Why the hell do people think that POD CASTING is the shizzle? Every time I turn around, someone has a new pod cast. Most of them are trash, if we're honest here. I listen to only two or three regularly. All these celebs be like "people need to hear my opinions and they need to hear me shoot the shit with my fellow celebs."

I like Adam Carolla, because he's a funny dude. I listen to the Lanterne Rouge because it's the best cycling related podcast. Also, have I said that I F***ing hate Lance Armstrong? I do. That guy is a POS, a cheat and a fraud. He can die in a fire, for all I care.

AI is racist and sexist because it can accurately make use of basic statistics?

You train an algorithm in the US where black men commit crimes at a higher rate than any other combinations of race/sex, and you're surprised when they show criminals as black men at a higher rate than any other combination of race/sex? If you trained the AI in different country, where whites commit crimes a higher rate than blacks, I'm confident that the AI would pick white men most often as the face of crime (I'm fully confident that only in Themyscira do women commit more crime than men on average) and nobody would say mention racism.

And just how many men identify as "homemaker?" Change it to "homebuilder" and I bet AI would be picking the face of high testerone men for that label.
