"What people say" is itself quite nuanced. Words that two black might say to one another may be casual but appropriate and yet extremely offensive if said by a white person, or, presumably, an AI, in a different context.
What the AI should say is hard given that there is no one right answer to the question of what any individual should say. Different contexts change the equation completely. Seems like a nightmare to define the behavior or test it.
The right solution may involve training a model on everything we have access to and finetuning it based on the context you want to use the model in and the historical examples we will build up of mistakes previous models have made.
- rayiner 6y agoI agree. It’s a very hard problem that we need to thing about in context. Gebru’s research is important for raising the issue. But it is a hard problem, and highly context dependent. It doesn’t seem to me like a proper subject for the sort of ultimatum that Gebru gave Google.

- ALittleLight 6y agoHey, thanks for telling me. Should be up now. I was actually going to turn the website off (I believe it hasn't been working for a couple weeks now) as I didn't think anybody was using it. Glad to see someone is though - it's back on!
- vimy 6y agoReally? That's a shame. I use it whenever I want to experience the indie web. I shared it with a friend and he's also a fan. I have even submitted a couple of websites. If you do turn it off, would you mind sharing your list of websites?
- ALittleLight 6y agoGlad to hear that. I'm learning django right now and for my first project (after the tutorial project) I will recreate stumblingon. When I do I'll add a logging/metrics system of some kind. That way, I won't make premature decisions about turning it off in future. I'll also commit to replacing the website with a list of the index for a month or so before (if) I turn it off for good. Now that I'm thinking about remaking it, is there anything you think is missing from the website?
