This is the true power of automation. Without the human element it is much easier to advance a racist agenda and enact racist policies.

there was fucking wild story i saw on science twitter ~~(can't find it again though, maybe it was revealed to me in a dream for now level of trustworthiness)~~, that some presenting woman image was enhanced with subtle horniness via ai upscale, so we get objectification for a price one as well

**Found it

Also credit scores don't correlate to income

Lots of high income people are in hella credit card debt and lots of low income people are very careful of their credit score because they need every little financial advantage they can get

My credit score is like 800 something and I have all of $500 to my name lmao

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Impressive, I only paid with credit cards, never missed any payments for years and hovered low 700s the entire time until I was late on one payment and I dropped almost 100 points when I checked 3 months later lmao
