  • He is also charged with theft and retaliating against a witness, related to alleged illicit payments he made to a school athletics coach, as well as stalking, prosecutors said

The audio of the recording is here

In summary

The voice refers to “ungrateful Black kids who can't test their way out of a paper bag” and questions how hard it is to get those students to meet grade-level expectations. The speaker uses names of people who appear to be staff members and says they should not have been hired, and that he should get rid of another person “one way or another.”

“And if I have to get one more complaint from one more Jew in this community, I'm going to join the other side,” the voice said.

Darien was being investigated as of December in a theft investigation that had been initiated by Eiswert. Police say Darien had authorized a $1,916 payment to the school's junior varsity basketball coach, who was also his roommate, under the pretense that he was an assistant girls soccer coach. He was not, school officials said. Eiswert determined that Darien had submitted the payment to the school payroll system, bypassing proper procedures. Darien had been notified of the investigation, police said.

Questions about the audio's authenticity quickly followed. Police wrote in charging documents that Darien had accessed the school's network on multiple occasions in December and January searching for OpenAI cowtools, and used “Large Language Models” that practice “deep learning, which involves pulling in vast amounts of data from various sources on the internet, can recognize text inputted by the user, and produce conversational results.” They also connected Darien to an email account that had distributed the recording

It's not AI most likely. To create such a clip you would need a good bit of data to feed a Machine Learning model. There is not that much data on Eiswert out there. Also Eiswert was my AP while I was in highschool, my mother worked with him, my friend worked for him at Pikesville . . . Everyone agrees it's him. He also uses very specific jargon such as “get them on grade level”. This may be a clip that is one audio file spliced into a smaller one. But the AI thing is very far fetched in this instance

I always got the sense there was a lot of latent anger under the surface with that man. Always had a pained expression on his face and never had a single positive thing to say.

AI feels like such a convenient scapegoat.

There appears to be significant anecdotal evidence pointing to Eiswery not only having these viewpoints but actually speaking them aloud in prior situations. The phrase “grade level expectations” is a phrase primarily used by educators to other educators.

We did it reddit! :marseysoyhype: We caught the Boston bomber racist principal!

Holy shit, Eric Eiswert! He was Vice Principal when I was at Catonsville High. It was kind of an open secret he was a piece of shit; my art teacher described him as someone who "ice skates for Jesus"

Police say the clip was received by three teachers the night before it went viral. The first was Darien; a third said she received the email and then got a call from Darien and teacher Shaena Ravenell telling her to check her email. Ravenell told police that she had forwarded the email to a student's cell phone, “who she knew would rapidly spread the message around various social media outlets and throughout the school,” and also sent it to the media and the NAACP, police said.

She did not mention receiving it from Darien until confronted about his involvement. Ravenell has not been charged with a crime and could not immediately be reached for comment.

idk back in 2016 when I was consulting for a school, they had google's school emails where they could create unlimited emails for all the students (there were 5000 students in the school) so like every student, teacher had a school id. They were mainly used to distribute assessments, assignments and login to some SSO linked education apps

Honestly not gonna happen on the GPU front, the only reason they were able to catch up in CPU space was Intel's utter incompetency.

Since 2014, Intel literally only had 1 node jump, and 2 real new architectures (including 11th gen backport) :marseydespair:

Nvidia is unlikely to frick up this badly anytime soon.

I wouldn't call it utter incompetency from intel.

Fabbing bleeding edge nodes is hard. AMD having to spin off global foundries due to their lagging sales ended up being beneficial the past few generations.

Intel foundries is still edging out Samsung LSI. TSMC's 3B seems to be having issues.

I do think intel putting a greater emphasis on being a foundry will pay off long term.

Where AMD has done really well is server chips where they have clawed a ton of marketshare back.

The DIY PC market is largely irrelevant. For notebooks intel actually readily supplies their CPUs and subsidizes OEM designs (the entire Ultrabook push.)

Foundries leapfrog each other. TSMC's 20nm process had planar leakage while Samsung's 14nm finfet was dominating mobile.

He would need to prove that he suffered losses such as decreased income, loss of money, or tarnished reputation because of the action. If the media ran with it and said he's a racist chud, for sure.

It certainly is false representation or fraud, though
