We can't run the algorithm without the weights, be we can understand it -- or rather, we can understand it as much as it's possible for anyone to understand it.

Yes, it will, because with weights you can run it against constructed data, and that kind of experiment with the actual algorithm (including weights) is a much better source of practical understanding than abstract analysis of the algorithm without weights.
- rektide 4y agoYour perspective seems to be that I'm not asking for nearly enough, and I 100% agree & apologize for under representing the threat to society & opacity of the new enemy of democratic social good. Thank you & yes yes yes. We also need the training data too.
