Google fired a co-inventor of it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru

Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google’s Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive

It’s a real fucking laugh. It seems Google’s go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it’s employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. “Let’s fix your thinking.”

Now you’re going to charge them for lemonade too?!? Does your greed know no bounds?

The guy literally explained he was using sales idioms and you are taking it like someone is actually trying to lock prospective clients in. If he told you they decided to get off the pot instead of walk out the door would you assume he’s a voyeur watching them poop?

Listen brother, I eat meat but if you go into a vegan post and get into an argument about veganism, you’re not being trolled, you’re the troll.

My go to method for stealing people’s stuff is actually a neutron bomb. It keeps the property intact and all you gotta do is wait for a few months for the big gamma emitting neutron activated materials to cool off.

Yeah but concerned ape added about half a game’s content with that new island. Nobody would’ve blinked if they charged for it.

I think beyond that it’s purely the failure of the interviewer and not the tool. I think getting rid of the tool will just leave you with shitty interviewers and back to the same situation as you had before.

I’ve given plenty of algorithmic driven assessments myself, though mine are generally much shorter and the weights on the questions much simpler (plus I know the actual reasons behind the weight of my questions and why I’m asking them). You can always intervene when someone’s lying and redirect them and can override the algorithm just like this Spanish policy. Lazy judges and police will exist without the tool.

It might be helpful for the tool to include a label that the interviewer thinks the result is unreliable due to the evasiveness of the interviewee, if only to show where the problems are coming from.

Judge would declare that unlawful on the spot but without malicious intent whoever did it would have qualified immunity since a judge hasn’t already ruled on that specific case so it’s a wash.

Councilor Uunona is devastated by this news.

I’ve never seen the ending but from what I remember of what I’ve seen, wasn’t that telegraphed from season 1?

You’ll get that result without an algorithm as well unfortunately. A domestic violence interview often doesn’t result in you getting the truth of what happens because the victim is often economically and emotionally dependent on their partner. It’s helpful to have an algorithm that makes you ask the right questions but there’s still no way I know of to get the right answers of those questions from a victim 100 percent of the time.

Despite this article, I’m still not convinced that the algorithms aren’t better. The policy states that people need to use their best judgement and can override the algorithms. The article argues that the algorithms are being over relied on. The article mentions in passing, however, that the statistics were worse before the algorithm was introduced.

The point of the matter is, best judgement can be shitty. Your average cop has no idea what questions to ask without a list and how important they are per research. Some suggestions are too continue using the tool but use things like psychologists to administer it. The only way you could reasonably have a psych on call for every police station is to make it a remote interview, which frankly doesn’t seem better to me.

In the end, the unstated problem is resources and how best to utilize them to prevent the violence. I’m sure Spain’s policy could be improved but shoring it up with an algorithm is a good practice.

What you’re complaining about is impossible to do without hosting your own instance. I’m not even talking about Lemmy here, in saying from a software perspective. Like you’d have to have local encryption keys only to prevent a host from reading your messages. And there’s no way anyone would just host whatever because the users want it.

I’m not even going to get into the lawsuit talk, because the problem from my perspective is that certain hosts will stop working with you if you get too many takedown notices.

Algorithms aren’t AI. They’re standardization measures in cases like this. Hell you don’t even need computers for many of them. We use tons in healthcare to classify risk, decide on treatment options, and even decide on how much medication to give. They’re particularly present in psychiatric care.

Fragile identity meets fragile identity on the Internet and produces a useless conversation. News at 11.

Might I be a hypocrite? Of course not, it’s the children who are posting.

If the Baltics and the Balkans form a coalition and invade Japan over this then you guys will no longer have to be a black hole for support.

Christ just tell Biden to make them give them to the national archives with an executive order. They’ll figure it out.

Well if it’s linear the cheeta is going somewhere around 100 million miles per hour. Air resistance would quickly make it a no-ass cheeta.
