The solution to this conundrum is to aggressively encode explicit biases into the algorithm. The only requirement is that the explicit biases favor certain demographics that are politically deemed more equal than others.
Almost there. Each individual comes with a distinct set of biases. Social collective action is the contextual weighted average of those individual biases. This results in quite resilient societies: at equilibrium…
See Eastern Europe, 1917-1989. It will kill the infected countries as well, but it will take a few generations for the whole enterprise to utterly collapse.
How about companies operate in their local markets and we abolish multinationals?
You're raising an ethics concern. Strangely, no self-styled 'ethicist' lavishly employed by BigTech appears to be interested in such a topic. It's almost as if the answer to why BigTech hires a certain brand of…

Yugoslavia is a cautionary tale. Humans (and possibly much older than humans) have an builtin in-group / out-group mechanism which, left unchecked, leads to widespread ethnic hatred. It doesn't take much to prime the…
I'd like to call your attention to the following short Twitter (alas) thread. It may help shed some light onto your question: https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1339330010684002304 > In some contexts, the meaning of the…
The public sphere is very heavily slanted. Few people dare come out under their own name and condemn the bullying behavior of Timnit, for fear of being subjected to that very bullying, which has drastic real life…
Given the current public discourse climate in academia, where 99% of the researchers are politically left or extreme left, I recommend a grain of salt for any research that makes claims racial discrimination. The report…
You've worked with a visual appearances dataset, lacking sufficient examples from one class of entities, and it failed to perform well for that class. You solved the problem by adding more example of that class. While…
The entire course of action you suggest could have happened were not for Timnit going public by her own volition, accusing her employer and coworkers of unethical behavior in the process, and encouraging sympathetic…
