In the “SAFIYA NOBLE – Algorithms of Oppression” it mention about that in the algorithms and architectures the very people/ the most successful people are openly using the negative sexist and racist attitude when they are working. And they think that the race with the sex will have more expression of the race. And in the article it show that picture of people googling the phase “Black girls” which the result is so what I expected. The image show the google result of searching “Black girls” is all the sex and the porn stuff at the first top 5 result. And other few image highlight the idea that the color will affect the objective toward a gender. Such as the word Black people implies the negative connotation toward it, and the word white implies the positive connotation when searching “why are white/black woman so” It pop up the different connotation and objective toward the group of people. In my opinion, I think that people should no view the color as different and how bad this group is and that. If we accept the idea that the old society is putting on to people the world will never improve and will grew into war and violent just like how Hitler change Germany the objective toward Jewish. Imagine yourself in this case being the one who being apply all the negative connotation what will you think. When people thinking about the issue we often just focus on will we be the one who benefit from it as the question and the result. But do people think about this question who will be hurt from the outcome of the issue. We should put our view in other’s perspective other than being selfish and turning into “Hitler” what we consider is bad but people often don’t realize that when we spread the word we are doing what Hitler did. So be mindful about our word and though.
 Reading Awayy!!!
Claims of the Internet being racist are ideologically flawed. Technology takes on the characteristics of its creators, and simply because it’s creators are racist, sexist, bias, etc does not mean that the technology itself is. It may simply be applied in a prejudiced manner, not be inherently prejudiced. The paranoid insecurity that the internet is out to get anyone is something that sounds like it belongs in bad scifi to me. Being kinder, it sounds like a normal human response to a dirty truth; that people are prejudiced, and it is scary to admit that the people around you are potentially harmful or dangerous, even if only  just emotionally.
The internet is a tool of connection and by observing the interactions, we can reveal human nature, and in turn use this to capitalize on our fellow man. The basis of data analysis is to find ways of quantifying the reality of a situation. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that people are racist, sexist, etc. Google can only do so much to teach an AI or algorithm to identify and mediate the populations’ mind set and core values. For example, Google’s search engine is designed to find the most relevant information given a topic assumedly. What is most relevant is “found” by algorithmic means, but what “is” most relevant is decided by the human beings that are being observed by said means. This means that the philosophically perfect AI, who does nothing but use its’ capacity to promote its developers’ goals, will be ideologically corrupt…because it is directed by people. Another way of saying this is that if technology built to reveal the answers to human nature were built to be perfectly neutral, they would eventually become bias if they are designed to learn from human behavior and interaction.
The sad fact is that the wealth of human interaction data provided by the internet shows us just how imperfect we are. The technology will never stop being biased unless we stop interacting with it, or all become enlightened overnight. With the reality that the internet reveals to us our darker less admirable natures, is not a surprise that people try and blame the technology for its’ nature when clearly the nature of its’ users dictates the technology. Algorithmic Oppression is simply machines acting like people, and that is unavoidable, since we made the machines. Ideally, we would create an AI that shows us all the path to harmony and nirvana, but that won’t happen. The fact that the technology to reveal just how judgmental, biased, and fickle people actually are exists is a blessing. You can only confront problems that you are aware of.
The writers primary concern was to reveal insight into the historical backdrop of how rhetoric came to be about and how to utilize them recorded as a hard copy through models in the comic. I see that the creator demonstrates that amid the early occasions, individuals did not truly like the prospect of talk and did not grasp it till Aristotle. This leads into the primary concern that rhetoric has been around for a long time and has dependably been a piece of composing. Another primary concern that was found in the comic was that to be powerful at thinking of one must have three components. These segments are ethos,pathos, and logos. I concur with this case because I am also learning the significance behind these terms in another class I am also taking this semester. This can go to demonstrates that I utilized these three segments of composing without knowing the name of them. This demonstrates rhetoric has been around for some ages and that we generally use it involuntarily when we compose. Another point made by the creator is Kairos. Kairos is the planning of your composition. The writer points out that we should ensure that our composing is not hurried or else it probably won’t turn out just as we would anticipate that it should. I concur with this in that I have composed exposition the night prior to the due date and things received a better than average evaluation. Notwithstanding, when you plan out your composition and sort out the entirety of your thoughts on paper, things end up less demanding and the thoughts stream effectively on the paper and the outcome is superior to  something that was hurried. Reporting our work is additionally critical on the grounds that it enables us to return to our work later on and ensure that we did not miss anything in the event that we continued composing. This is another point that was made in the work log. It is dependably a smart thought to assess yourself and thusly you can get your slip-ups quicker.
The most funny page in the graphic in my opinion…
CHECK THIS OUT!!! I am really interested in the technology behind entertainment. Intels new drones are one great example. Watch the vide in the link here to see what I mean. The picture below is one drone. Hundrads of them turn into something much more when they are together.
Working on Week 2 response!!!!!!!
