I haven’t ignored any of that; I simply don’t believe that it is ethical to use the state’s monopoly on violence to punish individual actors (including said industry) without due process. If you want the state to fund…
Is the prevailing goal of our justice system to convict this one particular defendant, or to ensure that trials are as fair as possible for all defendants?

I don’t think it would actually be nice if the burden of proof rested on the accused. This example isn’t a study of systemic bias, and is both individually and statistically meaningless. It would be nice, however, if…
Home appraisal is arbitrary and subjective — ridiculously so. All this particular stunt shows is that two appraisers can and will appraise a home wildly differently — which anyone who has their home appraised already…
Or, I could refer to what actually occurs in practice. My original point stands.
Switch teams to a different domain every six months? In the domains I’ve worked in, it might take six months just to get the basic idea sketched out and working. The current project has a timeline of 8 years to full…

It makes it impossible to assign an individual identity — and evaluate individual behavior and status — as merely a function of their coarse-grained group membership.
That’s the theory, which, if you actually took to its logical conclusion, would result in treating and evaluating every individual as an individual, and the entire concept of group identity as a short-hand mechanism for…

It’s a blind spot in DEI and intersectionality; the idea that an oppressed class can also be an oppressor class, and that it’s not an attribute of the perpetrator’s class at all, but in fact, situational and individual.
DEI is intersectional praxis, not a “rebranding of the struggle for equality”
The most charitable interpretation is that they are attempting to increase representation in the pipeline of candidates, such that their unbiased, neutral selection process will naturally produce outcomes representative…
“DEI” is both a very recent and a uniquely western ideological construction.

Your entire point hinges on a false assumption; “training” a human artist (or programmer) is the same as training an AI model. It is not. The AI model can only regurgitate stolen mash-ups of other people’s work.…
> It's the same as if a human artist studied it. It’s not a human artist, and it can only regurgitate mash-ups of work stolen from others.
Stealing people’s work to serve as your training set is not human progress. Sounds like the AI model should be paying royalties to every affected artist for the right to sample their work.
