Behind the Blog: How to Talk About AI Doom

404 Media's behind-the-blog post discusses AI doomer discourse, 9/11 archival projects, and a podcast with The Intercept on AI in surveillance and war.

404 Media staff reflect on how their top weekly stories came together, covering the 9/11 anniversary through archival projects like the 2001 Live X account and Mattel's GenerationGirl.com bulletin board, plus AI doom discourse. A live podcast with The Intercept examined the use of AI in surveillance and war, with a recording to be published later. The piece is editorial commentary rather than a security or AI news report.

A Secretive DHS ‘Predictive Policing’ Unit is Analyzing Americans’ Financial Habits and Pulling Them Over

404 Media reveals DHS Border Patrol's secretive Predictive Intelligence Targeting Teams (PITT) analyzing Americans' financial activity and feeding intelligence to local police for traffic stops.

404 Media identified Predictive Intelligence Targeting Teams (PITT) in the Spokane Sector (Washington) and Laredo Sector (Texas), which review law enforcement-sensitive databases including Americans' financial activity and pass intelligence to local police. In one case, a PITT analyst flagged financial patterns associated with narcotics activity, leading Montana Highway Patrol to stop a driver for an obstructed license plate and charge him with DUI and possession with intent to distribute. CBP declined to say what financial data is monitored or whether warrants are obtained; the program extends AP's earlier reporting on ALPR-based predictive policing.
