punishment might be okay, but strip searching and jailing her overnight? You aren't creating someone who will think before they speak, you're making someone who will be paranoid of all legal processes and never trust any government official ever again for anything because they got fucking STRIP SEARCHED AND DETAINED OVERNIGHT over a really shitty joke.
It's ok to make jokes.

No no no no.

Something tells me that our type of jokes are on the way out bro. As you said, there's no room for nuance in this story, so I'm afraid we'll eventually all be listened in on 100% of the time until someone says something 'actionable'.
If you're not already on a multitude of lists by now, you're doing something wrong.Nah, dark humor is like a child with cancer, it never gets old.

This isn’t the flex you think it is.
Wasn't intended to be. But evil people will find a way to do evil.

The knife homicide rate is literally higher in the US.
If you think I'm trying to say the US is better.. by any measure LOL! -No. The US is a shithole.
My point is that if you take guns out of the equation they'll just be replaced by something else.

What a great way to prepare students for our AI enabled social media and digital surveillance society. Take note kids, trust no one!

how is the school even seeing that stuff? does the software just let them see everything they do?

The problem is a societal one. lets see:
- The kids for bullying her for her tan
- The school boards implementing the surveillance
- The parents who allowed such surveillance in the first place
- The person screening what was flagged for not sending the school counselor to talk with the kid
- The person calling the cops
- The cops for arresting an 8th-grader and DOING A STRIP SEARCH AND KEEPING HER OVERNIGHT WTF instead of handing her over to her parents
This has gone through too many hands to even start blaming the companies. anyone in this chain had the opportunity to do the right thing (ok, maybe the teens didn't, they don't know any better). Noone did.
Surveillance shouldn't be so pervasive, but i have no issue with e.g. surveillance in a prison, maybe in a hospital (not in the patient rooms, but to make sure noone steals the good stuff or to make sure no patients are lost in a service tunnel), at a border, inside of police stations to make sure that prisoner rights are upheld, military bases for obvious reasons and so on.
Your society is the issue, and therefor surveillance is everywhere except where it would be useful.
You're evidently an apologist for these crappy companies.
2 or 3 parents can't do jack shit to avoid this, short of removing the kids from school and having them homeschooled.
There are 3 main factors that allow this shit to happen:
- Companies with absolutely no values and only focusing on revenue, which ends up creating these bullshit AI "systems" that are broken as hell (Chatgpt 5 anyone?)
- Lack of legislations to serve the people that voted for these legislators to live in a better society, but they choose to self-serve and allow the same shitty companies to do whatever they want AND sell their shit to institutions, like schools, law enforcement and such, so that they can get money from them
- Authorities that use these same broken "systems", don't even test them correctly, and take for granted that they will work because they are too fucking lazy to even care, such as schools (that have authority over our kids because we have allowed it) and law enforcement (if they can even still be called that).
There is no way to justify any of the 3 factors as they exist today. These need to change if anything is to get better.
That there are parents that could be doing more to avoid this kind of shit? Absolutely. Will parents pushing for change do anything towards fixing it? Not if the other 3 factors don't play their part as well.
And the reason fucking kids are so fragile today is because of us allowing everything to be called "bullying". So, they joked about the tan, big fucking deal. Learn to take a fucking joke or go live in a cave.
Get fucking real.

Holy shit, the amount of surveillance the teens are under is ungodly and people blame the chatbot? And there wasn't even a human kind enough to speak with the girl before calling the fucking cops? I see a lot of blame to place here, but it's not the chatbot who is to blame.
- The kids for bullying her for her tan
- The school boards implementing the surveillance
- The parents who allowed such surveillance in the first place
- The person screening what was flagged for not sending the school counselor to talk with the kid
- The person calling the cops
- The cops for arresting an 8th-grader and DOING A STRIP SEARCH AND KEEPING HER OVERNIGHT WTF instead of handing her over to her parents
Everyone of them failed a 13 year old girl. All of them should be ashamed.
Ya, AI is not the story here.

When the rain starts coming through this tree, we'll just move to another one.

There is something fundamentally fucked up in a country that arrests and puts in jail a 13 years old kid over a bad joke.
The result of "no tolerance policies".

Lots of wannabe authoritarians out there in educationland.
All those decades that the schools just -couldn't afford- more (well-educated) teachers and smaller class sizes. Lots of low-end look-good.
And then along came tech, and lo-and-behold, IT was going to be the savior. Let's buy into that! We may not be able to teach them to read, write or think, but they can learn to kneel!

Reddit moment: comparing a few racist idiots with daily murders.
"Daily murder" is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it's something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It's easy for there to be a "daily murder" in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.
Using "few" to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.
Shame on you for this disingenuity.
