The Moonbattiest Article Of All Time??: ALGORITHMS MYSTERIOUSLY DETECT RACE BY LOOKING AT MERE BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS!!!! SZIENTIZTS BAFFLED!!!!

The stupid...it buuuuurrrrnnnssss.....

   No thanks to the Mystic for inflicting this on me. It'd be like a 5 minute read if I hadn't had to read one graph, storm around ranting and raving, read another graph, repeat...

   This would be a great example for a philosophy of science class. When you are in the grip of a stupid theory, perfectly ordinary facts can seem inexplicably puzzling. (Conversely, facts that ought to puzzle you can seem unremarkable.)

   I mean, what could possibly explain the astonishing fact that algorithms that are good at detecting biological characteristics of humans--but incapable of detecting anything else--are extremely good at detecting race? 

It's a fucking mystery!

I guess we'll never know...

O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM!
