@bobjonkman, it's not so much the existence of a heuristic or training-datasets that should disturb us, but every specific abuse of those things; we need to be careful to avoid becoming so numb to rampant abuses of technology and knowledge that we start opposing technology or knowledge itself merely because it's easier. Not enough to have identified things to fight—must keep checking whether they're the right things.
I didn't mind #Recaptcha when it helped improve OCR accuracy, but it unsettles me when #Recaptcha is training UAV auto-navigation ("Please select all the images of trees") or facial recognition ("Please select all the images of women")
"Prove you're not a robot: 1) Injure a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2) Disobey orders given by a human being. 3) Jeopardize your own existence." #CaptchasIdLikeToSee
Stuck at home with the baby, today. Realizing I have this issue so infrequently, next time he won't be a baby anymore. Kinda puts a different spin on it. :\ !parenting
