A society where SibylGPT can calculate the happiest life path for you and criminals are caught before they can commit crimes is bad because... it just is, ok???
Yeah no, this is the closest thing to a utopia we can get.

slave mentality bro...
How can someone miss the point this much?
Bot thread
and criminals are caught before they can commit crimes
Remind me again why this is bad
because AI is... le bad
and criminals are caught before they can commit crimes
The charges, officer?
Also you're missing the point. Remember in the very first episode where the guy abducts the girl and commits all these crimes simply because Sibyl said he was likely to commit crimes? That's why. He saw his hue check and basically said "welp I'm fucked either way. Might as well just go out and rape this chick and commit crimes because Sibyl already deemed it so." Sibyl caused his crime coefficient to go up. If that wasn't the case, he would just be a sad, lonely loser who goes to work and jacks off to anime porn the rest of his life.
I wasn't AI, watch the actual show.
Are we talking minority report where they kick your door down and arrest you for future murder, or are we talking "We know this guy is gonna come here armed to the teeth, bust him the instant he lays a hand on the door"?
bait designed to be extremely easy to spot
you will eat the bugs
This just means it was right
A few cases like this are a reasonable exchange for peace
create a problem
a problem is born
Who could've guessed?
no officer i swear i'm not a criminal i only did it because it said i would
This just means it was right
It was correct because they made it correct.
Because putting your populace on drugs and therapy is a shitty way to run a utopia
All of you lolicons would be classified as latent criminals
The system is demonstrably terrible at its job in a variety of ways that the show beats over your head.
I just hope that you are baiting here, anon
This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen today
mankind is ruled by literal psychos
you get arrested and killed for double thinking
no trial or investigation
cops are unstable PTSD patients
citizen's future are decided by the government
artisans and innovators are kicked out
And of course
centralized farming
Uro's entire world building is a literal commie hellscape that would collapse with a slight bit of reality check
Citizen anon, SibyGPT has calculated that your happiest path in life is to eat ze opioids, live in a two meter wide room, and work 18 hours per day as an office wagie
What's that? You don't like that? CRIMINAL CRIMINAL CRIMINAL KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM NOW NOOOOW
I will NOT worship the silicon demiurge. I WILL throw a rock wrapped in copper wire at Sibyl.
Even worse.
The guy said that he only got to that level because his company kept on overworking him. He was punished for something that the company were doing
The Sibyl system incentivizes the use of scapegoats
soulless
Why is being a mindless drone bad
the show TELLS you multiple times that most people are super happy with their lives
ends with the protag concluding that the system is ultimately better than whatever would replace it, it just has to do better next time or else
thread full of retards thinking urohack is le based and not a statist cuck like all nips
the book TELLS you multiple times that most people are super happy with their under big brother
ends with the protag concluding that that big brother loves him
How come chuds don't understand 1984???
the guy abducts the girl and commits all these crimes simply because Sibyl said he was likely to commit crimes
I swear there was a Judge Dredd story where that exact thing happened because some psi-div spook had been doing pre-crime interventions but in the process had been mentally influencing people to go and commit the crimes.
Anon, the rest of the world in psycho pass is a shithole. It's not pretty but Japan is utopia on that earth(unless you're among the undesirable)
Have you not realize that maybe, just maybe, maybe the reason why people are happy is because they are drugged out and we only see the perspective of someone who lives at the top?
between animu 1984/minority report and reality, at least sibyl keeps the streets clean. also what level of crime are we talking about? current US or current Nippon?
In fact I think the movie Minority Report deals with a similar issue, someone driven to crime only because of a future crime prediction
Its good if you just ignore all the bad parts
I'd rather live in a third world country than in a technocratic hellhole with literal future wrongthink crime. Imagine literally WANTING to be a Japanese corporate slave with the addition of getting magdumped by a cop if you ever think something bad about it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIM TO KILL SOMEONE FIRST YOU CAN'T ARREST HIM YET
This is what everyone arguing with OP sounds like.
I was going to bring up Minority Report as well. Basically because Tom Cruise saw his premonition, he went on to do all the actions that led up to the prediction in the ball thingy. It came true because he saw it. Otherwise, nothing would have happened. Kind of a time paradox thing.
Sorry chuds but the creators and by extension the show unironically believe the sybl system is good. It's not the 1984-esque cautionary tale you think it is.
entire show is about why sibyl is bad
"But how is Sibyl bad!?"
And that's correct.
You can arrest someone for being a threat but that's just it. Arrest. Not a fucking license to kill
at least sibyl keeps the streets clean.
Did you miss the part in Psycho Pass where the streets of Tokyo were overrrun with riots and burnings when Makashima distributed the helmets to everyone?
Shut up OP and go take your hue-correcting meds and your government issued therapy
Sorry anon, the computer predicted you were going to commit a crime. Evidence? That sounds like something a criminal would say, shoot him boys
right but day to day what are the streets like?
Well there wouldn't be a Section 9 or whatever the Psycho Pass unit belongs to if they were peaceful. There were multiple episodes where they were deployed to a crime that already happened. The first episode, the Spooky Boogie one, the statue artist girl, the cyborg hunter guy, Makashima, etc. etc.
Also: for everyday lives of people, pretty boring and scary because they walked around in fear that even thinking of buying that non-commissioned product could lead to being imprisoned for the rest of their life if Sibyl deemed it so.
Normal people don't abduct and rape random girls... that's just psychopathic. They mostly kill themselves when they feel that the situation is hopeless.
Also: for everyday [headcanon]
There's exactly one character that represents the average normal person living under the sybl system in the show. It's MC's friend that's supposed to have a happy life but psycho villain slits her throat trying to break MC.
American liberals thrive on crime
Uh huh. And you think everyone is just mindless bots who don't want freedom? You literally can't even pick your occupation. You think people like living in said society? No. They just pretend to so Sibyl doesn't lock them up for Thought Crimes for doubting the system. As evident throughout the show when multiple people go out and kill, which is why MC has to deploy and pink mist them with the Dominator. Remember: Subjugation is Freedom. Tyranny is Liberation. Big Brother knows best.
Problem is that's not actually what it does. That's what it says it does. What it actually does is label anyone under stress as a criminal.
Because that's not what it does. A "latent criminal" is simply someone who is stressed enough that he could, in theory, commit a crime.
