@colourblindorg According to today’s Times, LFR (live facial recognition) has been trialled and a public consultation is live. It uses a red frame around the face which turns green when the face is matched to someone who is wanted. Can we be sure the operator is not colourblind?

@j_amesmarriott Thank you. I am a retired computer professional whose guiding principle was always “make sure every line of code is tested”. Once there weren’t many of us, but there must now be thousands like me who cringe daily at the thought of something called AI. And people need jobs.
@j_amesmarriott completely agree with your piece in the Times today, The Big Tech hype cycle.
We are in thrall to science, particularly anything computer based. Lack of healthy scepticism caused the Post Office scandal.

The colours on the colourblind version of Wordle have changed but there’s no mention of it anywhere on Google. Am I going bonkers? Can NYT explain please?
@colourblindorg First pic is usual colour scheme,second pic is new colour scheme. Not only has colour of letters changed from white to black but background colour of failed letters has changed to grey from black.
