    I believe the measuring apparatus “sees” the outcome and causes the collapse of the wave function. Then the results would look the same to 2 human observers. Apparently there’s some debate amongst physicists on what constitutes an “observer”.


  • AIs can be trained to detect AI generated images, so then the race is only whether the AI produced images get better faster than the detector can keep up or not.
    More likely as the technology evolves AIs, like a human, will just train real-time-ish from video taken from it’s camera eyeballs.
    …and then, of course, it will KILL ALL HUMANS.



  • That wasn’t the decision. There’s not an ice cube’s chance in hell he went through the longer thought process it would take at the speed events unfolded to contemplate, “hmm, you know what, this kid has 2 whole mushroom bars in that car and he appears to be trying to leave with them, and he’s now accelerating towards me, or at least in such a close proximity to me that it’s now dangerous, probably not dangerous for my colleagues whom have just driven up because I can see the future like a Jedi all of a sudden and know what’s going to happen before it happens, but they still have those damn mushroom bars and my partner and I we’re going to split one of them after the bust and I owe him for talking that hooker he busted last weekend into getting let off in trade for giving me a free beeg behind Wendys, so I really need those mushroom bars and that’s totally the reason I better start blasting.”
    😆

    The decision was, “suspect driving at me, he’s now a danger to me or my colleagues, shoot at danger.”

    Don’t matter how they all got there.
    Cops and correction officers are trained to take the decision making process out of the equation for faster reaction times.
    I’m in no way saying that’s the best, or even a good-at-all way to train cops, but it’s predictable.

    So, what’d we all learn?
    This cop in question certainly is a fuck up and should be fired, and charged for the extant he can be.
    Officer training needs work.
    2 mushroom bars remains a very stupid reason to arrest someone in the first place, and mushrooms should be legalized. But it doesn’t matter in this case because laws are laws.
    The Victim was killed over attempting to flee, because we know now how cause-and-effect works, and the mushroom bars can’t be the cause because had he not fled, he wouldn’t have been shot at and killed.
    Ops tag line was sensationalized to remove blame from the vic and add blame to the cops because, well they deserve it, but also because we’re in the police problem sub. It lacks though because, “2 magic mushroom chocolate bars” can be substituted with, “bust”, or, “drug deal gone wrong”, or, “waxing gibbous moon”…and those would all be valid, therefore if it’s any of them, it’s none.
    They were there and present over mushroom bars, but the Victim was killed over ( what I’m sure the cop will say in court is) attempt vehicular homicide.
    And, Don’t.fucking.run.from.cops. regardless of their training.
    Cheers.



  • I’m with you, that it was mishandled and the cop who fired is incompetent, I’m with you that loss of life is terrible, I’m with you that setting up a sort of sting to buy 2 zoomer-bars is a waste of taxpayer money. It’s all an injustice. As I said before the victim might not even have known the guy was a cop…
    But they didn’t kill him over “nothing” they killed him over the flee attempt.
    The guy must have been a known drug dealer for them to bother setting up. And reminder, he had a loaded semi-auto rifle in the vehicle. Though it doesn’t say anything about the legality of that weapon.

    Anyway, here’s a scenario:
    Man walks into convenience store.
    Man shoplifts a chocolate bar.
    Cop notices.
    Cop says “hey stop”.
    Man pulls hidden GRENADE from his pocket, pulls the pin, and attempts to throw at vicinity of cop.
    Police shoot and kill man.

    The way you say your headline should read:
    DOJ says police officer justified in killing man for shoplifting chocolate bar.

    I mean…c’mon.


  • Yeah gonna have to disagree with you on that.
    The way that that is worded is exactly what I wanted to draw attention to.
    That MW definition (preposition 7b) shows examples, “trouble over money” and, “met with advisors over lunch”.
    For this, “over” can be substituted with, “because of” for the former but not the later.
    Op means to incite emotional response from readers by using the “because of” version. And even if cops are fucked, that’s bullshit to not show all sides of the story.
    That’s some Fox News shit.
    You could say they were “set up” over 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars. But not killed over. The chocobars didn’t even come into play for the killing. They were just the reason all parties were there.
    It could have happened over an M&M, or a dirty briefcase nuke, just the same.
    To make a tag line to imply it was over something petty seems to be intentional to belittle law enforcement, and is just part of the agenda for Op, whether it be controversy for the upvotes, or actual distrust or hate for cops, whatever. The killing happened because of the shitty decisions by both the victim and the killer.
    I’d like to point out I think very poorly of this cop. Wrongdoing by law enforcement should be called out. Killing should be punished.
    But I mean…, I’ve been put in the drunk tank before and I’ll tell you right now, cops doing their job can work totally fine if you don’t resist, and don’t try to flee. If a cop says get on the ground and you do and you shut the fuck up, you’re likelyhood to not be shot, or even treated that badly, goes way the fuck up.


  • The 22 y/o wasn’t killed, “over 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars”, he was killed because he accelerated his vehicle in an attempt to flee, and came somewhat close to hitting the officer.
    However, before the victim accelerated, the officer who shot the young man jumped out of the passenger door of an unmarked police truck and drew his weapon, no audio in the video.
    There’s a very real chance the victim did not know he was a cop, and panicked. He should be excused of that, had he lived.
    The officer fucked up hard, jumping out an unmarked vehicle with no emergency lights, waving a gun around?
    Fuck, I’d run over anyone who does that to me, and I think most would do similar.
    Then also not practicing restraint in firing his weapon after clearly no more danger existed once the car passed him, guy’s a fucking clown.
    The only reason the second police vehicle (which showed up from behind just as the victim accelerated) was even hit at all is because the victim had been shot and couldn’t steer the vehicle.
    The cop should be charged with second degree, or at minimum some kind of reckless endangerment resulting in death, and fired.
