Does no one there remember Minority Report?
Automated Racist Hetero Fascism fucking sucks.
Don’t be cisphobic, please.
People downvote you. Absolutely amazing how people are against the most basic things and instead make the exact same anti-other-group shit.
So I’m hetero and, by American measure, of a not hated racial background. But suppose I’ve liked some absolutely amazing girls who are, unfortunately, not hetero (or I’m not cool enough to transcend that barrier), and the guy who’ve introduced me to the concept of aerodynamics (when I was a kid) using frisbees as example was an African student, but I have some ideas that might be called fascist here, so can we please be more nuanced with what sucks?
I mean, OK, I’m not automated, but how do you know.
but I have some ideas that might be called fascist here
That’s a hell of a thing to just gloss over when asking for more nuance, especially these days.
IRL what of my ideas can be called fascist is usually expressed by leftists, mostly anarchists. Systems of laws and influences with time become too complex for a society to not be constrained with them, and also dominated by negative selection of authority figures, which means you need violence to allow them to evolve further. I don’t mean mass executions and dictatorships, just things like copyright and patents being bad, but not always, things like freedom of speech being good, but not always, and in general no absolutes being true.
At the same time anarchist and leftist arguments don’t seem to explain those parts and seem to keep them as pure emotion, while fascism has explanations (by its own rules, of course).
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
Here’s the algorithm:
White male? Low risk to reoffend!
Everyone else? Maximum risk of repeat violent crimes!
Depends on who is responsible for the training input data. Elon’s Grock Mecha-Hitler? Very likely it would do exactly as you suggest.
Can they use this on politicians even if they have not been convicted yet?
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
That’s it! I’m gonna buy some of that american prison stock on questrade and start ratting out my neighbours for fun and profit! /s
It’s always the question what is optimized for. We had the public discourse in the west destroyed by so called algorithms (it was billionaires hiding behind algorithms). They just did not have the same incentives as the rest of humanity.
Same here, high recidivicism could be optimal for shareholder value and such.
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.
better to be ungovernable than be a cog in their wheel.
“This dude is unpredictable… dont let him out”
Replace torment nexus with minority report
Except in minority report the system was accurate over 50% of the time.
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.
“Death panels” was always projection.
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
That was the first sci-fi I thought of when I read this too
Psycho-Pass mentioned!
I thought of
Total Recallfirst, but yeah Psycho-Pass fits here as wellEdit: wrong sci-fi. Minority Report
Let’s be honest we’re not going for rehabilitation here, American prisons are designed for two things: slavery and cruelty.
“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?
Everyone sees it. Those in power want it.
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.
Yeah we have read it, we’re working on it would be the standard answer
“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.
Lots of us understood. No one in power considers it a bad thing.
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.
We can be sure it is ramping up racist outcomes because it is trained on human input.
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.
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.
Better times back then,
