@Ashedryden It's exasperating how many cops, technocrats, and marketing dweebs seem to think "Minority Report" was an instructional video.

This *looks* like a pro-social use of AI, but it's not https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/ai-data-children-predict-criminals-fwclzh323 -
Have you wondered where the claim that autistic people lack empathy came from?@KatyElphinstone The whole "lack of #empathy" idea builds on the #TheoryOfMind idea, which is rotten to the core. The basic paper applying it to #autistics (Baron-Cohen, Leslie, and Frith 1985) got the idea from an irredeemably flawed paper that had applied it to CHIMPANZEES[!] (Premack and Woodruff 1978). Both papers are hopelessly confused about what it even MEANS to say that a person — or an animal — has, or does not have, a "theory of mind". Both of these groups of researchers should have gotten clear on their concepts BEFORE conducting any experiments — and since they didn’t, both papers should have been refused publication.
