"Everyone should have access to answers, evidence, and data regarding the effectiveness and dangers of this technology. Axon and its customers claim this technology will revolutionize policing, but it remains to be seen how it will change the criminal justice system, and who this technology benefits most.

For months, EFF and other organizations have warned about the threats this technology poses to accountability and transparency in an already flawed criminal justice system. Now we've concluded the situation is even worse than we thought: There is no meaningful way to audit Draft One usage, whether you're a police chief or an independent researcher, because Axon designed it that way.

Draft One uses a ChatGPT variant to process body-worn camera audio of public encounters and create police reports based only on the captured verbal dialogue; it does not process the video. The Draft One-generated text is sprinkled with bracketed placeholders that officers are encouraged to add additional observations or information—or can be quickly deleted. Officers are supposed to edit Draft One's report and correct anything the Gen AI misunderstood due to a lack of context, troubled translations, or just plain-old mistakes. When they're done, the officer is prompted to sign an acknowledgement that the report was generated using Draft One and that they have reviewed the report and made necessary edits to ensure it is consistent with the officer’s recollection. Then they can copy and paste the text into their report. When they close the window, the draft disappears.

Any new, untested, and problematic technology needs a robust process to evaluate its use by officers. In this case, one would expect police agencies to retain data that ensures officers are actually editing the AI-generated reports as required...

Okay, ich hab’s ernsthaft ausprobiert: Einen Tag lang Code Engineering mit Roo Code.
Fazit: Ich kehre zurück zum klassischen Vibe Coding über die ChatGPT-Eingabezeile.

Warum?
– Vergisst laufend Kontext
– Loop-Schleifen im Prozess
– Ahnungslos bei Library-Nutzung
– Und teuer: Viele API Calls, 20 $ später noch kein lauffähiger Code.

Also wieder: Terminal, Kaffee, Promptfenster.

TIL That I could use #ChatGPT to digitize points from a graph in a published paper

> The educational establishment is worried and they should be. Not because students might cheat, but because the entire framework we've built around learning, assessment and human capability is dissolving before our eyes.

“Newhalem” sounds like a town name that #ChatGPT would make up.
