Obviously the Tories in government will just enact state level violence on ethinc minorities, the dsaibled, and lgbt people, and be brazen about it, at least you know where you stand (flat on your face with a cops boot on your back). A Labour government doing basically the same stuff but with a concerned face is not in any way preferable to me, especially one with a large majority and being run by some Oxbridge PPE psychopaths all baying for the blood of Arab children.

what keeps happening to my clothes

it's hard to know exactly how bad this is given that "AI" now seems to mean "anything a computer does more complicated than adding three numbers or so" but as I don't trust the home office/dwp/etc with responsible use of even the simplest algorithm it's still pretty bad. e.g. this

quote:

The DWP, meanwhile, has an “integrated risk and intelligence service”, which uses an algorithm to help detect fraud and error among benefits claimants. The Labour MP Kate Osamor believes the use of this algorithm may have contributed to dozens of Bulgarians suddenly having their benefits suspended in recent years after they were falsely flagged as making potentially fraudulent claims.

The DWP insists the algorithm does not take nationality into account.

yes there may well not be a specific column in your database for nationality but that doesn't mean a sufficiently complex machine learning algorithm won't determine a bunch of things that correlate to it with whatever other random bollocks you're throwing in there. oh and hey look all these people also correlate to people who tend to get benefits refused by the objective face to face employees, that must be because they're evil scroungers. this is basic loving stuff for anyone who even pretends to care about ethical use of data

Compared to Tories. I should have added that for clarity. I don't think the Tories were purposefully trying to kill off people. Sure they were aware of the excess deaths, but they were just a mere side effect from syphoning billions of pounds of public money into offshore trust fund accounts. Labour on the other hand, they designed the Work Capability Assessments that were designed to throw people off of benefits who had no other means of surviving.

Yeah it's good to notice when the algorithm or institution could be improved but it doesn't tell you whether it's better or not than what came before.

Like with AI camera can't tell the difference between two Black men in some circumstances. How good are they compared to some of the police?

But you can hold a racist police officer accountable, unlike a computer program.

There's pros and cons, you can mandate monitoring and logging and standard reviews of AI cameras a lot more easily than you can monitor every officer for second phones with their racist whatsapp chats and banned Britain First splinter group picnic photos.

But yeah if the institution doesn't want to change it's hard to do either.

Goalposts go further to make it harder, and the person kicking at a penalty is the shooter. Kicker is only a position in handball games.

All this time I thought "moving the goal posts" meant moving them closer together or further apart. But I guess that works too.

Generally the person kicking the ball into the goal is the striker, although centre-forwards and their left/right counterparts are all allowed to give it a welly.

Witch trials are a good analogy for things like accusations of unconscious bias, because a lot of it just becomes proxy for unpopularity or power hierarchy or willingness for a group to throw some token individual under the bus to get any accusations to go away.

Which is why you get lots of police reviews that just turn into "yeahh we all know Steve the Notracist, he's definitely not a racist" blue shield efforts and it's only after someone retires or really gently caress ups that further information comes to light.

Whereas you can measure bias of equipment much more statistically and it's more a matter of institutions not wanting to or caring about why they should.

(also remembering keiths week of unconscious bias training, which was enough for him to get stopped ever being called racist by the sort of people that charge hundreds of thousands for upper management unconscious bias training courses while never actually changing his actions, lmao)

The date says today the 23rd of October. It was posted over in the Musk thread just now.

Ian Chung, the man Musk parrots is a South American guy who posts lots of information about America and American politics.

Not on "American Politics" as it pertains to the two continents. But the politics of the USA.
A country he does not live in, nor has he ever visited.

This man (allegedly) just lives in his home and has such (alleged) poor hygiene that it is (allegedly) often overrun by Ants. Allegedly.

And Elon Musk keeps signal boosting and agreeing with this guy all the time.
