any racism detection algorithm coded in silicon valley will rate racial slurs and twitter screenshots that say "white people dont season their food" as equally racist

that article links to a different article that provides more detail on how the gently caress this happened:

quote:

Prof Torralba told us a little more on how the library was constructed: a huge list of words – including derogatory terms – was obtained and then code was written to search the web for images using these words, and combine the lot.

it later states that the list of words was only like 50k words long. if they had paid 1 or 2 people to look for slurs in an afternoon this probably wouldn’t have been nearly as awful. too much effort for ml i guess

the list of words is from WordNet, which is a linguistic dataset from the 80s. and apparently includes racial slurs??

also lol that apparently the way they made the dataset was just scraping the first page of Google images for every word...

at least it was from 2008. not that it was more acceptable then, but it was easier to pretend that the data didn't matter as much (as ml was simply pretty bad), so as long as a proper apology is issued and the data removed we can get back to trying to get present-day projects to not be hilariously racist.
