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?
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.

That’s unironically already been happening in Gaza for years now, and will now happen everywhere Palantir is used.
This is the premise of the video game Long Gone Days and the Netflix episode Black Mirror: Men Against Fire.

I hate every one of these replies.
Welcome to hyperreality, enjoy your stay!

I’m not convinced they looked at anything. The AI sounded the alert and they peeled rubber.

I was making a dumb joke. The ai reported a minority…
“Computer says” is enough confirmation for most people.
Computer says no…
Yeah, that’s the sketch that always comes to my mind when it comes to people in positions of authority and computers.
Its cops. They just saw a black kid and figured they could plant a dime bag or a toy train after the fact.
You see to the untrained ear Choo Choo sounds like shoot! shoot!
They probably just trusted the AI. Like everyone else is doing for some reason.
It was in his pocket, the pocket bulge was picked up as a probable gun.
Notoriously gun shaped bags, Doritos, the shitty system definitely doesn’t just flag anything.
I am shocked that (thankfully) they didn’t shoot him.
