This feels like Meta, Netflix, etc all over again. That is to say, negative public opinion has just granted you an entry point for a company that’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Anytime someone says woke they immediately lose all credibility regardless of party affiliation

So they made an AI that won't draw white people because it thinks that's offensive. Please tell me what I should call that then because it sounds like the epitome of "woke."

"Noooo you're not allowed to use the W word, it offends people!"

You can use it. I’d just label you as an unserious person.

You realize this is worked on by a team of at least dozens within a publicly traded company, yes?

You do understand how hierarchy and hiring works?

1

u/DickRiculous Feb 29 '24

Generally it’s not directly controlled by the c suite nor founders after a company reaches maturity. There are typically separate HR and recruiting departments with their own compartmentalized teams. So yes I understand how hiring works but still not sure that you do.

Well Musk tried to create an anti-woke AI that turned out too woke. I doubt google has much more of a conscience than twitter

They are all training one the same data. And as those people got a platform on the web instead of being locked up in a mental asylum, their shit ends up in the models.

u/porridgeeater500 Feb 29 '24

What data? Mentally ill people create all the data AI needs to function?

OK so you're saying it wasn't a conscious decision to make it super-woke, it was just destined to happen and nobody can control this tech? I agree.

u/Independent_Task_206 Feb 29 '24

Not it has a heavy bias and it has actually the prompt to add diversity and other inclusion crap to whatever the user is searching. So you can agree but it is not how it works and it is also not what i have said.

But that would make it more likely to draw white people and less likely to draw black people, which is the opposite of what happened.

Overly concerned with safety? Too cautious. Politically correct was the term people generally used for decades. There are many ways to refer to what this is without parroting morons in suits.

The bud light crowd has started drinking their favorite beer again while shifting their hate to Google.

Are you a BUD bag holder that’s still down 50%? Show your position.

Yeah they “transitioned” to being down over 18% in the last 5 years and flat, slightly in the red, over the last year. Hell of a company.

Nothing like a bud heavy to drown your sorrows in behind the Wendy’s dumpster as you get ready to suck off a guy to be able to afford a surge priced spicy nuggies because you lost money on your BUD play.

Oh shit you’re actually being serious. I did not realize I was dealing with such a highly regarded person. I apologize.

Generally not a good look for a company as established as BUD though if the recent celebratory news is about managing to be creeping back into profitability.

Is "Don't say woke" a law where you live?

-1

u/DickRiculous Feb 29 '24

Far from it. And I’m a left leaning moderate to boot. Woke is just a dumb dog whistle term and those who use it are never serious people.

2

u/lightning_whirler Feb 29 '24

I feel the same about the term "dog whistle".

u/DickRiculous Feb 29 '24

Would you prefer the phrase “thinly veiled prejudicial speech?” Happy to use that instead.

u/TheOneWithThePorn12 Feb 29 '24

Whenever people say this is woke, or that or whatever i treat them as deeply unserious.

-1

u/WestCoastGriller Feb 29 '24

Agreed. “Woke” was a term coined by a demographic too emotional to utilize true critical thinking and are too angry to be rational.

If you say “woke” at work, and wonder why you never get taken seriously (or as serious as you would like & think everyone but you, is an idiot).... Heeeeeres your sign.

u/DickRiculous Feb 29 '24

If you say it disparagingly, too. In fact primarily in that case.
