Patel is dishonest and this claim is fabricated, reflecting a broader pattern of false statements.

“The man is nuts. If they were preventing school shooting they would make sure it is all over the press.”

Even if the claim were true, it would be unremarkable given AI adoption has increased everywhere in the past two years.
-
“And even if the stat isn't totally bullshit, and we assume that the AI usage is actually productive and useful, are we supposed to be surprised or impressed that AI usage has increased in the last 2 years?”

I just prevented six more by refusing to listen to Kash Patel. Obviously listening to him will lead to more violence. So obviously I'm saving someone.

- Has the FBI actually stopped any school shootings using AI, and if so, where is the public record?
- Why would such a significant preventive success not be publicized by law enforcement or media?

I prevented a school shooting just now. I decided that I won't go shoot up a school tomorrow. Or Tuesday. Now thats two in a row I just stopped. Wait! I'll go tell my buddy not to do that either. That's three! Is that how his logic works?

It's very Minority Report. What's scary is how much of MR has come to fruition. Predictive surveillance and flying cars still not implemented but most else came true including retina scanners and vapes.
-
So how did the AI determine what are possible crimes being planned? Did Patel just admit the regime is engaged in mass surveillance? No arrests and no evidence beyond a headline so it’s a BS claim.
-
1984 and Minority Report spring to mind. AI needs data to function. Where is it getting it's data to predict a crime?

And that's just in the past six days! Every day, he asks the FBI's extra special Ka$hAI if he should shoot up a school. And every day, the agent assigned to dress up like a robot says "BEEP BEEP BEEP PROCESSING INSIGHTFUL QUESTION... BEEP BEEP BEEP... ANSWER CALCULATED: NO! BEEP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP"

AI is 92% effective at preventing the shootings it made up!
-
"I have increased the use of AI by 605%...". Not 600%. SIX HUNDRED AND FIVE PERCENT! 😅
-
Half a dozen, he says. But no media coverage of this miraculous new tool. Not a word. Seems like Kash is lying again.

The man is nuts. If they were preventing school shooting they would make sure it is all over the press. cbwrong.

“And that more than makes up for Hegseth’s use of AI blowing up a school at the start of the Iran war.”
-
I've used AI to pick the losing Mega Millions numbers.
-
Absolutely 0% chance this is happening. Kash is using Ai to add huge boobs to photos of sexy farm animals.

There are some people who when you walk away after listening to them you are dumber. This interview contains two of them. Imagine a world where the FBI served the people and not the wealthy Epstein class donors. No one has been arrested for crimes related to the Trump - Epstein files .

“Are those ‘school shootings’ in the room with you now, Mr Patel?”
-
In this case I'm assuming AI = alcohol induced hallucinations?
-
Can you imagine Patel and Paxton in a room together trying to look at one another with their sets of eyes?

Trying to fix our psycho gun culture with the psycho computer nails something about the essence of America.

Is that the same Ai that targeted the girls school in Iran?
-
How about a school bombing further east? Did they try that ? Narrator: No they did not.
-
How'd it work out when it came to killing all those little Iranian school girls? Kind of in reverse, huh?
