    Reminder to watch Minority Report again… I don’t even remember whether that movie was any good or not

  • Hey, remember when pre-musk twitter had to turn off their extremism automod for republican politicians because they were constantly spewing the same patterns of extremist content that actual ISIS-supporting accounts were?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

  • And it will say people of lower economic classes and foreign origin are the biggest risk. Will action be taken to help these people? Nah. This is just going to be a technological excuse for some good ol’ repression.

    570 recorded homicides between March 2023 and 2024.

    Data on “hundreds of thousands” of people can’t provide the distinguishing markers to even have a stab at this.

    It can reliably predict when people are black, though.

    Oh boy! …Here we go, dropping a new Dystopia again!

    So… What happens when it is wrong?

      We find out the guy running the tool has been manipulating it and is the murderer.

      No it is never wrong, just super early. Just arrest people at 18 for crime they will do at 60 obviously.

  • Didn’t they try this in Florida and it basically became officers harassing the fuck out of a teenage kid and his mom at all hours of the night?

    E: yeah, fuck this shit.

    hey lets feed the guessing machine crime data generated from policing by a bunch of racist ass cops. No way will the resulting “predictions” be racist

    Be ready to go to jail for shit you never did, and then be forced to watch the thing you never did for your entire sentence. What do you think you’ll do when you are released?

    • 11 months

      You’re assuming they’ll ever release you.

        “I’m sorry; we predicted that, if we were to release you now, you’ll murder someone.”

          That’s actually the idea. It’s not general precrime, it’s a decision support tool for predicting recidivism when deciding parole cases.

          That doesn’t mean it’s not on decidedly shonky ground statistically speaking.

    This will only dehumanize and discriminate people that enjoy drugs or have been kicked down by society. It will never catch the people that are actual killers. The only ones that can be predicted are those kids in gangs with their machetes. But those are all a risk already.

    I wonder if it will flag a lack of social care by the government as possible factor. Lmao.
