That’s a pretty uncharitable interpretation of my post. You shared an example of a single mitigation that you personally find ludicrous (without explaining why). And then I’m supposed to throw up my hands and go “I guess it’s pointless to try and be less racist”?

Bias amplification is a real issue. https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-ch...

Tay might still be around if Microsoft gave a thought to potential issues before release. I’d prefer not to have this awesome technology tainted out of the gate as a tool for racists and pornographers. They’ll get their hands on it eventually but it’d be nice if they don’t get all the up-front press.
