    Yes, as is already happening with police crime prediction AI. In goes data that says there is more violence in black areas, so they have a reason to police those areas more, tension rises and more violence happens. In the end it’s an advanced excuse to harass the people there.

      Lmfao yeah, right bud. Totally how that works. More police = more crime, because… ‘tensions’.

      This sanctimonius bullshit excuse making is why a 100% objective AI model would destroy leftism: it’s not rooted in reality.

        I don’t think it’s more crime because more tension. It’s instead a self fulfilling prophecy. Who do you think detects and records crime if not the police? Therefore more police in a area increases the number of crime data points in that area.

        The American police were invented to capture black folks and to guard the elite’s interests, not to safeguard the things that make civilization worth having.
