I'm white but my name is unusual and foreign looking. I wonder how that plays out?

Well yeah, they were trained off of data with massive racial hiring bias.
Garbage in garbage out.
Yes, this is known as "the point".
Accountability sinks are the point.
That's genious actually, have a company provide an app build on some LLM and provide this as a Saas to its clients. Client does his unethical and criminals activities through the app. If they get caught, they point to the app builder. Once the app builder has too many lawsuits going, they close the company, start a new one, update the name and logo on the app and repeat.
No wonder i don't even get phone interviews anymore
That's not a bug, that's a feature

Unironically, though. The major models are from China and the USA, neither of which are well known for a history of racial harmony.
Am American and white. Was complaining about racism in this country to my Chinese boss. He responded, "what racism? You American. You don't know racism. You have racism here as a hobby. Go to China we show you real racism."
I still don't know how to respond to that, and that was 15-16 years ago.
