Best way of delivering exposition in a long while. Really like the eggs.

I mean, some of Isaac Asimov’s stories was about robots trying to decide if the emotional harm they caused breached the first law. Still though, Asimov imagined every chatbot would be a big bulky robot, not a tiny app in your pocket.

that is one happy child

The Mark IV, everything else doctrinally impure.

I’m not sure why that’s a relevant distinction to make here. A statistical model is just as capable of designing (for instance) an atom bomb as a human mind is. If anything, I would much rather the machines destined to supplant me actually could think and have internal worlds of their own, that is far less depressing.

doctrinal purists will point at the tankiest tank to ever tank and then say “nuh uh, that’s a AIFPCDTSPU, no true tank has been built since the korean war.”

The funny thing is this meme could be ten times as long and still not cover the entire range of products.

you have 70 dudes, just arm one with a baseball bat.

Congradulations, you have replaced the problem statement with one 100 times larger, and offered no actual solutions to achiving the larger problem statement (the abolition of capitalism) or the smaller (Flouro-Carbons)

We scrolled through the feed every couple of weeks to check what was being served up.

This is a critical flaw in the studies methodology. ‘loiter time’ is a metric used by algorithms to serve up new content, if the researchers where checking each post for signs of misogyny, then they were probably skipping by totally innocucus stuff whilst paying attention to misogyny. This (being the only feedback given) will have shown the researchers what they wanted to see.

Three months later, The Office, Star Wars, and now The Boys memes continue to punctuate the feed, now interspersed with highly sexist and misogynistic images that have have appeared in the feed without any input from the user.

It’d be good to know the actual ratios, given this was a guardian study there’s no reason to withhold data, nor a secondary source I can go and find the data. It’s possible that Facebook is simply serving up the entire spectrum of posts proportionately to their activity on the internet, or even favouring anti-sexist posts that are just not noticed/mentioned by the guardian.

Does anyone genuinely believe banning this sorta stuff is going to “end violence against women and children in one generation”?

thank mr skeltal

oh shit you’re right
