Once again, algorithms are opinions expressed in code

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 44 points 2 days ago

I am still disgusted by the smug computer touching misanthropes that claimed earlier this century that algorithms were nonpolitical and by design could have no bias.

They're still smug computer touching misanthropes to this day and they still disgust me in new ways.

claimed earlier this century

Langdon Winner's "Do Artifacts Have Politics?" (JSTOR open access link) written all the way back in 1980 should be mandatory reading, especially for these people. Even a bridge can be political.

Speaking of nonpolitical…

Mr. Kratsch said that, “under political pressure,” the company removed race, gender and birth country as factors before the current school year.

I asked the magic eight ball if we should put more kids in poverty and it said yes so we're really out of options here

10 people control 95% of the resources how do we solve this problem?

Hey motherfuckers we have strategies for assessing children’s skills which are evidence-based and norm-referenced by grade level. There are these people who are trained to administer them and then use those assessments to gain specific information on what skills are behind so that individualized strategies can be applied to catch them up. These people are called teachers. They study applied sciences for at least half a decade before reaching the classroom and then continue to do professional development throughout their careers. You should give them a try.

Hmm but the computer just keeps saying "mulch the children" so I'm not really sure what to think here

[-] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 11 points 2 days ago

Computer never lie.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
