content: The thing most people don't really get about this isn't that this is some kind of coverup or anything. I guess it kinda is, but the conspiracy theorists are going to think there is a conspiracy against their pet conspiracy. But, no, there is a different model in play here. Youtube videos are a major source of feed for AI. Remember Tay? Tay was funny as fuck and I miss her everyday. But, she went off the reservation because she was being fed a certain kind of data and that data informed her personality. Now, consider, you are Google and you are trying to teach AI to be adaptive in multiple situations. Maybe one of those situations is that you want it to have a good model of geography for self-driving cars. A shit-posting racist Twitter bot is one thing. That's funny. But, you know what isn't funny? Sitting in a self-driving car which is schizophrenic and thinks the world is flat, so it cant figure out how to plot a course to it's destination. And the next thing you know, BAM, the car hit some dude with curly side burns and a black hat and a hook-nose because Jews did 9/11. Yes, there is a conspiracy going on. It's not exactly what the conspiracy theorist think. You don't want Tay driving your car.
