The TV show Person of Interest was on 2011-16 & was a/b mass surveillance & AI

[irisblue]

Nathan Ingram the blonde good looking guy was one of the 2 creators of The Machine which did do mass surveillance to find potential terrorists post 9/11 in the TV show.
It was programed as a black box, so that no human could adjust it's programing for any governments' benefit.

I wonder if this premise impacted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei

Nathan & Denton Weeks & Alicia Corwan discussing how the machine works

A/B Anthropic & the US Military demands.

snip-WASHINGTON (AP) — A public showdown between the Trump administration and Anthropic is hitting an impasse as military officials demand the artificial intelligence company bend its ethical policies by Friday or risk damaging its business.

Mods, while I mention current events it is mainly about the TV show.

1. It was a great show, in spite of James Caviezel.

I miss it.


Fan made video, but great!!

2. It was a good show. First time I remember seeing the great Taraj P Henson

She was the woman cop. Her, the dog, and the tech guy were better than Caveizel.IMO. He's got about a quarter octave range and I'm not just talking about his voice.

3. Fortunately, the Mr. Reese character didn't require much acting.

Just look either sad or angry and handle weapons.

It got the job done.

5. I think I need to get my DVDs out & do a rewatch.

Astrolat, in making fan videos & fan fiction did not put a foot wrong IMO

7. I used to call the show "Actor Of No Interest", because Jim Caviezel is the most boring actor on Earth.

I resolutely refused to watch the show, largely due to that and his self-righteous Bible-thumping.

He was in "The Thin Red Line", and I don't even remember his performance.

11. Um no, that honor goes to Common

Good rapper. Worst actor ever.

4. Loved that show!

One of my 5 favorite Science Fiction shows!

Addendum.
Nathan adds a ?sub program to help average people (not the potential terrorists) to see if a potential person is a victim, or perpetrator.

His partner Harold Finch (Michael Emnerson) genius computer guy I think doesn't like it but eventually goes all in. Caveziel (John) is the enforcer, or protector guy, and does a good acting job.

Three strong main women characters! Detective Carter (Tarazi Henson), Root/Miss Shaw genius computer woman (Amy Acker), and Samin government agent assassin (Sarah ?).
(Actually a semi 5th protagonist Control - C Manheim)

Finally to round up the main cast Detective Fusco (Kevin ?) Carter's partner.

I did a rewatch, but not in a few yrs bc they took it off free streaming. (boo).

I love watching new shows, but always enjoy my favorites in rewatching.

6. My local library has the series on DVDs, maybe your library does too?

[electric_blue68]

8. Maybe! But I don't have a DVD pjayer, or TY, curently

Maybe in the future. TY for the suggestion.
I definitely borrowed DVD's when I had a working player.

9. I don't have a TV, so I got a dvd player from goodwill to watch dvds

I honestly don't miss the TV messy mess.

[electric_blue68]

10. I went to look at portable DVD players. So maybe a future purchase.

👍
.I want a TV so I can if possible eventually cast my free streaming sites.

[electric_blue68]

12. I got to see it a 2nd time on free streaming, possibly a 3rd but that was quite a while ago...

Anyway still pay only...but it dawned on me tonight to look up clips on YT.
And, yay, I've found a whole bunch!

Glad you brought it up as a DU lounge OP. It probably wouldn't have occurred to me to check YT. 👍🙂
