Data scientist here; there simply are not enough murders to model this, so they will need to use proxies for “likely” murderers (like any sort of violent crime). That means the model will very strongly target people who are over-policed (minorities) and those more likely to actually get caught and charged for things, and thus be in the training data set (poor people). It will also fail spectacularly for this purpose because even a highly accurate model will produce almost 100% false positives -again, because actual murders are so vanishingly rare. The math just doesn’t work.
I give it two seconds to turn into racism machine
And those two seconds are just the boot sequence.
Guilty until proven innocent.
It’s how the police view you anyway.
Pretty easy to prove you didn’t commit a crime that hasn’t happened, no?
Yes just tell the pig that you did not do it and he will release you
Is this turning into minority report in real life?
Oh, I’ve seen this one. where’s scientology Tom in this episode?
Or the bald predictor gals laying in water?
The precogs were FMM. They were named after famous crime fiction authors, Agatha (Christie), Dash (Dashiell Hammett), and Arthur (Conan Doyle).
Didn’t know that, that’s cool!
We are living the plot from PsychoPass
I shit you not, my mom literally just was talking about that anime and joking about it with me last night. I think it’s because we were talking about police anime.
Like if I knew Lemmy didn’t have an algorithm, I’d think this shit was targeted.
What can go wrong?
Right? No way this could possibly backfire. Unless, of course, that’s the intended outcome.
It’s typical of the neolib Labour party.
They’ve recently reintroduced legislation for digital IDs, just as they did the previous time they were in govt (prior to 2010).
We also have police stepping up unregulated use of facial reignition camera on the streets
They are obsessed with authoritarianism.
Let me guess: Palantir
Healthcare CEOs at the top of the list.
if the model is working correctly it indeed must point us towards billionaires
Will this drive the first wrongfully accused person to suicide or will it just somehow, magically, target all brown and black people? Stay tuned to see how much taxpayer money gets sunk into this tool.
Welcome to our over-securitized late stage capitalist hellscape. All so companies can push out these bogus ‘tools’ and eat more of the state budget and profit like the crony capitalists they are. Not the first time. First as a tragedy, second as a farce.
Prediction: this gets used to surveil dissidents and minorities disproportionately.
apparently Uk govt has never played watch dogs legion, nor seen Equilibrium (C Bale movie), nor Minority Report, nor Richard III, nor read Brave New World, nor the billion other movies, novels, games, poems, songs, Banksy art, social videos, cave paintings, etc that specifically warned UK not to (re)become the villain (over and over again)
it’s like the 2nd most popular culture topic… after “love” or something
but noooo, just had to be edgelordsandladies.gov.uk
…
“What can we do to improve society, I know I’ll watch some dystopian SciFi for ideas” - the UK government probably
Psycho Pass.
Another one to the list. Great anime. It’s like if Blade Runner and Minority Report had a loving relationship and a beautiful child was the byproduct of this union.
Fuck around, find out, double down
