Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Literally everyone knows that AI is racist. They did this while fully understanding and accepting the implications of their actions. Surely that should count toward a higher fine
I doubt it. My boss has a massive AI boner and he doesn't know shit about anything AI. I really don't think he's aware of this or other issues.
Your boss is a cop, right? They are the only ones where ignorance of the law is an excuse not to follow it.
My friend, not every AI rates people for their skin tone.
Pretty sure every single one since Tay has been fairly racist. They get around that fact in many modern AIs by forcing subject changes but it’s still fairly racist on the backend. Early “jailbreaking” proved as much.
My coding AI is bullshit and almost every Kotlin, SQL, Java or whatever snippet is a hallucination, but I'm pretty sure it's not racist.
Not all AIs are made for the topic here. But all suffer from the same issues. Shit in, shit out.
Filing this away in my “Mao was right, let’s ‘abolish’ the landlords” folder
Cost of doing business.
Good news is it wasn't JUST a $2.28 million fine, they're now banned from using this AI scoring system for 5 years.
Of course, it'd be far better if it was a permanent ban.
give their devs a couple hours they'll have a totally different--but not really that different, system, and business as usual will continue.
