Trump Considering... Precrime?
To stop mass shootings, Trump reportedly considering a DARPA-style program to analyze "neurobehavioral signs" of mental instability, drawing on data collected from Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo, Google Home, and other devices. Isn't the future grand? https://t.co/DGjnfE58gl

This is my fear. We're unlikely to get a formal "social credit" score like they have in China, but I think we'll end up with an informal version.
My "social credit" score would be zero. I am not on any social media. Other than online purchases, I pay cash for everything. I value my privacy.
They absolutely *will* marginalize me for this. It's already to the point where if you don't want to divulge personal information, you have to pay more for your goods and services. This will continue. They won't formally exclude you from society if you don't participate in the social credit system - they'll just price you out of it.

It doesn't bother me because before the internet people were having all sorts of random thoughts and ideas, totally off the wall and wacky. But you never knew about those because communications was what it was. Now, with the ability to send every random thought an individual has to everyone all day, people need to re-learn that musing is just that.

Yes, this here. Trump thinks out loud. He's one of those people whose first utterance on a subject is not definitive and is probably just a musing. If they really care about a subject people who think out loud will say a bunch of things about it, sometimes contradictory things, but that's just because they're talking out the pros and cons. With people like that you learn to wait until they state that they have made a definitive statement on a subject before you take their words literally.

Now hopefully, by Trump expressing a favorable view of MindReading and ThoughtCrime ... the left will be forced to come out against it.

Health Advanced Research Projects Agency or HARPA, which would sit inside the Health and Human Services Department....
HARPA would be modeled on DARPA.... The concept was advanced by the Suzanne Wright Foundation, and was first discussed by officials on the Domestic Policy Council and senior White House staffers in June 2017.
"HARPA"
Trump has a close personal relationship with Bob Wright, who founded the Suzanne Wright Foundation after his wife passed away from pancreatic cancer. Wright is the former chair of NBC and was in that job while Trump headlined "The Apprentice."
Wright sees Ivanka Trump as the most effective champion of the proposal and has previously briefed her on HARPA himself, Wright told us.

Ideas like this are bad under normal circumstances, as they obviate due process to a greater or lesser degree, depending on implementation.
In a situation such as our current one the problem is further compounded.
When only a select group of people have legal rights, and the rest are at the mercy of an entirely corrupted and politically weaponized judiciary, it's a recipe for total oppression.

The "cashless society" worries me because so many parties want it. The State wants it to track everything you do and ensure compliance and simplify punishment.
The finance industry and central bankers (and others, but mostly them) want it because it will enable near-perfect theft should they need it. "Negative interest rates" because money just exits the banking system. If people think a "bail in" is going to happen, they run the bank. Eliminating that pesky cash eliminates that risk and they can steal what they want.
Big Tech wants it because they want all of your data about everything, and cash is largely private. They hate privacy.
If there's something that Big State, Big Finance and Big Tech *all* want, it is a serious cause for concern.

Also, snark aside, I am glad to see this. We now have two examples on differing sides of the divide. Nike has held up reasonably well, Gillette seems to not have.
The key difference is probably size and type of market. Ladies buy razors, of course, but Gillette is a company that largely serves men. They spat in the face of what is basically their only market. Nike only shat on part of their market and probably scored points in other parts.
Notable, though, is that Nike didn't exactly surge - it just didn't lose its ass.

Many previous mass shooters could have been stopped from buying the guns they later used to kill people if they had actually been prosecuted for crimes in their past, instead of let go without even an admission of a felony that would block them from buying more weapons.
And high-crime zones would probably be a lot less violent if local DAs actually charged criminals with things like felon in possession, illegal carry etc. Instead, they tend to drop those gun charges as bargaining chips, and all too often the criminal ends up walking on all the remaining charges anyway.
New gun laws don't mean diddly-squat unless DAs actually USE them.

That's not how data analysis works. They use all your transactions to build a profile of your behavior, which can then be manipulated (see Amazon recommendations).
They pool your transactions with everyone else's transactions for trending, relationship mapping, identifying groups and their associated behaviors. . . which can then be manipulated.
Or in the case of government, nudge, nudge, nudge you into making the "right" choices (per Cass Sunstein).

Yes, this is the key problem. Think about it from a law enforcement standpoint - it permits the proper way of things to be inverted.
How it is *supposed* to work is that cops investigate crimes to find people. The *crime* must happen first, and be noticed, and be investigated while maintaining the rights of the investigated, evidence collected, a case built, and then finally prosecution. This is hard and it is supposed to be.
How it *can* work to an increasing degree is that the cops can investigate people to find crimes (and everyone has them, it is the nature of our extremely broken and contradictory legal code) and then take out their opponents.
Free systems investigate crimes. Corrupt systems investigate people. This kind of thing enables them to reduce the cost of investigating a person so far that they can do it all the time.
It has always happened, of course, but the costs are so great that they rarely do so. When it becomes as close to free as makes no difference, it will become the norm. Be grumpy at the DMV and they'll just go hunting for your various crimes and destroy you.

And it would be nice if there were even one public figure, say, a GOP incumbent at any level, aggressively educating on "mass shootings" [they make up a tiny % of firearms used in murder, even when the current definition of "mass shooting" is used, rifles incl. ARs are a very small part of the overall firearm-involved murder rate, etc].
But no. Everyone must join the ignorant emotional panic in response to things that are largely out of our control [short of a panopticon police state], while continuing to say not*one*word about a growing rampage of 1OO% preventable violent crime [by known illegals shielded by "sanctuary" crap].
Recalibrating what I should care about. Of course all violence is bad and undesirable, all victims equally deserving of sympathy/support - but .... with the enormous problem of constant mayhem/murder in select urban areas, and the large 1OO% preventable problem of illegal alien/"sanctuary" crime meriting complete silence/"meh" from the political class and empty-headed "liberals", getting difficult to pretend to care about "mass shootings".

We're not even to the point of that being relevant. Something like 90+ percent of shooters are either reported prior to the attack, or some government pencil pusher fucked up and didn't process the records that should have made them a prohibited person from prior convictions or mental issues.

Almost invariably, we have a non-gangster mass shooting and it is
later revealed that the shooter was posting stuff like, "I'm gonna
[violent act] somebody" on social media and people have reported
threatening behavior that was ignored by the authorities.
-----
Even this would have local authorities running around like mad trying to put out a thousand little fires between false reports, drunks just mouthing off, violent idiots and the occasional mass shooter. You ever scan the timeline of an average leftist on Twitter? They're all mentally ill and violent.
We're still not addressing the root cause, which in my opinion is a combination of things such as losing our high trust society, breakdown of family, mental illness "experts" who despite all their degrees and pills have only watched mental illness become ever more prevalent over the decades, increasingly radical politics and young people who are watching their future being stolen right from their very eyes - financially via debt and romantically via radical feminism.
Those issues are tough to address though, so our government and most people will default to a prescription that is MUCH easier to swallow: a total Orwellian 24/7 surveillance police state.

I think you're exactly right.
Leftists often plump for technological approaches to people problems so as to maintain their leftist virtue of being "non-judgmental."
But, of course, that's hypocritical. They should be rendering judgment, and secretly do, but don't want to be seen to do so. Enter technology to pinch hit for them.

My husband. He narrowly escaped. He then worked on the "jagman," ie the report on the event. According to the sequence, he made it down the back alley with 2 other people, one of which was heavily pregnant, and they climbed over a brick wall using building supplies (he hoisted her over first), seconds before the shooter opened the outside door and looked down the narrow alley. He called me as he ran down the stairs to the alley and told me he loved me and the kids and was running from a shooter. I shook so hard the rest of the day, I couldn't hold a glass of water. I know every excruciating detail of that event.

And then they *hate* it when the technology doesn't confirm their biases.
Amazon built an internal AI performance review system. It fed into all systems, looked at productivity, accomplishments, etc. They ran the system in parallel to the real system of humans making performance decisions for a while to see how it diverged. They thought an AI system would be more fair compared to human reviewers because those systems are less biased and more logical.
When they ran the exercise, they found that they got a seriously un-woke outcome: fairly few women were recommended for promotions and large raises as compared to human reviewers.
Back to the drawing board - there are clearly biases in the system. They tweaked and adjusted anything they could see that would be considered biased in the system. When round two came out, they got an even *greater* divergence than they did before. When I read the article, it stated that Amazon was trying to figure out how to remove "anti-woman bias" from the system.
So they love AI because it is "neutral" - but they hate it when it doesn't have the desired outcome. So they'll handicap it to *promote* biases that they think are good, and only then will they defer to it.

I hate all the big brother stuff, hate it. BUT it is somewhat reasonable to expect some sort of agreement between people that nutballs should be looked at.

Here's the thing. The AIs are supposed to make decisions on data points. "The theoretical equality of all people" is not only not a data point--abstract "equality" is actually an abandonment of judgment of any difference being meaningful.
People become more and more distributed the more finely-measured data points are considered. To make a decision on any of those datapoints will not reinforce the "equality" of everyone in consideration.
Somebody picked what data points were significant and decision-makers--don't kid yourself about AI, people, it's just going to compute data points a lot faster than humans could ever do so.

San Francisco board rebrands 'convicted felon' as 'justice-involved person,' sanitizes other crime lingo
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, from now on a convicted felon or an offender released from custody will be known as a "formerly incarcerated person," or a "justice-involved" person or just a "returning resident."
A juvenile "delinquent" will now be called a "young person with justice system involvement," or a "young person impacted by the juvenile justice system."
And drug addicts or substance abusers, meanwhile, will become "a person with a history of substance use."
"We don't want people to be forever labeled for the worst things that they have done," Supervisor Matt Haney told the newspaper. "We want them ultimately to become contributing citizens, and referring to them as felons is like a scarlet letter that they can never get away from."

Prosecutors said those charged have been involved with crimes ranging from drug distribution to money laundering.
Investigators seized more than $6 million, 95 kilograms of methamphetamine, 63 kilograms of heroin, 10 kilograms of fentanyl, 92 kilograms of cocaine, 252 kilograms of marijuana, and 20 firearms, including semiautomatic assault rifles and handguns.

it demonstrates the desire of the director to be revolting. I understand the point you're making but even then it isn't reasonable. Any person (besides lepers, maybe) would *immediately* feel a rotten plate of food go "squish" in a wildly different-than-expected way. Or smell it as raising it to his mouth. The same scene could have made the point better by having him squish over the rotten food, curse, stumble around trying to wipe his hands on something, and trying again. But they went for maximum gross-out instead.

I agree, but I would also argue that Spielberg isn't really an actor's director. He's more of a setpiece kind of guy who understands story structure (so, you know, a much better de Palma). The fact that he also gets good performances from actors consistently says something to his process.
He's not guiding performances, he's quick firing from behind the camera. "That was boring! Do something else!"

A juvenile "delinquent" will now be called a "young person with justice system involvement," or a "young person impacted by the juvenile justice system."
And drug addicts or substance abusers, meanwhile, will become "a person with a history of substance use."

Dick had one of the best visions/oeurves for fiction writing in a future setting. His ideas tended to be big--but the stories were about the characters.
He was a little like Vonnegut, in my estimation, except that Dick could actually find a way to make the main character conflict organically illustrate the thematic conflict, and Vonnegut largely chose to make fun of SF fans.
