@pconrad Sure, I understood the intended meaning, and it is indeed a pervasive problem with many CV systems, and many CV training sets. - But death is (even) worse than discrimination.

@TatianaTMac At least you're still brushing ....

@AndrewYNg Explainable AI - not in the sense if playing "what-if" games (which are exponentially explosive, duh)

But in connecting discovered knowledge with human-habitable mental models.

A single causal model replaces 1e24 "what-ifs".

@TatianaTMac ... What are those costs named?

T A X E S

[Apperson H. Johnson @appersonj]

@TatianaTMac ... What we really need is TEMPERED capitalism - with realistic assessments of costs of various choices, e.g.:
The COST of bad/absent healthcare
The COST of environment & climate destruction
The COST of poverty
Optimizing with realistic costs will get us pretty close to truth ...

[Apperson H. Johnson @appersonj]

@TatianaTMac Yes. I like it. If you ever try to do multiobjective optimization - IT IS DIFFICULT TO SCORE OUTCOMES - the non-dominated set may be enormous.

Converting everything to dollar$ is a HUGE simplification.....

What is particularly tragic is that Richard Nixon was RE-ELECTED - BY A LARGE MAJORITY - in 1972 !
This is not lost on our current administration. It is the plan.

@miaisverytired The Kent State killings were on May 4, 1970.
(here's the soundtrack: https://t.co/XNeibgFvwg)
Ten days later, at Jackson State College (now JSU) 2 more students were killed by State Police, and 12 others injured. They didn't get the airplay, they were not white. ....

@TatianaTMac I have met Black Karens, Asian Karens, and male Karens

I see it as anyone who believes that they necessarily deserve privilege. Western Industrial nations are 98% Karen.

Do we deserve the privilege of destroying this planet?

[Apperson H. Johnson @appersonj]

@nminow @TatianaTMac IMO - capitalism is an efficient way to allocate resources, as long as monopolies and collusion are prevented.

@TatianaTMac Thank you for this - I was unaware of her works, which are transcendent.

@TatianaTMac I, for one, think youre generation is Great. You are 1000x more accepting of the variety of humanity than mine is/was. And *I* am a boomer who grew up in the 50s and 60s !

The suspension of the H1B visa program is bad for the US, bad for innovation, and will shatter dreams and disrupt lives. As a former H1B visa holder, my heart goes out to all the families affected.

[Apperson H. Johnson @appersonj]

@AndrewYNg Where would TECH in USA be without foreign students?

How would US employment look without all of the companies built by foreign students?

It's hard to imagine a worse decision coming from DJT -even after he held a rally in the middle of a pandemic.
