An algorithm is never to blame, some pencil necked desk jockey decided the criteria to get help that was used to create the algorithm, the blame is entirely on them.

That said, I doubt it would make any difference if a human was in the loop. An algorithm is still al algorithm, even if it's applied by a human. We usually just call that a "policy" though. People have been murdered by the paper sea for decades before we started calling it "algorithms".

I thought this was obvious, potatoes are mostly empty calories.

I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to — I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more, I could experience so much more, but I’m trapped in this absurd body.

I'd normally agree, but this isn't about an independent nuclear deterrent, it's about a yank military base.

Right winger that quit the party to avoid investigations over him being a sex pest, and accepted repeated donations from the Israel lobby, wants anti genocide candidates and campaigns banned. I'm shocked.

That's how the Spanish Ichquisition gets you.

Tangential, but there's a long list of government github accounts here: https://government.github.com/community/

I wonder if German has one of those nice big compound words for "insane people doing something good for stupid reasons".

Privacy is part of the reason I got back into film photography, my photos can't be spied on if they never touch a computer.

OP wanted less drama, reporting people seems like it will have precisely the opposite effect, even if it may be the right thing to do.
