A white woman in San Francisco calls the police on an 8 year old black girl selling water bottles outside her apartment building. She does this because the girl has ‘no permit’.
“Now known virally as #PermitPatty, Ettel has two master’s degrees, one in urban planning, owns a medical marijuana business, was an equity trader and was a Brookings Institution researcher.”
Could this be more stereotypical? She owns a business that was legitimized only in the past couple of years to the exclusion of every Black person rotting away in prison who made money the same way. I could scream.
Latest addition to Memo Akten’s ongoing ‘Learning to See’ project demonstrates a neural network powered realtime image translation framework, presenting possibilites for visual poetry:
A pre-trained deep neural network making predictions on live camera
input, trying to make sense of what it sees, in context of what it’s
seen before. It can see only what it already knows, just like us.
