I think you would find a LOT of conspiracies in the history of communism.

"say you're training a model to detect criminality based on facial structure. This has come up as a real world example, papers have been published on this topic. What does a "good" dataset look like?" I don't t

Thanks for the further background information. I have to say it doesn't really make it better for me. The "angry people" are of course correct that you can also create bias in other ways than data sets. But are they implying

Well LeCunn quit Twitter, so it is "one down". That is what I meant by successful. And Gebru's "arguments" weren't even arguments, just "whatever you say is wrong because you are white and don't recog

Horrible story :-( And once again the grievance strategy was successful.

Doesn't make sense as a dark pattern, people will just reverse the sale and cause increased workload for Tesla. Why make such a bad faith assumption?

Surely they were able to sort it out with Tesla (some other comment here mentions Tesla refunded it without a fuss), so why is it even news?

I'm actually also not a fan of Google anymore, but I can at least relate to the "don't be evil" issue. It simply wasn't well enough defined, as different people consider different things "evil".

(I'm the OP) It's not about Trump it is about the stated intent to amplify certain news outlets (they link to the New York Times as a "factual voice that needs to be amplified") and tone done or censor ("deplatform&

Since they positioned themselves against free speech and advocate certain ideologies, they have lost me forever. Good riddance. I never worried about the performance of Firefox. It was good enough, and I miss some features like tags for boo

Your only reply is an ad hominem and misrepresentation of what I said. It is not about being scared of black people. It wasn't the subject, but if anything, it seems black people are scared of white people. Isn't that what BLM is

If abductions are not an issue, couldn't lost kids simply ask strangers for directions? Unless you talk about the wilderness. Actually when I let my kids go outside alone, I usually give them a phone. I live in a big city. Reception co

When you are about to get mugged or murdered, it doesn't matter what caused it. You just don't want to be murdered. I can feel pity with people whose life circumstances turned them into criminals, but I have no immediate way to he

But what scenario do you want to prevent? I think in case of abduction, the backpack would likely be left behind.
