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.
Reference to Tom cruise movie or other dystopia cyberpunk movie goes here
Ooh, ooh. I’ll play.
Minority Report
Are we all going to have to remove our eyes now? Because I’ve got shit to do.
Where are all the holo screens I was promised?
Police departments have a long history of wasting shitloads of money on stuff that doesn’t work, like voice stress analysis.
We can only hope
Well with marjuana becoming legal in more and more places the police need a new way to generate probable cause on demand.
This is absolutely the best time to start a AI business.
Go ahead. Sell it to morons. Make that paper.
If they get even more excited, say blockchain and see if they bite. And if they do… you know you got yourself a nice payday.
I can easily undercut their price by predicting every young male in all the poor neighbourhoods.
That would be profiling. You see, what this does is it uses a ton of input data and AI to determine who they think is most likely to commit all sorts of minor crimes we’ve codified to disproportionately target poor and minority suspects.
It also kidnapped triplets and uses they’re precognitive capabilities to solve pre-crimes.
Suckers.
Are we at psycho pass levels yet?
Mmm let me see . Nope. Still white
Do people in NYC think the NYPD is weirdly bloated? I don’t live there but, obviously, I get exposed to NYC’s local news whether I want it or not and the NYPD just seems unaccountable and way more involved in politics and graft than other cities’ police departments.
What is baffling to me is that the people of NYC made a police captain their mayor.
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.
Ah, I see we’re creating the Torment Nexus once again.
The moment you realise America has become the worlds Florida(man).
I will continue to watch wheres981 swim through traffic as the NYC police fail to catch him for the 999999nth time lol.

Just abandon social media, I cannot think of a single positive thing that could possibly come close to outweighing the incredible harm it can cause us, collectively and individually
They can’t. We’ve already become a society that rewards narcissism.
Yet you’re still here…
Likely not for long. I’m sure I’ll be banned from this instance within 90 days lol
My point remains. You’re advising people to leave social media voluntarily while not doing so yourself.
I mean, that doesn’t make the point any less of a good one.
I tell my kids not to use drugs or drink all the time. Guess what I do?
