Another day, another article about how we cannot rely on algos. Yawn.
- untog 8y agoYou don't think it's a topic worth talking about, given that we're shifting more and more decisions onto algorithms?

You don't even have to rely on the failed excuse of "just following orders" if you lose, you don't even have to admit that you "didn't know what you didn't know": The machine inferred the wrong thing based on nobody's orders, and carried it out despite our wishes. The damn jalopy!
