You are entirely right.
I am scared that our "AI" (really ML) future will be ML trained from bad data and it's pre-crime-fun for anyone that just acts a bit weird or tries to not stand out too much.
I hope there are enough people like you in the institutions where it matters to be all "hey, wait a fuckin SECOND here".

I guess apparently it's still a problem.

- Fnoord 7y agoI have autism (previously diagnosed with anxiety disorder), so I thought I'd fit this one, and indeed I do. I wear hoodies (pref. ski sweaters) practically throughout half the year. They help prevent rain and cold on my head, and allow me to reduce external senses. Ski sweaters allow me to protect my hands from cold and dirt. I also wear glasses which color with the sun (not like dark sunglasses) but work normal inside. When I go outside, I hardly notice the difference with regards to light. I'm not sure what the effect is on blue light filters etc. I wasn't aware of a racial bias regarding hoodies (I'm what Americans call Caucasian white, but European).
