Comment on AI Seeks Out Racist Language in Property Deeds for Termination

So, what? They’re going to pay a human to OK the output and the whole lot of them never even gets seen?

Say 12 minutes per covenant, that’s 1 million work hours that humans could get paid for. Pay them $50 an hour and it’s $50 million. That’s nothing, less than 36 hours worth of the $12.5 Billion in weapons shipments we’ve sent to Israel in the last year. We could pay for projects like this with the rounding errors on the budget for blowing up foreign kids, and the people we pay to do it could afford to put their kids through college.

Instead, we get a project to train a robotic bigotry filter for real estate legalese and 50 more cruise missiles from the savings.

I think you are confused about the delineation between local and federal governments. It’s not all one giant pool of tax money.

  I am not, I simply don’t believe the delineation is relevant since taxpayers fund both the state and federal budgets.
  
  Also, this feels like you are too capitalism-pilled
  
  This is me being “reasonable” and working within the constraints of the system. If we aren’t going to have free universal college et al then we can at least trade some of the bloated military budget for a public works program.
  
  People would seriously read through them for 1 day, and then they’d be like, “clear”, “clear”, “clear” without looking at half of them.
  
  Sounds to me like a 50% improvement over zero human eyes.
  
  It’s not like you’re gonna find and fund another group to review the first group’s work, after all.
  
  Why not? We could hire three teams to do it simultaneously in every state in the country and the cost would still be a tiny fraction of how much was wasted on the F-35 program.

    It certainly would be. Thankfully, there’s many more than zero human eyes involved in this.
