TwinIon Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Personally, I enjoyed these headlines from the hearing: Sundar Pichai had to explain to Congress why Googling ‘idiot’ turns up pictures of Trump Google’s CEO had to remind Congress that Google doesn’t make iPhones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 All i've gotten from this is that congress is a bunch of old people that don't have a clue how the internet works, and nothing has changed in 12 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I was quick to laugh and hop on the "let's point at old white people legislate that which they don't understand"-train. But if you watch the clips, with a little bit more context that is removed in the tweets, they're not THAT bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you watch the clips, with a little bit more context that is removed in the tweets, they're not THAT bad. Yeah, I was looking at The Verge, and the 'idiot' one made some sense. Quote The question came from Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who was trying to refute the idea that Google is politically manipulating search results. “Right now, if you google the word ‘idiot’ under images, a picture of Donald Trump comes up. I just did that,” she said. “How would that happen?” Pichai offered a long, general explanation of how Google search works: "Any time you type in a keyword, as Google we have gone out and crawled and stored copies of billions of [websites’] pages in our index. And we take the keyword and match it against their pages and rank them based on over 200 signals — things like relevance, freshness, popularity, how other people are using it. And based on that, at any given time, we try to rank and find the best search results for that query. And then we evaluate them with external raters, and they evaluate it to objective guidelines. And that’s how we make sure the process is working." “So it’s not some little man sitting behind the curtain figuring out what we’re going to show the user?” Lofgren asked sarcastically. Headlines make it sound as if a GOP congresswoman wanted to know why Google was mean to Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
