#subtle discrimination

“People who own the codes impose them onto others and they are not accountable to anybody.” “We are socially controlled in a way that we don’t see.”

The facial recognition has subtle gender and ethnic bias in the recognition machine learning built-in processes.

It’s such a huge deal, but you don’t really think about it too much. Just take a second right now to really think about how huge a problem it is, right beside sexism and classism.

A common example is how terrible people treat children. As a general rule, you can’t really trust anything a child says and their input is rarely ever taken into account or seriously, right? Why is that?

Children are so fucking intelligent. Have you ever just sat down with a child, listening to them speak, and you can just feel something in you go “goddamn this kid is fucking brilliant”. If you have, great - I have too, we can be buddies. And if you haven’t, I strongly urge you to. Because children are so much smarter than they’re given credit for. I know eight year olds smarter than a lot of the kids in my highschool, and I really do think that kids can open up paths for us we can’t open ourselves. There’s something about kids that still puts fantasies over reality, and maybe that’s really what we may be missing - a dose of youth.
