Back in 2015, software engineer Jacky Alciné pointed out that the image recognition algorithms in Google Photos were classifying his black friends as “gorillas.” Google said it was “appalled” at the mistake, apologized to Alciné, and promised to fix the problem. But, as a new report from Wired shows, nearly three years on and Google hasn’t really fixed anything. The company has simply blocked its image recognition algorithms from identifying gorillas altogether — preferring, presumably, to limit the service rather than risk another miscategorization.
Wired says it performed a number of tests on Google Photos’ algorithm, uploading tens of thousands of pictures of various primates to the service. Baboons, gibbons, and marmosets were all correctly identified, but gorillas and chimpanzees were not.
There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people. An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day. How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...
13 Fascinating Scientific Facts About Blue Eyes Story by Amanda Gardner • 2w Like most human traits, blue eyes are determined by genes, and no two people have exactly the same hue. It works a lot like individual fingerprints , making our eyes two of the most distinctive parts of us. The color of your eyes is really the color of your iris, the ring that surrounds the black pupil in the middle of your eye. Unlike some other inherited traits (like the color of your hair), eye color typically doesn’t change naturally throughout your life. Sure, it can appear to vary depending on the external light source, but the pigment shouldn’t fluctuate (if your eyes do seem to change color, see a specialist). But your eyes aren’t just a pretty feature of your face. They can provide surprising insight into your personality, health status and where you came from in the big story of human history. We talked to three expertsdoctors and researchers with a deep und...
Raceology . n. " A scientific analysis of racial differences." William Shockley Hello, and welcome. The purpose of this site is to explore racial science, race realism, race relations, and ethnography. Unfortunately these issues are shunned by both the mainstream media, and academia, and too often when controversial perspectives are presented they are done so from a supremacist, or extremely distorted and not a race realist perspective. This site aims to present a factual, and fair representation of races, and race differences, though obviously based on the idea that not all groups are equal in their abilities, and not all societies are equal in terms of fairness, and liveability, what is said of some races, ethnicities, and societies and countries may be less flattering than what is said of others. I will try to keep everything presented based either on factual well-researched data, unless it is an opinion piece which may be composed more of anecdotal...
