      This is one of those "Why we need the liberal arts" moments.https://twitter.com/frankpasquale/status/878367783217659904 …

      Wow, the researchers behind the "criminal face" study blasted in the post below are not backing down: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.04135.pdf … https://twitter.com/FrankPasquale/status/865569709609156616 …

      Replying to @steuard

      So we have a way to get to false but desirable conclusions when science shamefully insists on revealing distasteful truths?

      It is very easy to make scientific blunders that lead to false conclusions. The liberal arts can warn us about certain classes of those.

      Replying to @steuard @patrissimo

      In this case, awareness of the long history of scientific errors going unexamined when they reinforce existing prejudice could be valuable.

      (@pboothe says that these folks trained their AI on data where criminal photos were mugshots and non-criminal ones were corporate photos.)

      Perhaps this paper, despite bravely publishing heresy, is wrong. But I bet most condemning it do so b/c it's heresy, not b/c it's wrong.

      It is not actually a coincidence that "condemning the heresy" turned out to be right. Many orthodoxies encode valuable heuristics.

      Orthodoxies always encode valuable heuristics. They also always encode out-of-date, largely irrelevant, harmful-today heuristics.

          And yet this one turned out to be entirely relevant and timely. I think your "always" is seriously overstated. (Racism isn't "out-of-date"!)
