I think American techbros, who can't answer if it's okay for people to be racist, probably shouldn't be delivering AI platforms that speak for people without supervision. Just a thought.
@GossiTheDog They would claim that since the choice is done by an algo, it is math and therefore not racist/sexist.
@rrb
They would be fucking idiots who don't understand how their own tools work at even the most basic level if they said that.
@GossiTheDog
I wish @rrb was joking, but that's word for word the justification used by LeCun as to why algorithms can't be racist circa 2018-2019, on Twitter.
