I don't know if this communication officer realize the ridicule of her statement.
When asked to clarify the communications officer provided the following evidence:
"As you can see in this image the student is squinting a little bit, exactly what you would do if you were aiming."
"Also, you can see by his stance that he is trying to create stability with one foot a little forward."
"I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was actually a trial run and he is testing the AI for weaknesses."
i believe it might be possible to trigger an alert with empty hands, based on analysis, as well as telescopes, maybe guitars, science class projects such as sextants, trigonometry exercises for those rare birds that do practical math lessons.
really the student manual should specify which gestures, and postures are prohibited AI triggers, akin to pulling a fire alam.
is drama or theatre still a thing in high school? that seems like a major issue there.
at the risk of repeating myself, if school is that dangerous, why are we sending children there?
Insanity. That isn't "denial of a problem", or a tendency anymore. _One order of magnitude_ worse than any western civilization.
Other countries have "wake up calls" and act accordingly.
Still, close to every US blockbuster movie "solves" problems with guns. That's cynical, considering the real world suffering.
Postwar kids, now in corporate and political leadership, were raised in a more militant, religious society.
Society is still shedding the paranoia and codependency they observed and have locked away in their neural networks.

It's not the media itself causing mental health crisis but the militant policing and guilt trips at non-conformism
Financial engineering is being used the same way; keeping the next generation poor because they don't want to kowtow to a rich elder.
Gun detection is a solved problem. Even shopping malls and hotels in developing countries get this right.
in my youth a number of fellow students constructed miniature crossbows, utilizing things issued by the school, and pilfered from the building. they could penetrate office dividers, and were tipped with exacto blades ! it was a badge of how "cool" you were.
My dad was in the gun club at his high school and brought a rifle to class regularly. It was fine. Guns aren't the problem.
Maybe not the whole problem but surely part of it?
Student was intentionally dressed in military camo as part of a dress up.
The camera is probably grainy garbage at poor angle.
It's a reasonable assessment, probably a human being would double take in the same situation.
The problem is not having a human check the AI alert before locking down the school.
The problem is having a society where people regularly take guns into schools and public places and commit mass murder.
The cherry on top is that they refuse to provide statistics on their technology - something I assumed would’ve been table stakes to propagate it nation wide. And yet, the USA still has deadly school shootings on a weekly basis…
It's simply the price we have to pay to live in the only truly free nation in the world. Tyranny can't happen here because our government cowers in fear of America's militias and its armed populace.
