"machine learning" is an exciting technology which allows computers to become more racist than ever before. silicon valley loves it because it lets them squeeze more money out of the massive amounts of surveillance data they've got sitting around. however, most of the time it doesn't actually work.

FAQ:

Q: how do i machine learning?
acquire a large amount of illegally harvested user data. feed it to your computer. trust whatever the computer spits out

Q: how should i use machine learning?
don't use machine learning

Q: what is deep learning?
deep learning is when you use your graphics card to do machine learning. deep learning is only useful for speech synthesis and niche pornography

Q: is machine learning going to cause the singularity?
no. machine learning exists exclusively to allow hiring managers and advertising executives be racist slightly more efficiently

Q: how do i acquire machine learning figgies?
get a phd. sorry, i don't make the rules

Q: what is the 'kernel trick'?
a sex act performed by talented professionals in a particularly exclusive gentleman's club on the outskirts of Reno

obligatory ceglowski quote incoming

quote:

[T]reating the world as software promotes fantasies of control. And the best kind of control is control without responsibility. Our unique position as authors of software used by millions gives us power, but we don't accept that this should make us accountable. We're programmers—who else is going to write the software that runs the world? To put it plainly, we are surprised that people seem to get mad at us for trying to help.

Fortunately we are smart people and have found a way out of this predicament. Instead of relying on algorithms, which we can be accused of manipulating for our benefit, we have turned to machine learning, an ingenious way of disclaiming responsibility for anything. Machine learning is like money laundering for bias. It's a clean, mathematical apparatus that gives the status quo the aura of logical inevitability. The numbers don't lie.

we do ~*UBA*~ software and after years of management crying we don't have machine learning and can't sell anything without it, we finally released something and barely any of our customers give a poo poo aside from a checkmark on an RFP.

for certain things we advertise they certainly do and really put us through the paces (Mainly pass the hash detection). for the ML bullshit they're like oh great, I don't even have to see it generate anything during the eval, at least I can get my boss off my back saying you guys to do it.

i'd only do it if there were a way to prevent people from using it to deep fake other people.

maybe you could engineer some sort of placard that you could mail them and then they could hold it up in their photos to verify their id or something.

e: yeah i dont think you could prevent abuse.
