  • Mmmm…. I think the title may be a bit strongly worded, but the concept that a big data company like Google isn’t doing what you expect them to be doing with your data…. Despite clear efforts to do so… that’s kind of concerning.

    Like it’s cool that they have this DB and that things like this are getting fixed, it might be nice if they were more transparent about this… but it seems like they’re trying. And yet, so many privacy issues crop up due to the shear quantity and variety of data they process.

    Thing is, our brains could work the exact same way…. Only they’re constantly being trained, and have enough neurons that many clusters can be dedicated to very specific contexts.

    Today is _____

    Well, given the context that my phone says 1:20, and it’s dark, when I fell asleep it was Tuesday, and that Wednesday comes after Tuesday…. Plus all the necessary training that allowed me to understand all that context 24/hours in a day; days start at 12:00, 1 comes after 12 but only in our time of day system.


  • If the fear for a typical woman is this bad, then we need to be better about teaching boys. I’m a pretty empathetic person, just ask my new very rapidly made female best friend. But despite the wife, and a few pretty damn close female friends, close mom, sister…. The fears expressed in my short reading on the current discussion have never been as clearly communicated, well the fear was definitely clear, but not the magnitude.

    I agree with the sentiment that it’s just a bad premise. It puts everyone straight into a defensive posture, and no one learns anything when they’re trying to defend their sense of self.

    On the other hand, if people are going to DMs to harass beyond the context of the heated conversation… well they ARE DEFINITELY the kind of people who are a threat, and need to be dealt with.
