atypicalHippy @atypicalhippy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It might be that a given system gets it to 1 in 2000 (or 1 in 500). That doesn't really change the problem. And it generally isn't that the AI is better or worse, but rather that different trade-offs are being made with less false positives coming at the cost of more false negatives. 000
