They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

but I was also thinking it might refer to the youtube algorithm that says “oh you like any kind of video about any topic? We think you’ll enjoy racism.”

Oh my god, and here I was feeling hella embarrassed about the recommended videos on my YouTube page. Good to know it's not my specific watching habits that make YouTube think I'm interested in THE TRUTH about the Clintons or whatever the gently caress.

Ok fine, I’ll be the dumb guy who finally asks. What are these Twitter posts with pictures of people showing? I just see pictures...nothing about how a computer program identified them as human or not human.

Twitter automatically crops images for no reason other than to make you click through to twitter to see the full image, surprise: the algorithm that determines which part of the cropped image to display is racist

Ohhhhh. Cool, thanks

Now that I actually understand what these are, this is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the internet

e: I mean, the one I quoted, specifically, not the algorithm’s flaws in general
