A computer might someday be able to beat a Spassky or a Fischer,
comparatively simple tasks for AI, but IMHO, humans are hands-down the best
computers when it comes to the complexity of human interactions and
specifically, facial recognition. 

We’ve got our blind spots, no doubt.  “All Chinese look alike”.  Substitute any
other ethnic class and give me an ignorant xenophobe and our human
recognition fails. 

The problem isn’t that we can’t build computers that someday might be up to
the task.  The problem is that humans assigned to the task are poorly
educated. It would be a lot cheaper to train a corps of humans to do it right
than to program one massively complex computer to do the same thing.

Americans are an exceptional people no doubt, but not so exceptional that we
can continue to prosper in the international arena in the coming decades if we
blissfuly persist in our ignorance.  And ask yourself, “Since so many other
nations consider themselves “exceptional” how confident can we be that we are
truly different, truly better or more deserving?”

We need to grow up as a People, stop hiding behind our Founding Fathers and the natural resources that brought us such great wealth in the 19th Century.  These were not God-given rights awarded to an exceptional people. 

They were accidents of history. Unless we can learn to behave in ways that show
we deserve those gifts, we deserve to be relegated to second place.

We need to work smarter.  I am pessimistic that we have the National will to do it.

God help us.

You think blacks have something to complain about…
These Carly Fiorina legacy computers are programmed to make fart sounds when a progressive face is detected, and to spray with monkey urine the faces of people with Obama buttons.

LOL… I hear ya’ Desi, I bought one too!  What the hey?... or is it, “What the hay?”....  Truthfully, I don’t know.

Either way, what’s up with that “non-recognition”?  Whoa… that’s not legit, that is bad, bad, bad, “politics”.... you know what I’m sayin’.  OUCH.  It happens to the best of us….. but, this can be amended…. Right?

Good catch! or is it ketch?  Wait…. is it catsup or ketchup?  Did you say tomato and I said tomato? (Ohhh…that last one doesn’t work so well in print).... huh….?

Clearly dark skinned people weren’t involved in creating this software. I wonder how dark you have to be to be ignored by the camera?

Maybe the white folks that run HP think black people
don’t use computers. http://theunpeople.blogspot.com/
