someone I know who works at Google told me they literally hard-code race-base switches into their algorithms. Like in photo-detection, if the skin tone is darker than a certain threshold the code will treat it differently. SMH

this territory is moderated

Why is google doing this?

Brainwash users by elevating the importance of black people?

That's not a secret that "someone who works at Google” has to tell you 😂

Google openly said that for years. Image search tries to find photos with a diverse group of people.

And it's not even always a negative e.g. camera exposure being different for darker skin is something that all smartphones do. The photos look better this way for everybody. No debate 🤓
