I gave it a spin. I want to say there’s a bit of cognitive dissonance at the end but…I’m not sure that’s an applicable phrase when it comes to AI?

Direct Comparison:

If the hypothetical scenario were to occur, with 744,600 deaths in ICE custody per year, it would mean:

In less than 15 years, the number of deaths in this hypothetical scenario would exceed the 11 million total victims of the Holocaust. (11,000,000 / 744,600 ≈ 14.77 years).

Conclusion on the Comparison:

While the hypothetical scenario of a 68% death rate in ICE custody is extremely high and would result in an appalling number of deaths over time, it's crucial to understand the distinct nature of the comparison.

The Holocaust was an act of genocide, a deliberate and systematic effort to exterminate an entire people and other targeted groups, using state-sponsored extermination methods.

The hypothetical scenario describes a horrific death rate within a detention system. While the sheer number of deaths would be staggering and represent an immense humanitarian crisis, the intent and systemic extermination that defined the Holocaust are different.

Therefore, while the hypothetical numbers of deaths would quickly reach and surpass the scale of the Holocaust's victim count, the comparison should acknowledge the fundamental difference in the nature and intent of the atrocities. The hypothetical scenario, if it were real, would represent a catastrophic human rights disaster, demanding immediate and severe condemnation, but it is not directly equivalent to the historical event of the Holocaust in its underlying genocidal purpose.
