Trash Talk, AI Arrests, and the Return of Minority Report

In this episode of Nina’s What’s Trending, the team tackles two stories that spark conversation about identity, ethics, and the future of technology.

Is Negative Attention Better Than None?
Would you rather have people talk behind your back or be completely ignored? A new poll reveals that one in seven people would prefer being trash-talked over being forgotten. The team debates the psychology behind attention, self-worth, and the human desire to be remembered.

UK Testing AI to Predict Future Crimes
A real-world version of Minority Report is in development in the UK, where authorities are piloting artificial intelligence tools that aim to predict violent crimes before they happen. The conversation explores the ethical implications, privacy concerns, and how close we are to preemptive policing becoming a reality.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending. Let's play a game
of would you rather?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Would you rather have people talk a bunch of crap
about you behind your back or never talk about you
at all?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Crap?

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Really? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Why at least people are talking about me. It's the
same thing like if you go on stage to perform
right doing like because I do stand up comedy and stuff,
you know, but like, you don't want people just sitting
there quiet. I'd rather have people boomy. Really, you can
just sit there and not do anything.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
I'll bother you, like make you nervous or like, no,
because at least they're feeling some way about me.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
That's the thing. You want to make somebody feel something.
If everybody feels nothing about you, who yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
That same thing as bad press is still good pressing
exactly sure.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
But also just if you can do something good enough
to make somebody feel something cool.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh, okay, you think about that, You're just wallpaper if
people don't talk about you. Right, If you walk into
a place and the wallpaper is just okay, you don't
walk out and go and that wallpaper was either great
or terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
But you walk into places a great wallpaper.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
You're like, can walk out and be like, I got
to know where they got that wallpaper, or you're like
that wallpaper was terrible, isn't Let's never.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Go back there, but you remember it always exactly. Oh
so people just want to be remembered. And you know
it's funny. One in seven people agree with you. One
in seven people would rather be trash talked behind their
backs than never mentioned at all.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I know the other six boring people.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Seven was pretty high because I outside of this room,
there are a lot of people that I encounter that
like to not be the topic of conversation, true, but
like to be in the background, that don't want people talking,
that are first private.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
In general, we'll talk about them either way.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, yeah, So one and seven, which one are you
think about it?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
This is actually really wild.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I know we talk about AI all the time, but
the evolution of it is really kind of scary and
fun to watch. Did you guys ever see the movie
Minority Report from two thousand and two. This is a
long time movie.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
He is a good movie. You don't watch a lot
of movies, and that's the movie you watched.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
There was a blockbuster, big It was a big movie
it was. It wasn't not some random movie. It's got
Tom Cruise in it.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I've seen I've seen quite a few movies in one
and twenty seven years on this planet.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Victoria. I asked him about a movie. He always like,
I don't know you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Because hey, easy, they're not dumb and they're not cartoons.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Some of them are Disney, but not all of them
are Disney, so some of them exactly cars.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay, anyway, what about the movie that's a Minority Reports.
So in the UK they're reportedly creating a new murder
prediction algorithm using AI. So what that is is that
the government is going to be able to arrest people
for future crimes. Maybe, but in Minority Report, that's what
they did. I don't remember seeing this light, but in
the movie they arrested people for future crimes based on

(02:51):
video of it because they believed that it was something
that they would do. So now in the UK they
have this way that they're just I don't screening people
like they could look at somebody or AI will be
able to like look at them and be like in
the future. And so now the question is do you
get to be arrested or not, but or if it's

(03:13):
in the future, what if whatever's happened, like they them
telling that them that, what if that makes them the murderer?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Welcome to the movie Minority Report.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I think that there's some people out there, and this
probably could because I watch a lot of television, but
I think that there could be some people out there
that have like this murder gene that actually like fight it,
that don't do that, right, murdered gene.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's a gene. I'm probably I don't know, I don't
do it. I don't know. I kind of just made
that up.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But if it was to be something like that, then
you know, maybe you fight it. So then that wouldn't
be fair because the AI would be like, you're going down,
but you didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know, there's no way they allow people to be.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Arrested if they have that they haven't done yet, they
haven't decided yet.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
They might follow them around, which is which is also awful.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
But I mean, listen, this is when you kind of
forget right that that's only really illegal in America.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
What is to follow somebody for no reason?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, no, no, to like to arrest people for no reason,
or to follow somebody for no reason. That's only really
not okay in America, which is pretty easy to forget.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
But you also shouldn't be arresting people for no reason
that they do it all the time, I know anyway, Okay,
so crazy right, it's come in reality again.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
The movie. That's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
