  • Many plagues were caused by lack of basic hygiene. Of course I wouldn’t want to miss modern medicine, but living back then with a lot less people around and equipped with todays knowledge would actually be pretty neat.

    …but not with my teeth…i would have probably died already if not for modern ways of dealing with tooth-aches…


  • I may have oversimplified my statement. Of course an objective description of reality is impossible. A curse on all social sciences and statistics.

    My post was more a showerthought…even if the data is incomplete, whatever THAT data implies will also be the stereotype the AI will learn. Misrepresentation of minorities in sample data is absolutely nothing new. But even if the data WAS complete, it would probably still be very biased. I think we often don’t notice structural discrimination and AI would simply reproduce those and confront us with it. In that sense I think it is a very interesting way to get a sort of ‘outside look’ at our own society and that is something that’s very useful.
