AI is almost certainly an easy scapegoat here. Vastly more likely one of Facebook's tens of thousands of human moderators is sympathetic to the Vietnamese government (or just their -type- of government) and wanted to hide a viral video of a devout Marxist eating a golden steak.
- LNSY 5y agoWhen I use AI I consider the entire algorithm as part of it. There is a signal -- a human censor says this cannot be shown-- and then generative expansion of that signal across nodes on a network. It doesn't matter on what machine the algorithm runs on -- wetware or cloud -- it gets incorporated into a larger, generated intelligence. Same math.
