Ultra Left-Wing VICE Media tries to label the connection between Epstein and pizzagate, to Qanon, while calling it a right-wing conspiracy…
December 7, 2018
Ultra-Far Left-Wing VICE Media interviews radical feminist university lecturer who "studies" how white men radicalize on the internet, and how "conspiracies like pizzagate" originate. The article and the feminist being interviewed have no shame in spreading disinfo. In fact the radical feminist wrongly states how Qanon mentions Tom Hanks (which never happened) and has put his name out there as something to focus on. Also, they couldn't help but tie in Trump to all of this and - unsurprisingly - put the blame on him. It's a really deranged read. We lost a few thousand brain cells going through it this morning. But don't worry, centipedes regenerate quickly. 🐛⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Artificial Intelligence Experts Issue Urgent Warning Against Facial Scanning With a “Dangerous History”…
December 7, 2018
AI Now’s 2018 report is a 56-page record of how “artificial intelligence” — an umbrella term that includes a myriad of both scientific attempts to simulate human judgment and marketing nonsense — continues to spread without oversight, regulation, or meaningful ethical scrutiny. The report covers a wide expanse of uses and abuses, including instances of racial discrimination, police surveillance, and how trade secrecy laws can hide biased code from an AI-surveilled public.
[...]
What’s worse than bad science passing judgment on anyone within camera range is that the algorithms making these decisions are kept private by the firms that develop them, safe from rigorous scrutiny behind a veil of trade secrecy.

Pseudoscience paired with state-of-the-art computer engineering and placed in a void of accountability. What could go wrong?
