The Ministry of Justice is developing a system that aims to ‘predict’ who will commit murder, as part of a “data science” project using sensitive personal data on hundreds of thousands of people.
Thought crimes. Neat.
Is Tom Cruise going to run the program?
Call it Minority Report
Reminder to watch Minority Report again… I don’t even remember whether that movie was any good or not
Can’t believe that movie is looking to become a reality in my lifetime.
It’s great!
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.
a stab
I see what you did there 😄
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
Great—let’s test it on politicians and law enforcement first.
US LEO are the real ones. In UK+EU they really aren’t murderous villains, many don’t even carry a gun.
And politicians don’t murder, they just fleece us.
Precrime is here!
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.
Getting closer to PSYCHO-PASS
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?
social rating here we go
Hasn’t this been tried before? and failed
Let’s call it project insight.
