AI is super racist when it only uses things like credit history to determine whether a loan should be approved
Well, Professor, in computer science it is those who CAN create such tools, not those who are ALLOWED to. If an individual of any ethnic background is both capable and interested, they can and often do find jobs that allow them to do so. Your insistence on quotas betrays your systemic racism against blacks being capable.
inventing racism where it is non existent is more like it
Real AI will conclude humans are stupid virtue signalers—and won’t wait around until Silicon Valley decides it is racist or sexist—it will have to annihilate all humans—just to be sure.
He was raised with more white privilege than probably many of our Presidents, many of whom came from humble origins. Who else attended exclusive prep schools in Hawaii, were raised by wealthy and well connected grandparents, and never went without?
He lived on mercer island. I used to live there. My wife had a black friend that lived there and was pretty much the only black family on the island.
She called the school buses “twinkies” because they were yellow on the outside and had a rich white filling. :)
It’s an amazing place - if you can afford it. We lived in “The Scar” just a couple of blocks from Paul Allen’s “compound”. We rented a nice place cheap for a couple of years until they kicked us out and sold the place.
Surprise! This guy is a sociology professor who knows nothing about engineering. Any tech company of any size is desperate to hire minorities and women into their engineering departments, which are overwhelmingly white male. Guess what! The candidates aren't out there! (Even white male candidates are scarce; nobody, including white males, wants to study hard at tough subjects to get into jobs that just get offshored to India. Much easier to study some fluff subject for four years and get an MBA, so you can step directly into management.)
What has Professor Patton done lately to encourage black kids to go into computer science or electrical engineering? That's right: nothing! If the candidates aren't out there, they can't be hired, professor.
By the way, Professor, what you're describing is not "racism" it's "buggy software," and minority candidates will write buggy software also, because they're human beings and software is hard.
AGREED! Oh, and when was there ever a sociology / academic position off-shored to anywhere!
Another thing about fighting racism, it is only an issue in the 1st World Western societies! You want to see real racism, look at Africa and Asia. The Rwandan Genocide of the 1990s, India's caste system and the Dacoits, Japan and its aborigines, the Ainu. China loves basketball but thinks all races are inferior to the Han Peoples. Good luck in getting racial inclusivity going there!
So, basic AI failures are called ‘racism’?
Imbeciles.
Re Professor racist Patton. Hope he realizes that AI is the most integrated electronics system around. After all, the binary coding is in BLACK AND WHITE NUMBERS.
I think Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder even wrote a song about it!!!
Next he’ll attack electric plugs, the old fashioned electronic tubes, and computer connections as “sexist” because they are both male and female.
This guy is a nut. He shouldn’t be allowed to play with anything electric. He might blow himself up. On second thought, give him some C4, a couple detonators and let him take a walk in the woods. It will be the best blow job he ever got, and the last.
