Amazon AI did this with resumes 10+ years ago. It was trained on data from a biased world, and assumed that the trends of lower hiring, promotions, and job length meant women and POC are worse at the job. So it stopped hiring them and had to be abandoned. Doing this with faces feels too on-the-nose.

What’s next, AI discovers a correlation between skin color and income?
AI has discovered a hiring bias, not causative relationship.

I get emails asking, “why aren’t you writing??”
It’s like skydiving..
When I jumped out of a plane for the first time, my brain was in shock at free falling into nothingness, while being hit by air pressure + windspeed.
I couldn’t process what was happening.
That’s been the last few weeks.

Writing is how I process the world. It’s one of my joys. I loved keeping notebooks as a kid, asking questions. Words were fun!
But little me never imagined that my writing about the world could come with a heavy price.
Professional purging. Life or death consequences.
All because of words.

Teachers at nine high schools in northeastern Australia discovered days before an ancient history exam that they had mistakenly taught their students about the wrong Roman ruler — Augustus Caesar instead of his predecessor, Julius Caesar.

I taught 6th grade today…teacher out. No sub. They’re working on ratios so I gave them a project. Identify a food, four ingredients and the measurement for each one. They had to create a ratio table. This is what one of the groups turned in. 😒

My daughter's pediatrician's husband arrived in Los Angeles by bus from the southeast. His community was scared he (a very bright black boy) was going to be lynched. They pooled enough $ for a one-way bus ticket to LA & told him to find a high school, ask a teacher for help.

The Florida town where I grew up had a road named Lynching Tree Drive until 1980. James Clark was lynched on that street in 1926 and it took over fifty years for the town to decide the name should be changed.

Here’s a little bit of joy for your feed. I illustrated these braided hairstyles for the back of Oshún and Me, written by @adibanelson.bsky.social. I wanted them to look like the pictures in the Black hair books and magazines that I would see at the hairdresser as a kid. 💛 #kidlitart

My grandmother was born in 1912 born to a 13 YO. Her Aunt raised her..she was 70 years old when she took her in as a baby. If you do the math
