Started watching the Google Pixel 6 launch event. All of the speakers had their pronouns in a blurb next to their names. Then, they talked about how their cameras have been optimized to shoot underserved people of color. I had no idea that cameras were racist until today.
Needless to say, I won't be buying their stupid phone.
So, their phones won’t take picture in color, only black and white? or no white, just black?........................

so they wont be triggered...oh wait that is a gun reference...never mind
I keep seeing some ad for Google Fi being pitched on YouTube. It manages to be both annoying, yet uninformative.
Where did Google find their ‘underserved people of color’?
Surely not among their engineering staff.
The rule of thumb for photographing dark skin was to open the aperture one f-stop wider than with light skin.
Waste of time.
Hardly anyone buys Google phones which are made by other companies anyways.
We don’t have to shoot pocs. They are doing an excellent job of that themselves.
Doesn’t the Pixel 6 shoot pics, not pocs? Or is it “shoot a poc pic?”
Right.
I can just see it now...
There’ll be the simultaneous launch of a Pixel user’s video sharing site:
PicPoc
underserved or undeserved?
Our HS senior class president was a lovely young man originally from Montserrat (the Caribbean island) and was the blackest person I’ve probably ever seen. Photographers had h*ll to pay to get a decent photo of him in class and sports team pics. Either all the white kids around him were wash-out ghosts, or he was a black cutout figure.
I think the take-away here is they’re trying to sell a phone that shoots them!
“Deserves got nuthin’ to do with it...”
AAGGGHHH!!! AI Phone bots are taking over!
It was tough to photograph black people when I was an amateur photographer. You had to set up the correct back ground. BUT I don’t think this is what google is talking about. And what is an “underserved” person? We can watch hour after hour of mayhem from “underserved” people.
Back in the old film days, I knew some darkroom tricks to deal with that problem.
“I had no idea that cameras were racist until today.”
Oh, google got in a bit of hot water a few years ago when their facial recognition software wasn’t working too well for black people...
