This thread walks you through a concrete example of how an algorithm can learn racism. It uses some math but only the minimum amount of math possible and has lots of pictures. It is *very* accessible. If that sounds like your thing read on. 🧵👇

For the gazillionth time:

Climate change is not a religion. It is a science.

Do I believe in it? No.

I look at the data, and the data is clear: it's real, it's us, it's bad, and the time to fix it is NOW.

When cars are outlawed only outlaws will have cars.
This puts to the lie the ridiculous claim that gun control = outlawing guns. No. Regulate guns like we regulate cars. Control, not outlawing.
