NYC police have spent millions on a tech company that claims it can use AI to monitor social media and predict future criminals::The New York Police Department paid Voyager Labs more than $8 million in 2018. The company says it uses AI to analyze criminal behavior online.
Did we learn NOTHING from Minority Report???
Yes, they report the minorities.
“DID YOU HIDE THE MINORITY REPORT? I WANT THE TRUTH!”
“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”
Well with marjuana becoming legal in more and more places the police need a new way to generate probable cause on demand.
Are we at psycho pass levels yet?
Mmm let me see . Nope. Still white
…of course it’s NYC. For as liberal NY is in general, the police are 1984 levels of nuts.
Even if you’re not doing crime, they don’t care. They will fly a drone over your backyard to make sure.
Ah, I see we’re creating the Torment Nexus once again.
The moment you realise America has become the worlds Florida(man).
If they actually found a way to predict the future, they should put it to use in the stock market, not sell the tech to cops. Way more money that way.
Honestly, detecting criminals in the stock market isn’t a bad idea, the problem is they all are.

I’ll say this once and slowly… FUCK. THE. POLICE.
Ooooh I really hope they scam them out of their money. This would be a perfect opportunity to hook the NYPD on crypto too. /s
This can only end in more institutionalized racism and other forms of oppression by the NYPD.
The problem is that the scam will hurt a lot of innocent people along the way. They won’t produce any actually useful data, but they will false flag a whole bunch of accounts, most likely on the basis of racial profiling or supporting unions. Y’know, the usual stuff.
Please stop reifying things from cautionary tales.
I will continue to watch wheres981 swim through traffic as the NYC police fail to catch him for the 999999nth time lol.
“Sir, are these your shitposts?”
Uhhhh….
“Okay sir, these memes will lead to nuclear war, so you will need to become a particular individual in jail.”This is literally the plot of Watch Dogs.
I can easily undercut their price by predicting every young male in all the poor neighbourhoods.
It’s definitely going to turn out well.
