Carrie Poppy: “[...] The police force will develop new technology to convince people they’re for them but actually militarize further. They’ll claim to protect us against terrorism, and they’re gonna use AI to predict crime patterns but focus on preventing crime rather than punishing criminals.”

Ross Blocher: Hey, precogs, just like in Minority Report. Yeah, that makes us all nervous.

Carrie Poppy: Could go well, could go badly.

Ross Blocher: Yeah, she actually got very excited by that. She’s like, “Yay!” Preventing crime rather than—

Carrie Poppy: Right, than punishing. Sounds good.

I will resolve according to their evaluation in 2025 ("No" for a zero on their scale, "N/A" for one, and "Yes" for two)

With the podcast ending, I can no longer simply defer to the host's judgements for the resolution. Please vote in this poll if you have thoughts on how I should resolve these markets:
