In the 2002 Tom Cruise film, “Minority Report” a government unit called Precrime arrests people before they have committed any offense based on information obtained from a trio of mysterious siblings with some sort of psychic powers. We aren’t quite there yet, but the U.S. government appears headed toward a similar effort using information obtained from artificial intelligence (AI).
The idea is that AI has the capacity to analyze data and predict events, specifically in this case regarding insurrection. In this case, though, we are not talking about coups or revolutions abroad. We are talking about insurrection right here at home, specifically a repeat of the attempted “revolution” of January 6, 2021.
Yes, Precrime is coming to arrest you. A recent Washington Post article on the topic had this headline.
“The battle to prevent another Jan. 6 features a new weapon: The algorithm”
WASHINGTON POST The proponents of this approach could not be more excited. “We now have the data — and opportunity — to pursue a very different path than we did before,” said Clayton Besaw, of CoupCast, a machine-learning-driven program based at the University of Central Florida. He was celebrating the fact that we can now – in his opinion – prevent any reoccurrence of January 6th by acting in advance to stop “political violence.”
The idea behind this concept of predicting acts in advance is to empower AI to monitor a broad range of factors, economic data, “social trust” levels, weather, etc., and produce predictions of behavior in advance of the occurrence of any events. We won’t need to wait for a mob to form or even for a group to organize. We will arrest you before you even know you want to form a group.

“The Patriot Act needs to be repealed, TheDHS needs to be abolished, and also the NSA.”
I agree with you eliminating the first two, but we do need the NSA — but ONLY if it does its job as initially intended.
And then put forth a bill to build a statueof Joe McCarthy.
And the FIB and CIA while we’re at it.
And toss the Perfumed Princes out of the Pentagon while we’re at it.
It should have remained in operation.
“We will arrest you before you even know you want to form a group.”
Sure - and somebody’s firearms will escape from the safe in the middle of the night and shoot them before they even know they want to arrest the owner.
How stupid can these people get?
Uuhhh... pretty sure it will be cancelled for being racist......
This is what happens when idiots with college diplomas are Anti-Constitution and anti-Bill of Rights.
There’s a whole lot of them in Congress.
“We won’t need to wait for a mob to form or even for a group to organize. We will arrest you before you even know you want to form a group.”
Sorry. You’re already too late. We’re way past wanting to form a group.
But go ahead and proceed with your self-fulfilling prophecy. I have some predictions of my own.
Probs don’t need AI to determine that...
More aptly titled: Artificial Stupidity...
Just think how all those past despots are spinning in hell with jealousy over the amount of controlling power that current despots have available...
Little wonder that Reagan was able to correctly predict 1000 years of the darkest tyranny if we didn’t take the communist threat seriously...
Even today, most Americans (even many here on FreeRepublic) refuse to acknowledge the threat, as evidenced by the continued reference to a democrat, progressive, or the “non-existent” democrat party...
Like referring to brain cancer as a migraine headache so in order to avoid the truth of the situation...
.
I don’t think they’d apply it to ANTIFA or BLM, do you? Y’know, the ones who actually kill and commit billions of dollars of damage to private property?
I also like how a cited source mentions how five people died; two were killed by MPD and the rest died of natural causes. What a dirty twist of reporting on the source’s part.
Is that doE Energy or Edeumakashun ?
Yes.
So DOE2
I have converted from Big Tech fanboy to Neanderthal Luddite in the past few years.
I expect many Freepers to join me there.
Aye! ;)
