did you. just get. sewn there basically by the holes. that you had to be mad at them. for example predictive policing police are using software to predict crime a lot of lawmakers are excited about this you put a bunch of data into an algorithm and it tells you where to put the police but predictive policing is just a racist self-fulfilling prophecy because the algorithm goes wow there was a lot of crime in the neighborhood let's put more police there but in fact there was crime scene in that neighborhood because it was a poor black neighborhood and the world a lot of cops there are already looking for people to arrest and guess what when cobb stand around a neighborhood doing nothing but scratch and they're looking for someone who already has they find someone to arrest that's. what people

white people smoke weed at the same rate as blacks but black people get arrested a lot more for it because the cops are targeting them and are positioning themselves in those neighborhoods as data analyst kathy o'neill said in her book about algorithms they are nothing more than opinions imbedded in code except that doesn't stop officials from pointing to these algorithms are going it's completely objective computers can't be biased that tell that to my time to my digital therapist are right every time i bring up my fear of intimacy he yells the truth. algorithms are corrupted with our biases for example in many states they now use secretive algorithms to determine whether people get a longer prison sentence for a crime due to being high risk of committing future crimes. but the data points

that make up the so called the high risk are already prejudiced here's some of the questions from the actual questionnaire created by northpoint inc which makes the risk assessment algorithm if you lived with both parents and they separated how old were you when they did was your father or mother ever arrested were your brothers or sisters ever arrested did a parent have a drug or alcohol problem well some of these things are more likely if you're poor so basically if you're kept basically kept in jail for being poor and be alcohol problems could you imagine being kept in jail a year longer because your mom had a cabernet is jew. hate it isn't that against the law to hold someone in prison because of something someone else did. gaza draw you in jail. number ninety seven just how much do you agree or disagree with the following you

feel unhappy at the time. i am currently in prison about to go before a judge and every day i poop in front of thirty other guys. if i didn't say i'm unhappy most of the time wouldn't that make me a psychopath. ok these next four questions this isn't some sort of guantanamo tortures this is i'm not getting there they're over they've already asked on the questionnaire whether you ever feel bored or right number ninety nine how much do you agree with the following you are often restless or bored number one hundred do you often become bored with the usual activities number one on one do you often feel that the things you are doing are boring adult number one zero two is it difficult for you to keep your mind on one thing for a long time yes yes i'm bored all right. thank you that's

a part of by god. if they did this survey designed to drive yourself nuts you just stabbed a lawyer in the leg kick over the table and then they're like well you got to keep him in jail. just as the lawyer. number thirty six many people get in trouble or use drugs because society has given them no education job or future how much do you agree or disagree that's just a true statement all right but if you answer it correctly you're probably at a greater risk of staying in prison kind of like when you're in third grade if you say columbus was a genocidal maniac you don't get a good grade on this. sometimes the right answer his the wrong answer. and finalists agree had someone or i have something. no no. i never felt angry. because they said they were it's the brilliance of the rhythm of making

this decision brandt frys is the president of into re the company that developed one of the state algorithms knocking people off their health care that they desperately need when shown in court that his algorithm was completely screwing up and thereby destroying lives he says quote you're going to have to trust me that a bunch of smart people determined this is the smart way to do it. here's me to surprise you yet some condescending quad face dripping out your nose right there is this just a little on top of this the victims of all these algorithms often find it impossible to get access to what the math is behind them they can't even tell that they can fight against them kathy o'neill the data analyst i mentioned earlier she tried to find a code for an algorithm that was getting new york city teachers fired for poor performance she found. that not even new york city administrators knew what made up the

algorithm they were using because with the wisconsin company that created wouldn't reveal how it worked this is like if you go to a performance review your boss opens up a fortune cookie and goes. has your fire. in bad. i guess i'll just. i guess i'll just have to quit my complaining if we tested algorithms and they work really well well pro publica looked into that criminal recidivism risk assessment we have tain the risk or is assigned to more than seven thousand people and check to see how many were charged with new crimes over the next two years only twenty percent of the people predicted to commit violent crimes actually went on to do so when a full range of crimes were taken into account the algorithm was somewhat more

accurate than a coin flip. leave more accurate than the flip of a cool one yet it's being used to keep people in jail ruining their lives but at least it wasn't racist right funny you should ask the formula was particularly likely to falsely flag black defendants as future criminals wrongly labeling them this way almost twice the rate as white defendants you know a lot of people used to say they want to be lovely in our high tech future when computers take over and there will be no prejudice no racism nope. we just made the computers racists. hope that doesn't also mean they're going to take the other jobs like masturbating on the subway you know that. we thought that was safe. but don't worry it gets worse our military uses an algorithm in their skynet pro. graham to decide who should be on the terrorism kill list and as the

guardian reported overall the n.s.a. machine learning algorithm uses more than eighty different properties to rate people on their terrorist genius this guy matt gets it wrong you could find yourself on the receiving end of a hellfire missile dispatched by a predator or reaper drone hope i'm not acting to terrorist david. you're going to hurt to have a box company maybe i'll leave my box cutter at home to. the article goes on algorithms increasingly rule our lives it's a small step from applying skynet logic to look for terrorists in pakistan to applying the same logic domestically to look for drug dealers or protestors or just people who disagree with the state and here's the larger point that you probably won't hear elsewhere algorithms could be used to do the most amazing things and truly change the world for the better they can be used to find out how many of fish

a community can eat without overfishing their waters how much c o two we can release or water that we can use it with we could analyze how many cops really have to be on the streets and what kind of reward punishment system would help them stop committing acts of brutality and aggression but instead of. his own money interests who benefit by kicking people off of health care bombing foreign lands firing teachers and keeping people in jail as long as possible the market system is it omnipresent beast that only seeks profit and protection all of the system like in terminator when the robots were working as a group of mind to destroy the humans who fought against the system and what were the what was in their artificial intelligence called and terminate. or guy that it

was guy that he thought that. was. was. a thank you. thank you welcome i'm late candela take the news from behind warmonger john bolton there has been shows in a no not a fan has been so. trumps national security advisor this is the same guy who for years has pushed for bombing iran bombing north korea bombing syria of course bombing iraq and afghanistan pakistan and yemen and actually since this is only a half hour show i'm going to say that countries he hasn't said that we should.

lichtenstein. yeah never said we should buy them although he once recommended quote crushing economic sanctions on them that would turn their children to dust. i made that up but he probably thought it was probably good point is john bolton is one of the biggest men he acts out there he used to only be at home on fox news but now his opinions of bombing everywhere and saying we should hang whistleblowers from the trees those opinions would fit nicely at c.n.n. am as a paid be on the disney channel nickel. the cooking channel. so while the would be war criminals get promoted the battle against those who reveal war crimes continues act would door has cut off julian assange internet access one

of his only remaining channels to the outside world this is probably due to pressure from the us saying as everyone from hillary clinton to my palm peo to john bolton has said assad should be drone bombed for the unforgivable crime of revealing the truth which ironically is also what we owe. x. . doing a wonderful job. are our military afraid to see. the world. and i can't get out of thinking of the world a new report by the intergovernmental science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services jesus that's a title my god isn't business cards was really a foot long they said over seventy five percent of the earth's soil surface has

been. i mean maybe that use the word but. according to. the world's first evidence based assessment of the state of the planet's land health more than seventy five percent of the earth's soil surface has substantially degraded putting the well being of some three point two billion people at risk it's only three point two billion why we've been talking about. that's like less than half. i use the same analysis with my children all right if less than half are at risk of death and all is well. since i don't have any kids it makes the math easier . also breaking this week microsoft is now banning offensive language on all of its platforms microsoft is warning customers using office x.-box skype and cetera that content involving for example nudity yalla be pornography offensive language graphic violence or criminal activity. did

you honestly say you're banning nudity on skype. what is your eighty percent ascribes business model in cyber sacks or what do you think we were talking to each other all this time. no offensive language on x. box. last i checked every single popular game on x. box had to do with like killing hookers in a back alley or shooting at people you don't understand in the streets of kabul so you are saying that's fine. no worry you can still murder people on our video games you just can't yell dirty while you do it. if you go to a quick break but you get exclusive content every week just text the word redacted to four four four nine nine nine it's free and quick and sign you up our e-mail list what.

makes this. off her who is writing extensively on environmental issues and social justice issues went to these conferences and quite a rake and her takeaway was that a bunch of people of showed up and this is a danger to the local economy and to the local fabric of society so the first thing that strikes me is that left like they owe me feel they have a monopoly on good intentions i'm not sure where that comes from. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like us is nobody who visitation i don't know one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what

they want to. own they don't give a damn if you do the chores a month. to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what secrets is behind such success. yes scotland yard did not look for the perpetrators they were covering their tracks months little dears dear dearest year the year they were free didn't russia will find out who did it and personal i think it was ukraine who did that. ukraine would you once russia to clash with the rest of the world. in a major city like washington d.c.

we're fortunate to be within a stone's throw of a local hospital at all times while in rome. america a local hospital is about as close as you know. right now. but despite the fact rural hospitals are literally the only game in their town they're still in danger of closing their doors and their owners are desperately looking for people to buy them but there's something fishy going on with the sale of these hospitals for more on this we turn to our senior med school dropout now immature. was what's going on here really well eighty three world hospitals closing in the last eight years i've decided to do my part to solve this problem in my rural hospital in colorado even though the hospital's only doctor is moving in on our territory but i think she'll come around pretty sure that's dr quinn medicine woman

was. exactly as her judgment over yours i mean of your own. no but scott pruitt runs the e.p.a. in the cold. and if not same type of confidence that didn't stop a florida toxicology lab owner named aaron drawl from buying a rural georgia hospital team million dollars and he was to designed to keep these hospitals alive. is a lot like fraud no real fraud is when i told the hospital i thought that i'm beyond say and then. they'd be too white to know the difference on sales. and a side note they were. but what this florida man and others are doing is creating a solid financial investment just like another florida man whose private company took over missouri's putnam county memorial hospital in two thousand and sixteen after he sent bills from other labs to that rural hospital it received more than

ninety million dollars in insurance payments for lab work conducted at other hospitals around the country. this method of these florida men are solving the world's hospital crisis by using their millions to buy other guy in rural hospitals and we should be grateful considering the average florida man would have used his money i think with a gun in its mouth. either. like it but i'm going to grateful that this scheme is just another example of our country's broken for profit health system.
