    We’re not talking about vague hypotheticals. We’re talking about a real incident described in a real lawsuit that occurred in the real world. Please put away your hypotheticals, they have no place here.

    There is zero allegation in the lawsuit filed by the plaintiffs that Meta used a cancer-screening AI. It seems that Meta just tried to get an AI to plan their layoffs, and they fed it data based on past layoffs. Since human beings discriminate against people with disabilities, the AI trained on their work also discriminates against people with disabilities.

    I’m not going to address the tangent you went on. If you want to talk about some other hypothetical scenario, have fun. But I was talking about the real case being discussed here.
