Twitter drops 'biased' picture crop algorithm
rthk.hk ^ | 5/20/21

Posted on 05/20/2021 2:53:57 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Twitter said on Wednesday it was scrapping an automated image-cropping system after its review found bias in the algorithm controlling the function.

The messaging platform said it found the algorithm delivered "unequal treatment based on demographic differences" with whites and males favoured over blacks and females, and "objectification" bias that focused on a woman's chest or legs, described as "male gaze."

Another Indian H1B piece-of-whale bowel movement

Why are we letting Indians and Communist Chinese control everything online?

Looks like the concept of the “male gaze” is getting a lot of play recently. Must be building up as something that needs to be gotten rid of.

Male gaze or males in general?

It’s an dot Indian phase and thing. Indian males can’t control them in India or elsewhere. You should see how they stare at women in Dubai, Singapore and in the UK (probably elsewhere as well)

They call sexual assault and rape merely “Eve teasing” there in India

Meanwhile there's a (REAL) YouTube ad promoting mental health saying you can get some tips for improving your mental health from YouTube creators...My aren't we full of ourselves.

Not fake news and certainly not a joke.

One and the same. All politicians - expect Trump - love their Cheap Indian and Mexican Labor Express

And we are importing rape culture Indians (male gaze, eve teasing) into the US at a record pace.

Luckily Coronavirus restrictions will prevent that for a while.

Sounds like Twitter had a smart algorithm. Here’s how I would operate if I was working in the executive offices of any major U.S. corporation:

“Eliminate everyone except white people from our marketing and promotional materials. Based on the highly publicized complaints we’ve seen in the media about Uncle Ben’s Rice, Aunt Jemima, Land o’ Lakes, and the Cleveland Indians, we’ve decided that any people of color we use in our ads are likely to be offensive to someone.”

Never having heard the term, I assumed “male gaze” was a euphemism for ogling or leering, something that exists in all cultures.

Selling out American workers is a bi-partisan effort.

“Looks like the concept of the “male gaze” is getting a lot of play recently. Must be building up as something that needs to be gotten rid of.”

Rush said that feminism was created to allow unattractive women access to the wheels of power. This sounds to me like it will become a significant insult to not ogle with desire, some fat hog with pink hair and black rimmed glasses. Or it could be a lead-in for burkas or Mao suits for all. Nothing good comes from feminism. Nothing.
