    I should be shocked that eight cops looked at a picture of a black kid holding a bag of doritos in his hand and agreed that it was a gun. why am I not shocked?

        That’s unironically already been happening in Gaza for years now, and will now happen everywhere Palantir is used.

          Minority report had a specialist review the footage and present the case to three two witnesses who teleconferenced in and approved the arrest witnessed the investigation before sending in the troops.

          So this is not that dystopian cautionary tale. It’s worse.

          Edit: re-watched the intro. The witnesses watched, but the police arrested the perp on their own accord. One of the witnesses is a judge though. So I guess it’s a pretty well supervised process.

      They probably just trusted the AI. Like everyone else is doing for some reason.
