I'd be surprised (not very, but a little) if Twitter had released an algorithm which is as obviously racist as the headline examples make it seem i'm guessing it was trained with real human interactions, with no attempt to correct for bias because social media companies don't give a gently caress if their "show people what they want to see" algorithms absorb the racism of their userbase if it somehow increased views, shares, and interactions, they'd be fine with the algorithm editing "heil hitler" into every thumbnail racism isn't the only side effect of this relentless focus of appealing to the biases of their users, either https://mobile.twitter.com/JeffFromRegina/status/1307903677290561536

the longer version of the story is that the RAF kept up-armoring the places that came back with bullet holes and survivablity got no better and people got very confused until they realized they should be up-armoring the other locations instead

just incompetent, not brutally incompetent i remember a lil tiff between a grad student and a prof, who was about 75 years old. stats dept. prof was telling kids in class that you should just expect computing resources including programmers to do the programming work "in any decent sized company" and the grad student was basically being like "ok boomer" bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Sep 23, 2020 |

"Big Data" is a term of flattery used to sell expensive solutions to organizations with middling amounts of actual data.

Yeah, I mean, the customer gets to feel important, the consultant gets to charge a premium for an easy job, and the problem actually gets solved nice and fast. There are worse things in this industry.
