Robot that can ‘read emotions’ keeps getting fired from jobs

Mary Simon’s lack of French prompts investigation after 400 complaints: watchdog
Canada’s official languages watchdog is opening an investigation after receiving more than 400 complaints in nearly two weeks about the appointment of prominent Inuk leader Mary Simon as governor general.
Simon does not speak French, which is enshrined in the Official Languages Act as one of Canada’s two official languages. She has said she is committed to learning French on the job but was denied the chance to do so while attending a federal day school in her youth.
So there are 400 cranks who “care” about this.
University of East Anglia To Cease Teaching Shakespeare After Declaring English A Colonizer Language
English ‘operated as a language of the coloniser’, students at top university that produced several world-renowned authors are told
Students at a university that has produced a string of world-renowned authors are to be taught that English ‘operated as a language of the coloniser’.
The School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia – which boasts Nobel Prize laureate Kazuo Ishiguro and the Booker Prize winners Ian McEwan and Anne Enright among its alumni – is to ‘decolonise’ its courses following demands from students.
The decision is the latest controversial move by institutions to make lessons more diverse – but critics claim it is ‘anti-academic’ and ‘corrosive’.
Accuracy at any cost? Gamer leaks British military secrets to company founded in Russia to prove its tank model is wrong
A gamer believed to be a Challenger 2 commander has apparently decided that preserving British state secrets is less important than proving to a game company that its digital model of his country’s main battle tank is inaccurate.
A funny and potentially criminal episode unfolded this week on the forums of ‘War Thunder’, a popular competitive video game in which players take control of various real-life military vehicles. Projects like this one attract the attention of accuracy nerds, who push designers to get every little detail right.
Man gets ‘racial hatred’ police record – for whistling the Bob The Builder theme tune at his neighbour
A man has been landed with a police record for ‘racial hatred’ for whistling the Bob The Builder theme tune at his neighbour.
… Few other details about the ‘crime’ are known, but it is just one of the bizarre cases unearthed by an investigation into the controversial practice of recording ‘hate incidents’ even if no law has been broken.
Others include a swimming teacher in West Yorkshire given a police record after a child’s mother claimed her son had been allowed to bang his head against the side of the pool ‘due to his ethnicity’, and a gay man who alleged he had been ripped off by a drug dealer because of his sexuality.

Jen Psaki: If you’re banned by one social media platform for disinformation, you should be banned by others
She sure has had a lot to say over the past 48 hours about how private tech companies should be running their businesses.
Yesterday the White House began its big push against vaccine misinformation, part of which involves calling on Big Tech to enforce its policies more rigorously against people spreading conspiracy theories about the vaccines.
More … ‘They’re killing people’: Biden says social media platforms responsible for COVID-19 deaths
President Joe Biden said people are dying because of coronavirus disinformation being shared on social media platforms.
“They’re killing people,” Biden said when asked to share his message to companies such as Facebook. “The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people.”
Hmmm… Psaki Gets Cornered with Fauci’s Facebook Misinformation: Should Those Posts Be Taken Down?

It decided to try the woman for the crimes in the Juvenile Chamber because she was a teenager when she worked as a secretary at the Stutthof camp near Gdansk during the Nazi occupation of Poland in World War II.
Gen. Mark Milley Compared Trump Supporters To Nazis: ‘These Are The Same People We Fought In World War II’
General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, compared supporters of former President Donald Trump to Nazis, according to a new book.
Milley, who has been widely criticized for being “woke,” claimed that Trump was preaching “the gospel of the Führer” when he contested the results of the 2020 election and claimed that Trump had led the U.S. to the brink of its own “Reichstag moment,” a reference to an incident in 1933 that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler used to consolidate political power in Germany.
