    I bet the training set will look something like this:

    race commited_crime
    white false
    black true

    getting arrested because some redditor made 873 bot posts on r/shitfuck with 0 subs saying "[MY LEGAL NAME] LOVES COMMITTING ALL THE NASTY CRIMES!" and the AI scraped it

    I thought the whole 'future crime' thing was something libertarians used to argue against communism?

      No no, when communists do it it's state ideological oppression, when Ancaps do it it's the Watchdog state providing "essential stability guarantees" to the marketplace.

        When libertarians describe their ideal minimal state, they begin with "well, of course first we must have cops"

        So one of the like, libertarian one world government conspiracies that came out of the 1970's was that the government wanted to document everything so that way they could feed it into a giant database and then arrest you for 'future-crime' and 'thought-crime'. It was one of their big pushes against welfare programs and other government services that 'documented free citizens', and they would argue that is why the government wanted everyone on welfare, so they could track us like the communists did to their people.

        It's pretty quaint now, but those undercurrents are what powered dystopian sci-fi in the U.S. Most popular sci-fi in the U.S. is very wrapped up in libertarianism honestly.

      Have you read any of the articles explaining how he has stabilized inflation from it's catastrophic climb that mention as a throwaway sentence that the general cost of good s is up 270% or something but don't explain how this is different in any sense that matters?

    Prosecuting people for hypothetical crimes that my Silicon Valley Racism Machine says they're going to commit is truly the most libertarian policy approach.

    That comment started sarcastic, but it actually is

    yea

      Psycho Pass? I just have a vague memory of their AI god directing the main characters to murder civilians because they had gotten too emotional.

        As someone who rewatched it recently, I do not recall that at all.

          I don't think I've watched it since it was new but isn't the whole premise an AI system that flags people for getting too emotional.

            Sorta, there is an

            "ai system"

            (It is made of certain special humans who the system can't read and therefore subject to their bias) ::: that determines the percentage chance of someone committing a crime based on a number of factors including material conditions and emotional state. I believe it also sets a severity level for the crime but I am not sure

            The entire premise was that people got flagged for being likely to commit crime. Part of the dystopian nature was that people who got heavily traumatised were recognised as being more likely to commit crime. But it really wasn't "they got too emotional".

    Asking the chatbot if person of interest is gonna do a crime, and continuing to nag it until it says yes and gives me the official AI-prediction warrant to detain them indefinitely.

    Also related the newly necromanced SIDE (imagine a CIA but only for internal affairs) will not have to present any receipts about where they'll spend the money allocated to it.

    Literally worse than the fucking pentagon.
