Sounds like somebody at Europol just had a blast playing Detroit Become Human.

I’d like to watch the full length video. The link doesn’t work obviously. Can you point me in the right direction?

Surely they're gonna build a robot police force with no oil, no gallium, and no robot factories.

I predict a 2035 with no europe.

(Although I do like the idea of being a criminal commanding hundreds of robots. The republican space cops with their slave armies and idealism magic would hate me. CIS ftw.)

2035? I'd have argued most of these things are already here or at least trivially close...

no privacy - Corporate overlords have been declaring us "post-privacy" for a looooong-ass time, and Governments and their enforcers have been chomping at the bit for at least as long, because they want in on the game

robot cops - Palantir Gotham plus semi-autonomous drones; It's a question of degree, not of when.

robots displacing workers - Has literally been happening for more than half a century; The current LLM bullshit is going to give it another push, obviously.

robot rights - Well, are LLM companies just violating copyright or are LLMs simply ordinary artists that learn by looking at other folks art, just like their human forebears? (It doesn't matter what you think, it matters what we as society ultimately make of that and I wouldn't be optimistic)

criminals with hundreds of drones - They've been running humongous botnets for decades; If they see a business case for doing something drone-wise in meatspace they'll absofuckinglutely do so today rather than tomorrow, and maybe they already are and we're just not aware because it's still flying under the radar.

If you aren't expecting some variation of full-on Cyberpunk right now I honestly don't know what you're waiting for...

Since they're law enforcement I interpreted the report as them preparing for the worst possible outcomes given upcoming tech, and then escalating in response to that.

I don't know... I feel the world has become so strange after covid.

[-] Solumbran@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

Covid does affect the brain.

But seriously, people have always been that stupid, it's just that capitalism and fascism are a race towards the bottom, that speeds up over time.

I guess they don't realize we're in the early stages of WW3.

It's time for another carrington event!
