NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) —
Audio technology like Google Home and Amazon's Alexa are becoming a dominant source for information.

But now, it appears one of the most common names is unknown to Google Home.

And some people are sounding the alarm about what the technology tells you when you ask about Jesus.

Brentwood resident David Sams owns a Google Home and an Amazon audio speaker. He says both give two different answers when asking "Who is Jesus Christ?"

"I even asked Google who is David Sams? Google knew who I was, but Google did not know who Jesus was, Google did not know who Jesus Christ was, and Google did not know who God was," Sams said.

Smart speakers are a technology owned by about 40 million Americans -- that's about one in six people in the nation.

And this religious conversation at home is making waves on social media.

Comments, videos and test results posted asking "Who is Jesus?"

The general response from Google Home is "I'm not sure how to help you with that."

There's still no response from the Google company on why.

"It's kinda scary, it's almost like Google has taken Jesus and God out of smart audio," Sams said. "First it started with schools."

Google Home refers to Jesus Christ when asking about the Last Supper and even Saint Peter.

And there's plenty of information on the prophet Muhammed, Buddha -- even Satan.

Nashville resident Martin Collins says she thinks this feeds into a bigger problem.

They took prayer out of schools, they think just taking Jesus out of everything is politically correct these days and I think that's the stem of a lot of our problems," Collins said.

Collins has no doubt Google has purposefully programmed Jesus out of its audio speakers.

"To keep from stepping on toes, political correctness," Collin said. "That seems to be more important these days than what's right and what's wrong."

Sams is calling for answers from Google as it's become a main source of information readily available that so many are coming to depend on.

"I don't know if there's some kind of wizard making these decisions or if it's some kind of oversight," Sams said. "But whatever it is, they need to address it immediately."

Greetings, Silicon Valley shitlords! I have developed a high tech rock of eternal life!

How does it work? Well you see, when you are about to die, just rub this rough, volcanic rock all over your body. Small amounts of DNA contained in your cells will rub off and be trapped in this rock. We'll then put the rock in a very secure ~~rock pit~~ deep storage vault. At some unspecified point in the future, SCIENCE will figure out how to use the data encoded in your genetics to ressurect you to full life, one that will certainly be full of leisure and pleasure, because of all the SCIENCE they will have then.

Sure, it might be a long time before the science of that will happen. But you can't prove this won't ever *not* work. And when it eventually does? Jackpot for you! At only $100,000 per immortality rock, can you really afford not to? After all, if you don't buy the rock, your money is useless when you die anyway!

Zach Vorhies, 37, a senior software engineer at YouTube, said in an interview that he had been sitting at his desk when the fire alarm went off. He grabbed his electric skateboard and headed for a back exit, he said. As he rode down a gravel hill, he heard someone shouting and saw a man lying motionless in one of the office�s outdoor dining areas.

�This is what they are doing to weekend activists and many other people who try to promote healthy, humane and smart living � people like me are not good for big business like for animal business, medicine business and for many other businesses. That�s why they are discriminating and censoring us,� she said in the video on Facebook.

I just hop on my electric skateboard and flee a workplace shooting by a demonetized vegan terrorist vlogger, out here in the stupidest timeline.

I'd like like "lol Goldman welcome to jumping the shark" but tbh, this is probably a cynical fleece the Muppets play. If anyone could steal from Bitcoin idiots bigly without exploding themselves from touching the poop it's probably them.

it's a matter of data management and statistics really

shouldve included equal ns across ethic groups so you dont bias the algorthm

unfortunately this means burning 90+% of your input data i guess what im saying is

dismantle the pic and liquidate 90+% of law enforcement (and nationalize amazon)

Also the source data of who society considers a criminal is hugely biased towards minorities. This is the problem with ML: If you're just naive or incompetent when building the models, you'll end up laundering all kinds of prejudices, and then it comes out the other end as some infallible AI judgement of "black people are criminals" and then racists will go "see, it was the computer, it's all science there isn't even a line of code that says black people are bad, it just learned that on it's own!"
