They should post another one that says: “I am a former social media account manager.”

you poor bastards, at least there’s comfort in knowing it’ll all be over soon.

Honestly, “He strives to lose in less than 3 hours” would be among the better reasons this team has hired a coach.

So this was fake, but the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl and the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl were legitimate? What a time to be alive...

The algorithm is from Optum, UnitedHealth Group’s health-services arm.

The purpose of the software is not to provide results untainted by unjust racial bias? The study that specifically found racial bias in a medical algorithm is a separate issue from racial bias in medical care?

Why not educate yourself?

So the evaluation would be identical for -anyone- who is poor and unable to skip work to get treated or evaluated?

Sounds more capitalist than racist.

You should also add when wealth was accumulated and blacks prospered, whites came in with the specific purpose of ending it via violence/killing, etc..

The programmers aren’t to blame, they are doing a service. People have been saying this a problem for decades and the algorithm has done nothing but prove it. It doesn’t give people worse care, it ensures they continue to get the same care they already do but makes us confront the fact that we give them different care…

...and the attitude that when they “serve” us, they are doing us a favor.

Thank you for posting these, but a lot of the time they go ignored by the same racist who demanded them. It is part of the white supremacist handbook where they attempt to muddy the waters, claim that the facts are made up, and put the onus on the victims of their idiocy to stop the lie that has already reached…

Also belief that we’re just trying to score drugs, which goes under the “they’re racists” umbrella

There will never be enough stars for this post, and it’ll only scratch the surface...

• Prevailing belief in medical culture that black people feel less pain than other demographics.
  

Racial bias in pain assessment and treatment recommendations, and false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites

Is it that programmers haven’t bothered to counteract human bias or that they didn’t know there was bias there to counteract?

This is why predictive software and AI’s in development have no business in the real world. This article about how Watson screwed up recommendations for cancer treatments gives some good insights.
