Automated Racist Hetero Fascism fucking sucks.
There’s a dystopian term for that already. It’s called PreCrime.
These tech bros , corrupt politicians, CEOs and shareholders need to be rounded up and thrown in these prisons because they never stop committing crimes
It “proves” itself too. Your algo puts them in solitary, and they don’t commit any crimes. Proof it works! /s
“We put this into the magic computer box so that we can optimize
racismplacement of incarcerated individuals.”
As a prisoner I would do everything I could to become absolutely unpredictable.
from walking backwards in the lot, to doing cartwheels in my cell.
Which would have you right at the top of the watchlist. Gotta keep an eye on this guy; you never know what he’s gonna do.
Really? Did you use it on Mango Mussolini?
Wasn’t there a good short story about this turned into a worse movie?
No that was a movie where they would arrest innocent people before they committed crimes. Fictional situation that’s completely different. What they are doing here is probably just for ‘good to know’ type of information… Right?
There’s also an anime with a rather similar premise

At this point, why do they care about predicting crime? Can’t they just say “everyone is guilty, unless they are
friendsin business relationship with us.”Because we know what predicts crime. Wealth inequality, unemployment and job insecurity, bad education, healthcare and especially mental health, segregation, that kind of thing. But by painting over it with AI with the right training data it can be blamed on personal responsibility and nothing to do with societal structural issues, so certain rich folks kan keep getting more rich.
“it can be blamed on personal responsibility” so, this equals to “magic box says you are a bad person”, at which point the magic box could just be a single “are we in business relationship with this person, yes or no?” decision. This was my point. You don’t need complicated machinery if you know what results you want out of it.
In the past the magic box was called God, or nation or clan, now it is called AI. There’s always a puppeteer behind the box, so why bother actually wasting resources on the internals of the box.
Because these people want to avoid an “are we the baddies” moment, so a nice elaborate magic box full of plausible deniability is prefered. Everybody wants to be the hero in their own story and the fancier the story the better.
sadly , that’s a plausible explanation
Just an excuse to further persecute prisoners without accountability. “Sorry it was a technical fault.”
They’ve managed to turn »we think you might be dangerous« into a number on a screen, which apparently makes it science. And when that number ruins someone’s chances of rehabilitation, everyone gets to shrug and blame the software. What a convenient little invention.
Let’s be honest we’re not going for rehabilitation here, American prisons are designed for two things: slavery and cruelty.
I just saw the movie “Brazil” and boy, that “everyone gets to shrug and blame the software.” just sent chills down my back.
Why is Psycho-Pass turning into reality? I hate this timeline
Psycho-Pass mentioned!
I thought of
Total Recallfirst, but yeah Psycho-Pass fits here as wellEdit: wrong sci-fi. Minority Report
“The system said so.”
This is like one step away from Minority Report… Does no one see the parallels? Did no one understand the moral of the story?
But if it were my company, we would implement the terrible bad evil thing correctly. I’m smarter than the villain of the book, obviously.
“Moral”… what is that, exactly? All my years of business education has taught me that morals are antithetical to profits, thus they have no use to modern society.
Everyone sees it. Those in power want it.
No, but when Donald Trump see the word Minor, he get aroused.
Lots of us understood. No one in power considers it a bad thing.
Yeah we have read it, we’re working on it would be the standard answer
“Move fast and break things”. And by “things” they also mean society.
Divide and conquer at home
Phillip K. Dick was so prophetic that he had to drowned himself in drugs to keep from seeing more horrors.
On a similar note, if Hunter S Thompson was still alive he would have killed himself all over again
At least he got to be shot out of a cannon.
Yay! More thought crime!!
