Facebook Apologizes After AI Tech Labels
Black Men As 'Primates'

Original Article

Posted By: Black Conservative Voice, 9/4/2021 11:33:58 AM

Facebook recently apologized after an A.I. program mistakenly labeled a video featuring Black men as "about Primates." The video, posted by The Daily Mail on June 27, 2020, shows clips of Black men and police officers. An automatic prompt asked users if they would like to "keep seeing videos about Primates," despite the video clearly featuring no connection or content related to primates.

Did the fake fact checkers try to cover for their stupidity?

In addition to being primates, all humans and other vertebrates are also chordates. Is that a bad word, too? Primate and Chordate Lives Matter.

So they are not primates, meaning they must be some lower form of animal life.

Some of my liberal utopian friends seriously suggest that all government decisions be turned over to a master AI program, in effect creating an artificial God. This should show why that's a bad idea, but I doubt they'll be swayed.

Poster 14: Your liberal utopian friends reveal their ignorance. Any AI still has to be programmed and occasionally given maintenance. The people who design the Program or update the hardware control the AI. Years ago, when Robert Heinlein wrote fiction, instead of trash, he wrote a book where two school kids decided to build a computer to do their homework for them. They eventually succeeded, and realized, at the end, that to design the damn thing, they had to do - AND KNOW - all the work they wanted done anyway. Those Utopian idiots are somewhere near the beginning of that book, character-wise. They simply don't want a 'god' out of their control who might actually condemn any of their actions.

Good God how stupid are these people look up the definition of the word first before you go apologizing to anyone. The fact that some uneducated dunce complains because he or she or it or whatever is too ignorant to know the meaning of the word primate should not be your problem. Send them a dictionary and tell them to read a bit before they start clutching their pearls. When is enough stupidity enough?

I'm currently reading a new (2020) book "A Brief History Of Artificial Intelligence". Non-technical and highly recommended. It discusses the difficulties AI has in analyzing photos and scenes. e.g. the slightest change in ambient lighting can determine if AI will decide whether an animal is a panda or is a gibbon. Currently I'm reading the chapter on self-driving car problems. And Tesla's woes with the Autopilot.

Afghans arriving in the United States and being temporarily resettled at U.S. military bases will receive one-time payments from the State Department, funded by American taxpayers. As Breitbart News reported, President Joe Biden’s administration is looking to turn various military bases in Texas, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Virginia, New Mexico, and Indiana into refugee camps that can accommodate about 50,000 Afghans. Most of all Afghans headed to military bases for temporary resettlement are arriving on “humanitarian parole,” which does not expire for at least two years. These Afghans are not eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), P-2 visas, or refugee status.

Psaki, fielding questions at Monday’s White House press briefing, declined to “get into details” of how specifically U.S. forces are carrying out the equipment destruction or recovery but assured reporters “that is part of their effort.”

At this time last year, the Wuhan coronavirus was claiming around 1,000 American lives per day. It seemed to me that, absent a sudden and sharp decline in that number, Joe Biden would be our next president. It must have seemed that way to Biden and his top advisers, as well. During presidential debates that occurred a little less than a year ago, Biden ripped Trump for his handling of the pandemic. The death count was the centerpiece of this attack. So what’s the daily death count now, more than seven months into the Biden administration and with a majority of Americans vaccinated?

Nancy Sinatra told Midler on Twitter that, “My dad actually suggested that decades ago.” One commenter told Midler, “Did you know you’re my Shero?” Actress Rosanna Arquette, however, was not so upbeat about Midler’s not so modest proposal.

What's with the bizarre campaign against Ivermectin? It's not just that the FDA has put out a quackish tweet (shown here by AT contributor Dr. Brian Joondeph, M.D.) scolding viewers that they are not horses or cows. That's in reference to the fact that in some high-dose forms, ivermectin is used as a horse dewormer, begging the question about its effectiveness when it is dosed and formulated properly as a human medical treatment for COVID, prescribed off-label. The news reports repeatedly call ivermectin a dangerous drug, implying that all uses of the drug are dangerous, even when taken properly.

The Delta variant is driving a surge in the coronavirus pandemic in the US as the Labor Day weekend begins, with new daily cases four times higher than they were a year ago despite rising vaccination rates. On Friday, the national seven-day rolling average of daily new cases was nearly 163,000, an increase of more than 300 percent from Labor Day weekend 2020, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of Johns Hopkins data. Hospitalizations also doubled, and deaths were up 80 percent from last Labor Day.
