pride and prejudice (IDK, it's 11PM)

 So they took machines, smart ones, and tried to teach them to hire people.

But they ended up being prejudiced, or the programmers were prejudiced (only they didn't know it)

Consider for a moment the famous people named "Jared" and something about sports.

Sporty people named Jared might be good workers, say some.

(whut?)

train of thought, back to front:

• https://theconversation.com/we-invited-an-ai-to-debate-its-own-ethics-in-the-oxford-union-what-it-said-was-startling-173607
• And Google news, the part below whatever politics they could scrape up.

I wrote two separate entries about this, which went on about nice eyes, and I think there's a blog-entry in here somewhere about the shape of a face being used to profile people.

The two entries were erased quickly because they looked (*could* look) prejudiced, and I'm not all that sure about this one.

"Nice" eyes, define "Nice" (for example.)

Stereotypical Swoon material (it's his makeup)

Who is your uncle, and who is Satan Incarnate(TM)?
Hard to choose (and I am NOT going to help)

And the entries (they're gone now) argued that, at least on women, eyes can be manipulated with makeup to project a certain image.

Bold And Beautiful

OK, back to whatever I wrote last week:

PS how do you program your own subjectiveness into a computer?

And should you?

The way an applicant shakes your hand, the way they're dressed, the numerical score on some vague test having very little/nothing to do with their job (because the test is for a large company, not one single department)

"Do Microwaves travel in straight lines or do they bounce up and down, in a waveguide" for example, or complicated circuitry solutions, 

That and a calculator give you the answer
to question 7 (which is in pictogram form)

might not judge an assembler or a tester's abilities.

And passing those tests, you might still fail the handshake/dress-code. Do you reek of tobacco, are your teeth covered with coffee stains? You didn't just have a beer (OMG) etc.

If we know how to cozy up to AI, ...

Let's see,,,

Find out which brand of machines they use, study up on those machines

(Were they inculcated by feminists, or black caucuses, white farmers, indigent students,
brown-nosers looking for gold-stars, or "Mr. Burns"?)

"There's something wrong with him," "I wouldn't hire him"
