Groundbreaking work. AI predicted higher crime rates in black, Hispanic and poorer areas. How intelligent could an AI system be if it thinks like that?
“And so PredPol continues to make crime predictions that are incredibly unevenly distributed by race.” Lol, these people belong in padded cells.
I can’t stop laughing at this.
"locations with lots of predictions tended to have high arrest rates in general" OH MY GOD WHAT BIAS
The algorithm already ignores race, therefore ignoring a major predictor of crime. But that’s enough! They want it to be even stupider, and practice affirmative action to get a more “even distribution of crime prediction,” which was shown to be less accurate.

At least France knows the source of its problems, which is more than can be said for Americans. It had a chance. nytimes.com/2021/11/28/wor…
French “gender non-conforming” student on backlash to new pronoun: “This for me was very violent.” They even speak the language of the colonizer!
“Everyone still calls me ‘he,’ which is pretty disappointing for political science students.” Not political science students!

Fauci: “They're really criticizing science because I represent science. That's dangerous."

The hubris of modern bureaucrats would put any monarch to shame.
“What happened on January 6, Senator?” Just an unbiased public servant only concerned with saving lives.
Funny how nobody on the right noticed Trump could’ve fired this guy. Leftists would’ve noticed.

This has erupted into an important story on conservative, neo-con and Russiagate Twitter, as they've found common cause. Story is fake news from African papers. Nat sec propaganda moved on from Middle East to China, there's too much there to even shoot it all down.
Don't blame people for getting caught up in this, most can't investigate everything. So you should start with prior that the same people who were lying about Russiagate and GWOTr are lying about China, and propagandizing to make everyone "independently" arrive at same conclusions
I don't do a thorough independent fact check for every tweet. At least, if I see a story from an unfamiliar news source, I will do 5 secs of googling before sharing. Check out how many people don't meet that standard, blue checks across political spectrum.

“‘Everyone wants equity as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them,’ said Eric Moore, senior officer for accountability, research and equity for Minneapolis Public Schools.”

What do you pay taxes for if not to be inconvenienced and sometimes put in danger? nytimes.com/2021/11/27/us/…
“Racially segregated schools.. are associated with larger gaps in student performance, because they tend to concentrate students of color in high poverty environments.” Which is why high poverty zones like all of China never have been to able to achieve anything academically.
“There was no direct bus, and Isabella’s commute could take up to 55 minutes. She would also have to walk from the bus stop to school through an area where frequent gun shots are a problem.

But Ms. Wulfsberg, who described herself as a lifelong Democrat, felt..” You can guess!

Facebook’s algorithm was problematic because it treated expressions of hatred for whites and men same as for other groups. It therefore had a “disparate impact” against minorities, which it should’ve revealed to “civil rights leaders.” washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Facebook rejected a plan to treat speech directed against people who were “Black, Jewish, LGBTQ, Muslim or of multiple races” more harshly, another sign of their “racism.” They finally agreed though to stop automatically taking down criticisms of whites, Americans and men.
It’s clear here that Facebook was taking into account conservative considerations, but was being pushed by the media and civil rights orgs. Focusing on big tech and woke capital are a mistake, they’re all being pushed by the same people in the same direction.
