Just another one of the anomalies from big tech.
Amazon on Tuesday admitted that it made an error with its voice service "Alexa" when it provided fundamentally different answers on why a user should vote for Vice President Kamala Harris versus former President Donald Trump.
Harris answer
"While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country," the voice service said, per Fox.
vs
Trump answer
"I cannot promote content that supports a certain political party or a specific politician," Alexa said when asked about Trump. "Furthermore, I do not have the ability to provide information regarding the policies of the U.S. government. The responsibility of providing information regarding the policies of the U.S. government lies with the government itself."

Those pesky errors
If the errors all land benefitting one side, are they errors?

It's like being in Vegas and see roulette hit on black 312 times in a row and the pit boss just shrugs his shoulders.
Buck was focused on firing his employee that brought his right political leanings to work. He didn’t have time to take the left leaning biased out of Alexa.
Amazon is where spectrum people go to work in tech.
anyone that wants diversity I am immediately against.
Why the fuck do people want diversity? I want a group of people that are similar and can work together
What’s even the case for it? It can’t be because oh it feels right! There must have been some bullshit study or something that shows it helps businesses make money right?
Let me know when you guys have the skillset to get in and make that 300k that recent grads would make. Until then you’re not qualified to comment. Thanks.
Alexa isn’t my problem. A disruptive employee on my team is.
Dang Bob, you really needed me to explain that one to you?
I don't want a pay cut
Bros, I get that a few of you make more than that(and a few of you are lying through your teeth). I get it, that’s not the point.
That total comp puts anyone in the 90th percentile and when you’re talking recent college grads that usually move into those roles, that puts those people into elite territory.
So yes, those people who work there are usually the best and the brightest (minus that dipshit I fired a month ago)
I figured with your intellect that you'd be overseeing a lot of products. Sounds like that isn't the case.
Well Bob while I’m at it, I should see why individual orders in one of our Madrid Fulfillment Centers haven’t been making it to their destinations since apprently you think because a person works at a company they’re involved in all the departments personally.
That post was almost as dumb as EverettChris……almost
When you make the C suite you'll understand.

Buck working at the tech equivalent of Wal-Mart.
Iowa shirt tim ago it was 175k that's a hell of a raise over that span…
Cuck magically got a $125,000 raise and promotion in three weeks.
In a year, he'll be CEO.
I called out this bullshitter from Day One here. Madrid!!
PM on a small team on Amazon's business side.
The real smart people get put on AWS, without which Amazon would be fucked.
tldr version: Buck is a bottom of the barrel peon with a small dick power trip.
