Replace torment nexus with minority report
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.
I just saw the movie “Brazil” and boy, that “everyone gets to shrug and blame the software.” just sent chills down my back.
Let’s be honest we’re not going for rehabilitation here, American prisons are designed for two things: slavery and cruelty.
“Death panels” was always projection.
“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?
No, but when Donald Trump see the word Minor, he get aroused.
In the 90s he would have been, not sure what the situation is down there. In 2016 it allegedly still worked.
“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.
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
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.
There’s a dystopian term for that already. It’s called PreCrime.
Phillip K. Dick was so prophetic that he had to drowned himself in drugs to keep from seeing more horrors.
Yeah I’m just waiting for Palmer Eldritch to return, fully transformed, from the far reaches of the cosmos.
We can be sure it is ramping up racist outcomes because it is trained on human input.
They will commit future crimes when an opportunity presents itself.
Done and done, no AI tokens needed. Thank you
ETA from article
In one case reported by ProPublica, a blind and wheelchair bound 70-year-old was determined to be a “moderate risk” of reoffending despite having a clean disciplinary record
That will be one million dollars, please beep boop
“We put this into the magic computer box so that we can optimize
racismplacement of incarcerated individuals.”
If there was a way to change some parameters so the AI does not reinforce racist biases in society.
We tried nothing and all out of options. “The AI said so”
Can they use this on politicians even if they have not been convicted yet?
Just an excuse to further persecute prisoners without accountability. “Sorry it was a technical fault.”
These tech bros , corrupt politicians, CEOs and shareholders need to be rounded up and thrown in these prisons because they never stop committing crimes
Ahhh… the office of precrime!
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
Yay! More thought crime!!
This is one of those self-fulfilling prophecies. If that system doesn’t declare all inmates as “high risk to murder the people that implemented this system,” it’s obviously broken.
