Well we could have trained the AI what genocide looks like, but the YT AI was busy taking down the videos uploaded trying to show the world what was happening when nations turn on their own people.
People keep making demands that tech 'nerd harder' & that magically they will manage to make a leap that should take 100 years to reach... and the nerds try to do it, fail miserably and the people demanding they nerd harder pretend its super simple they just don't want to.
Facebook is a business (Metaverse... AYFKM?)
People demand more & more from Facebook that they do not demand from other businesses.
We have laws making it a crime for people to report on shortcuts & outright evil acts in the processing of our food and I'm pretty sure we've had way more illness & death from that then Facebook's AI missing a cockfight.
Oil leak detected in a pipe, they didn't shut it down for hours increasing the spillage, then lied about how long it was leaking & how much could have been dumped. But FB missed a slur in another language & that gets Congress in a bunch.
Families in housing on military bases are forced to live in substandard, dangerous housing. Way to repay our troops, giving their families medical problems because saving a couple bucks ignoring the leak that created the black mold helped their bottom line.
Yes there is a problem on FB, but FB isn't creating it out of thin air... humanity is a bunch of fucked up people, thinking and posting horrible things. Yes FB should do better, but pretending that the users aren't throwing endless amounts of shit at other people's walls hoping some of it sticks makes it impossible for FB to do anything that pleases anyone.
The AI was programmed with a simple premise, if they show interest in A they might also like D E or F. The AI nudges them, offers up more things because they then liked 2 things from F, which branches again, and somehow we are at a page promoting Jewish Space Lasers.
No one told the AI that humans are stupid, racist, xenophobic, & sometimes are just generally evil to people not just like them.
Even the BEST AIs today are retarded. (Oh noes a bad word)
Its not even something like 50% as good as a human making decisions, yet we all pretend AI can be all seeing all knowing just like in the scifi movies/tv.
Yes the Breast Cancer AI has great success at flagging images for humans to review, but the only dataset involved is images of tits & spots that turned cancerous. There are only 2 possible outcomes... I don't see cancer & I think I see cancer please check these images.
But we can't pretend another AI can be as effective when there are literally 100's of ways to see things & the connotation taken away by many sometimes isn't the denotation intended.
If we want FB to have a perfect system, they just need to hire everyone on the planet. Let each half watch the other half. Yep native speakers of Japanese might miss some meanings that might offend those in the US, but the error rate would be on par with the AI they use now... maybe even slightly better but never the perfect utopia people imagine it could be... if they just nerd harder.
椅子 is a 'crime' in China, its also a word common in catalogs selling furniture. (Chair)
維尼熊 gets you a trip to a reeducation camp for insulting the leader... Pity you were just posting photos of your trip to EuroDisney & your children hugging Winnie the Pooh.
They can keep trying to train AI's, but they literally need to code 1000's of AI's with information from every nation, faction, etc to train them with then get that system to sign off on every single post made so that no one ever gets offended or mad...

"They aren’t making a contribution to the services they are being carried on; that doesn’t feel right." "
It doesn't feel right that you run a corporation with piss poor customer service, yet here we are.
""Every Tbps (terabit-per-second) of data consumed over and above current levels costs about £50m,”"
Who the fsck are you buying bandwidth from??? Comcast?
Those numbers feel high... please show your work.
Once again the whole "they get a free ride!!!"
So you are willing to pay any one of those freeloaders bandwidth bills for a month right?
Remember if you say no, it raises questions about about how stupid you think we are.
You contracted to provide internet service to your customers.
It doesn't matter where/who/what they are requesting data from.
Sorry if instead of preparing for more demand from consumers you gave yourself another bonus & now you can't have as much of a bonus as you're having to deal with increased demand.
I'm sure the pandemic messed up your plan for larger & larger bonuses... but... that's sort of the job you've been ignoring for years & your chicken has come home to roost.
Lets lay out your argument in different terms, so then maybe you might understand how fscking stupid you sound.
You own a toll road.
Something diverts more drivers onto your toll road.
All the drivers are paying the toll.
You had to hire more toll takers & have the road maintained more.
Rather than accept that your profit from tolls dropped with this new surge in paying drivers, you sent a letter to the big 3 car makers demanding they compensate you for more drivers using your toll road... that they pay the toll for... because the car makers are getting a free ride.
Do you smell burnt toast?
Cause I'm thinking the only explanation for your statement is brain damage... that or pure greed driven by the "outrage" over tech companies making more money than you are... when all you do is provide the road people drive on & pay you a toll already to use it.

It would be nice, but never going to happen, that we started including sunset clauses in new laws... so that when the law doesn't do what it was promised it would do it can just end itself.
They would have to make efforts to keep it alive & well in civil asset forfeiture that would mean publishing all of the data & well since it never takes out the drug lords in supercars they told us it would and instead is robbing people based on nothing more than they had a car we could get a couple bucks from & some money in their pocket.

They will NEVER build a unified platform, it might mean making 50 cents less.
Each of them will reinvent the streaming wheel & website, often with really stupid decisions (UltraViolet anyone?) being made to keep control & actually punish the people who want to pay them.
That thing where the sportsball streaming service could include having to ride a sandpaper dildo while watching it & consumers wouldn't even flinch because its not as bad as having Comcast & no stupid commercials (or 90% screen take overs) threatening blackouts of channels you didn't even know you had.

It would be nice if evidence was actually required before they did these things, but we can't have that.
Instead society has to pay the bill to create a system that will always be flawed & the legalized extortion still moving through the courts.

And our entrenched "leaders" like it this way.
They warn those who aren't hurting that much, that those much worse off are coming to take from them. That if they are allowed to move upwards it will be at the cost of others, and we can't allow that.
Society has maskholes saying that mandates are the devil for the vaccine, because the government shouldn't be involved in making a medical choice for people... while standing outside an abortion clinic demanding abortion be outlawed completely.
People are more focused on non-issues they think matter, while ignoring the huge gulf in inequality at every level. They cling to what they have like its pie, that if someone gets more it takes a piece from them. How else can you explain people making $50K a year being upset that we might tax people making $500K a year $3 more, it would benefit everyone but they've been warned that their pie will be sliced and given away to those beneath them ignoring that billionaires paying the same rate as the rest of us would make things better for everyone without having to take away from them.
