It's really simple.ChromeWhich browser are you using? Chrome? Firefox? Internet Explorer?I have no idea what that is or how to do that.Clear your browsing data...........I've noticed lately that if I search for an insulting meme for a particularly obnoxious poster, what pops up is insults against liberals, or women, or whatever. It's not my wording--I've tried changing that around and it doesn't matter.
My question is, why does Google think that? Is it solely because I hang out at USMB or does it actually see all the nasty memes and links that are in the posts here that I read? That doesn't really make sense, but how else would it think that?

Maybe well named knows. He posted a computer-ish OP yesterday that I believe was somewhat down this road.
Google is adjusting for the preponderance of searches, not just yours. I'd say it means that the Russian troll farms are working overtime in the run-up to the election.

Marion, I am telling you, and Crepitus is telling you, and well named just told you, that Google algorithms, at least for insult memes, are skewed right. I don't know about news. I still seem to get reliable sources when I google current events.I've noticed lately that if I search for an insulting meme for a particularly obnoxious poster, what pops up is insults against liberals, or women, or whatever.

Oh! Hoisted on the own petard of not her doing!
I'm sorry OldLady.
Yeah, I'll leave it there because..well..you know what's coming into my mind next.
Google algorithms have been skewed left since 2011.

I can't speak computer. I know where the "On" button is; that's about it. So don't expect anything I say on this subject to be accurate, or for me to understand any of the nuances of what you say about it.It's not clear to me that the algorithms are skewed right in any particularly problematic way. It seems more likely that the population of memes being sampled by the algorithm is just right-leaning, and the algorithm represents that reasonably accurately. But it would take a lot more data and better methods to really draw any strong conclusions either way. That's why I said I was just making an (educated?) guess.
The thread I started yesterday (which you mentioned above) was all about the idea that the biases are already there, and machine learning datasets are simply capturing it, rather than that algorithms are creating it from nothing.

Don't worry, Aunt Flo is right around the corner.

What a novel idea. I never thought of that.Crazy idea here... But if ones aim is to insult a poster... Why not simply refute their claims with facts; rather than try to find some cardboard cutout to do your talking for you...?

Thanks, Vastator.

Yeah, I don't get it.
