A concrete rebuttal to "I don't see race": a number of facial-recognition developers famously ignored race too, and - having failed to actually test a variety of skin tones - ended up with software that literally couldn't see black people.
Sorely tempted to put the Caucasia-vision scene in Undercover Brother here. "Caucasian overload! Caucasian overload! . . . I see white people."
@noelle I've seen that with automated faucets too.
@noelle
That attitude is probably why I can't use some automatic faucets
@uglycommie @noelle yep! some motion detectors have the same problem
@noelle That could be a neat plot point in a cyberpunk dystopia novel.
@frameacloud I mean, it's an actual thing that happened in reality. :)
@noelle Right, it's the kind of thing that would seem clever if it was in fiction, but when we run into it in real life, it just makes us go "argh, seriously?"
@noelle I should not have assumed Better Off Ted actually had to exaggerate anything to arrive at this plot element. I should have just known.
@nore You've clearly put a lot of effort into deliberately not understanding this subject and I want to acknowledge your hard work in the field of remaining ignorant.
@noelle
The Kinect is a prize example of exactly this.
