James GleickI’m stumped. As usual, I’m supposed to persuade a robot that I am not a robot. Does the bottom-center square contain a bicycle?
I know what René Magritte would say.
John Baker (El Padrino)@JamesGleick Since that is only a picture of a bicycle, not an actual bicycle you clearly must answer no.
@JamesGleick However, since the issue is not what is true but what the algorithm believes to be true, you clearly must answer yes
@jdbaker237 I agree with your reasoning, on both counts. However, I answered no, and the robot let me through. Several people have suggested that the algorithm allows a certain number of “wrong” answers.
chaircrusher@JamesGleick @jdbaker237 those image tests piss me off because they're hard, particular for my crappy vision. I also resent them making me train their image analysis software for them. Train them yourself, sizzlechest!

At least the Mechanical Turkers get paid for the training data
Albeit at crappy pay rates

In the trolley problem you'd want the self driving car to crash into the signpost and not the human on a bicycle
