Lauren Oakden-Rayner @DrLaurenORWe performed many experiments to work out how it does this, but couldn't pin it down. This is the most ridiculous figure I have ever seen. AI can detect race from images filtered so heavily they are just blank grey squares!

i get why hes this excited though. an academic could make a career out of a finding like this. suddenly your the guy who finds out why something is Racist. discovers a whole new form of Racism. they even name it after you. Oakden-Rayner Racism boom. funding set for life

this would hands down be the funniest explanation in the context of the hysterical tone in the original thread. maybe he wouldnt have learned anything about neural nets, x-rays, or racism. but he would have delivered a master class in bathoshttps://twitter.com/MonarchyReload1/status/1422445427362721794?s=19 …

𝘿𝙔𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙋𝙄𝘼 𝙍𝙀𝙁𝙐𝙂𝙀𝙀 @MonarchyReload1I interpreted HPF100 to mean a high pass filter taken to the 100th percentile, at which point the square is filled completely with neutral gray. It doesn't pass the smell test to say the AI is 'detecting race
' from a gray box. No, that means you're doing something wrong lmao. https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1422443096004980736 …5 replies 3 retweets 108 likesShow this thread -

Two thoughts: Pretty sure anthropologists can identify race from a skeleton. If medics can't from an xray then that's just because they've never had to - they generally already know. I bet if they practiced they could.

Human anatomy is surprisingly variable. https://www.anatomyatlases.org/AnatomicVariants/SkeletalSystem/Text/NumericalVariation.shtml … Only 20% of people have the "official" number of vertebrae.

Plantaris muscle is absent in 5%-8% of people. https://www.anatomyatlases.org/AnatomicVariants/MuscularSystem/Text/P/29Plantaris.shtml … I only know the muscle exists because it bloody well hurts if you strain it.

If I randomly chose two skeletons, one from Vietnam and the other from Kenya, how likely it is that with NO MEDICAL TRAINING you could tell me which was which?

Well this is a self-own for me. I set a trap, but am hoist by my own petard: I thought Kenyans were very tall but apparently they are only about an inch taller than Vietnamese, per Wikipedia.

ooooh I see I had somewhat wondered if you were going for that but then I considered that I wouldnt have any idea whether the shorter one were full grown or not im not even sure whether I know how to translate skeleton size to height beyond rough rough estimates
