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.

Your phone will now enter enforcer-decomposer mode. Please do not resist decomposition.
Now i need to add this to my plex
Come now, sir… you’re better than Plex.
Join the Jellyfin side.
I have had a lifetime pass to Plex for over ten years. You still think Jellyfin is better? I’ve never looked at it.
Where are all the holo screens I was promised?
Sense offender!
Are we all going to have to remove our eyes now? Because I’ve got shit to do.
Never seen it. I thought it was a reference to the two people in pools that poop magic 8-ball readings from The Venture Bros.
Police departments have a long history of wasting shitloads of money on stuff that doesn’t work, like voice stress analysis.
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.
It also kidnapped triplets and uses they’re precognitive capabilities to solve pre-crimes.
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.
Absolutely unaccountable. Is that different where you are?
Checking in from a state in the south. Naw it is the same. Just fewer people snooping around asking questions. My area was big on Live PD and part of the downfall of the show.
It does seem different where I live (NOLA) but we have a whole different situation here w/r/t policing in terms of staffing and budgets and even demographics/culture. They’re also operating under a consent decree so apparently not that unaccountable.
What is baffling to me is that the people of NYC made a police captain their mayor.
I’ll say this once and slowly… FUCK. THE. POLICE.

How about you say it twice?
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.
Suckers.
Wait till they start murdering innoc-- no wait they already do that.
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.
This is literally the plot of Watch Dogs.
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.
“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.”It’s definitely going to turn out well.
Are we at psycho pass levels yet?
Mmm let me see . Nope. Still white
