FaceBook is Recruiting Its Censorship AI Programmers From an Interesting Source: Communist China

Perfect. FaceBook is importing censorship and social control from their Chinese partners.


China is one of the most censorious societies on Earth. So what better place for Facebook to recruit social media censors?

There are at least half a dozen "Chinese nationals who are working on censorship," a former Facebook insider told me last week. "So at some point, they [Facebook bosses] thought, 'Hey, we're going to get them H-1B visas so they can do this work.'"

The insider shared an internal directory of the team that does much of this work. It's called Hate-Speech Engineering (George Orwell, call your office), and most of its members are based at Facebook's offices in Seattle. Many have Ph.D.s, and their work is extremely complex, involving machine learning -- teaching "computers how to learn and act without being explicitly programmed," as the techy website DeepAI.org puts it.

When it comes to censorship on social media, that means "teaching" the Facebook code so certain content ends up at the top of your newsfeed, a feat that earns the firm's software wizards discretionary bonuses, per the ex-insider. It also means making sure other content "shows up dead-last."

Like, say, a New York Post report on the Biden dynasty's dealings with Chinese companies.

You know what we need? More globalization and more race-to-the-bottom social control policies imported from Communist China.

14 For those who don't know how AI works, the gist of it is that you create an algorithm, train it on sets of data to obtain a desired outcome, check that it is doing what you want (correctly identifying streetlights versus icecream trucks, for example), then unleash it in the real world on real-word data (e.g., social media posts).

So Big Tech can say that it is just AI doing all the censorship and up-ranking and down-ranking of news. But in reality, the AI is just doing what Big Tech programmed and taught the AI to do.

My thing with all this is, we have too many right leaning and libertarian types who are saying we should leave Big Tech alone, to do what private enterprise does.

Which is horse hockey. This is national security stuff, and it's so clearly beyond the case that Big Tech is just occupying its share of the market, because they're so good at what they do.

Drop the Free Market worship, people. Your nation has been sold out from under you, to China and other international concerns.

Right? Remember when someone let lose a machine learning AI on twitter a few years back, it was supposed to learn from interacting with people on twitter, and was this big project about how far AI had come.

Then like within a day or two it was saying shit like "Jews control the banks" and "the Holocaust was faked" in response to pretty basic questions it was asked.

It was a pretty funny trolling by 4chan types, to be fair.

But, yeah, AI is programmed by people to get the outcome they want. And they learned they don't want it to learn from random assholes on the internet.

They would rather it learn from Chinese PhDs, apparently.

76 This actually makes sense. If you take it as a given that you want automated censorship on a web platform, you have two choices:
1) Build it
2) Buy it

For a major outfit like Facebook, the clear answer is option #1, because they have scale and user considerations that virtually no other firm does. But this leaves you in a bind - if you're going to build it, you need to know how. This in turn leads to another choice:
1) Build it from scratch
2) Take a shortcut and hire people and partner with firms that already know how to do it.

So if you have automated censorship as a goal and know that the vagaries of your organization mandate something bespoke, then it is entirely sensible to go to the people who are *really* good at it to get help.

That's what Facebook did. Red China has more experience, in terms of both theory and implementation, in automated censorship at scale than any other outfit on this planet.

Russians - especially the middle-aged ones - tend to be *very* good programmers. They came up in a time when computing resources were precious and hard to get and it wasn't uncommon to prepare all the code in advance and be extremely careful with it because you might only get one shot this month to compile and test it. As a result, a lot of Russian programmers of a certain age tend to write extremely efficient, well-optimized and well-behaved software. They're extremely disciplined. Not all of them, of course, but it isn't unusual.

They've long hated the west. And have nothing but contempt for any other nations. (not that they recognize they're separate nations.)

The Chinese are the original bigots and racists. Long before the Whites moved out of the forests. They have always ALWAYS looked at Blacks and most other races as inferior.

And they've made no pretenses to make it seem otherwise.

That they've decided it's okay to infect millions so as to protect their dominance and rise to further control is not something unforeseen.

It's just that too many people believe that everyone else thinks like those folks that are civilized by Western thought and believe in freedom and peoples rights.

That's never been a part of Chinese thought.

210 Speaking of censors, ABC appears to have sold the rights to the entire Charlie Brown series of holiday cartoons. None of them will be shown on network television this year. Instead, Apple( who is suspected of being the buyer) will stream them for free on certain dates, and then charge you to run them through Apple TV.

The Charlie Brown Christmas special has been aired on over the air television for free since 1965. But no more.

It seems to me that they have been out on disc for a while, and if so, purchasing the set would be wise, before the entire catalog disappears. After all, only one of the Peanuts gang is black, there are no Muslims, transgenders or outspoken gays, and they quote the bible in the Christmas series. So I'm sure it will be found in violation of social progress and relegated to the trash can beside Gone with the Wind and other classics.

That was an obscure musical reference, that I can safely assume that no one here got.

In 1959 in Jamaica there was a hit song called "Miss Constance" that was just about the most double-entendre-iest song ever, purportedly about a guy who gets into a footrace against a girl called Miss Constance, but it's actually about how, she, uh, really really enjoys sex.

Still considered an oldie (pre-reggase, pre-ska) "classic" in Jamaica.

In his prime he was a con artist who made a living by duping ordinary folk into thinking he was someone he was not.

I never thought he was funny. Some people like shock "comedy" though.

Anything he has to say now, one can be sure it's about trying to sell people on the idea that Sasha Baron Cohen is still relevant.

_______________

The "sting" photos of that woman in DM don't look like a 15 year old.

If Cohen was trying to make out that she was 15, why'd he have her made-up and dressed like a 30-year old hooker?

She'd have looked younger if she was in jeans and a t-shirt, with no make-up and without the over-bleached hair.

And that tells you why Joe Biden is running for President. Biden knows damn well his corruption/pedo crap is about to blow up and figures running protects him and fam from prosecution.
Obama wanted Kamalama in the office but she was toxic and repulsive and the voters hated her. Oblabo said make it happen, Joe jumps in to the race with the agreement that she will be VP and then he will step down. DNC rig everything so he wins the nomination and we are off to the races. If Harris appears to be the VP candidate she only has to debate Pence once rather that Trump 3 times. Its the only way she gets in the big chair.

1. It's true that current "AI" is a bag of machine learning tricks that imitate one or two things that the nervous system does at a low level. It's important to realize what it is and isn't, and understand the limitations. (OTOH, these algorithms can do very interesting things with image recognition, scene segmentation, that classical algorithms couldn't by any stretch. That isn't peanuts. Automated sentries are one application.)

2. However, while consciousness is perhaps the most complicated thing by orders of magnitude in nature, it exists in nature, and therefore we already know it's possible. (Unlike, say, the warp drive, or D-T fusion reactors below a certain very large minimum viable size.) (Yes, one of these is unknown physics, one of these is engineering.)

Just about everything that exists can be reverse engineered and engineered with the right tools, provided we learn what we are doing. I'd say it's only a matter of time, and if we can keep from compulsively doing disasterously evil and stupid things along the way, it'll be an era-making adventure learning how the mind works.

Thank you Fen, 55 years ago, when I and my classmates were watching the Peanuts specials before holidays, we were not trying to determine who was gay, transgender, etc. We all knew the dumb nice kid you could take advantage of, his smart, not attractive friend, his sister who was a nasty crab to everyone, the kid that was always a slob, and the kid with the perfect hair and talent . The Peanuts were recognizable as familiar and their adventures made us think about how we could be kind, how we did dumb things or were mean to people.

The Peanuts gang had virtue and sensibilities, with things turning out well in the end. They taught lessons , not unlike parables.

They are very much needed today.

358 210 Speaking of censors, ABC appears to have sold the rights to the entire Charlie Brown series of holiday cartoons. None of them will be shown on network television this year. Instead, Apple( who is suspected of being the buyer) will stream them for free on certain dates, and then charge you to run them through Apple TV.

The Charlie Brown Christmas special has been aired on over the air television for free since 1965. But no more.

It seems to me that they have been out on disc for a while, and if so, purchasing the set would be wise, before the entire catalog disappears. After all, only one of the Peanuts gang is black, there are no Muslims, transgenders or outspoken gays, and they quote the bible in the Christmas series. So I'm sure it will be found in violation of social progress and relegated to the trash can beside Gone with the Wind and other classics.

366 It's time for laws. Platform vs. Publisher isn't nearly strong enough: https://humanevents.com/2019/06/07/the-section-230-illusion/

These platforms are so large and powerful that we need to legislate social platforms above a certain size into communications platforms with legal duty to ensure good faith freedom of expression with perhaps a set of very clearly defined and limited exceptions, like pornography and actual incitement to violence. Perhaps a public utility model is applicable.

Freedom of expression is an American value. The threat the framers could imagine to that value is masses pulling on the levers of Government. The masses pulling the levers on communication space was not something they could fathom and we'd better get on it quickly.

If Twitter wants to do this, they can do it without corporation.

If you want an H1B because they bring something really worth having to the table (that's the point of H1Bs), then you won't blink if you have to pay him 120% of your firm's median salary for that job title and description.

Judge Rules Against Trump H-1B Visa Ban: President Is Not A Monarch

In a closely watched case on the limits of presidential authority over immigration, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's June 2020 proclamation that suspended the entry of foreign nationals on H-1B, L-1, H-2B and most J-1 temporary visas. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White ruled the president does not possess the power of a monarch to cast aside immigration laws passed by Congress.

Whenever something unintelligible is said on an intercom or some other device designed to project sound, and someone asks what was said, I immediately say "It's the teachers from Peanuts."

Instantly, people around go "wah-wah, wah-wah-wah-wah..."

404 Go to lunch anywhere in Mountain View, Sunnyvale or Palo Alto and chances are you're going to be sitting with nothing but Indians or Chinese. You won't hear a word of English. I've gotten kind of numb to it. So it's no surprise that the tech companies aren't going to reflect middle American in any way, shape or form.

They couldn't even if they wanted to, because they have a weird impression of where "Middle America" is. In the video of the internal Google meeting after the 2016 election, one employee asked their HR queen whether their shock and surprise is because they were disconnected from large numbers of their customers due to their concentration on the coasts and not understanding the needs, expectations and beliefs of the rest.

It was a fair question. The HR queen answered it with something like "We aren't just on the coasts at all. We have major operations in Ann Arbor, MI and Boulder, CO."

407 This story is unbelievable...read to the end.

A kosher cafe in Brooklyn was cited on October 20 for keeping its doors open.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, the owner of the Mixed Greens Kosher Cafe can be seen arguing with an alleged inspector about being given a summons.

There's video of the interaction with the 'inspector'.

If you want to hear the most horrifying stories listen to the Chinese
guy who worked for the Chinese government in their organ harvesting
program. He escaped China and told people how they were harvesting
people's organs while they were still alive without any anesthesia. They
would just cut out organs and eyes until the person on the table died.

-------------

I doubt this is accurate. You would want them dead first, so their thrashing does not cause you to damage the organs.

How much does Rudy sue Borat for since he committed a misdemeanor in NY? Or does Rudy own it saying yeah, I would have banged a hot 24 year old if she was down?

I swear we are ruled by Satanic Retarded Pedophiles.

"Reform".

Screw that. Blow the whole thing up, start from scratch.
Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at October 21, 2020 04:20 PM (3DJkT)


A modest proposal: require companies to pay a hefty surcharge for H1Bs so that the companies do not benefit financially from paying them less. Do you really need this guy from India, or wherever, and cannot find an American for this? OK, you pay the government a 50% surcharge on his salary, to be devoted to training Americans to do this same job.

Not that it matters but he, like Mabe Galor, are lawyers connected to DC.

Their very livelihood are dependent upon an ever-increasing cancerous State.

They are statists bootlicks. They are the fauna of the Swamp. They are the fascists the Left claims as the character of the Right.
