I'm never wearing a suit again >.<

<3 Glad you enjoyed it.

FNC fans better hope SK ban sangria tomorrow to deny it from rekkles

Rather, I'd assume that the page is actually under construction, if we wanted it gone it would just be gone.

You can still send in a ticket to see how much you've spent overall. Blitzcrank Bot has been answering these tickets since January.

Nope! I am a ciswoman working out of our LAX office.

So uh.... whoops, you weren't supposed to see anything from Pantheon's update yet. But since it's out there and you're asking, let's quickly talk about his face! There are actually only two times you'll see it in-game: His recall and death animations. Outside of that, he'll still be wearing his face-obscuring helmet—visually updated, of course. The reason for showing Pantheon's face at all is tied to the lore of his update, though we'll be keeping this detail under wraps for a little while longer.

...Hopefully :P

There have been a few cases beyond Google Images where this happened, and the reason is usually the machine learning algorithms for images. Basically whenever you create an image recognition algorithm, you train it to recognize certain patterns. In this case, they trained the patterns for stuff like "human face" on features, color schemes, and shapes that are typical to caucasian people. Not a result of search algorithms (which do in fact work the way you say they do, and produce a different set of problems) but a result of the images and set of traits that engineers chose to train the computer on.

Yeah, I totally agree and could have used a better example (I was being a little tongue in cheek). I don't mean to suggest that kind of depiction is a good model for ANY kind of relationship. In general, media has a lot of room to improve on how they depict relationships between human beings and not glorifying basically stalker behavior.

So: we have a lot of room to grow, and I'm involved in a number of efforts both internally and externally to try to make changes in that arena. In terms of how it's going personally, the past year has been pretty painful, not gonna lie. I deal with it by spending a lot of time thinking about ways to change this stuff.

In terms of coworkers, part of the cascading issues that I mentioned at the end of my post is stuff that goes all the way down what we call the employment "pipeline" in tech and games. That means that recruiting efforts, candidate pools, interview style and structure, hiring practices, and the ways we evaluate pay and title changes are all systems that are at risk of being designed in ways that are disproportionately unfair to some underrepresented groups. Example: if you're an elite company and you source only from Ivy League schools, that means that most likely people who aren't from wealthy families are dramatically underrepresented, among other folks - you...

Look up Google Photos + Gorillas for details, it’s a pretty impressively bad oversight!

thank you both. This thread is a challenging mix of opinions, but the only one I really want to challenge is the "who cares?" thing. I think it's important everyone should know there's folks in the industry who have actually experienced this stuff and are actively working through how to deal with things like representation in a way that's driven by empathy and thoughtfulness. Y'all rock, stay strong!

Yes.

So let's say that you're a cat, and you live on a planet of mostly cats. When you turn on the TV there's a bunch of TV shows about cats doing cat stuff. The ads are for litterboxes and catnip. Lots of jokes about having nine lives.

Then suddenly you turn on the TV one day to watch a new show, and one of the side characters is a dog, who experiences the struggles you'd expect in a cat's world - barking is banned, playing fetch is considered distasteful, and going for walkies makes you a target for harassment. "Why does it have to be a dog?" you wonder. "I just want to see characters, I don't care about how hard it is to be a dog. Do dogs really care if they're up there or not? Why don't they just enjoy cat stories? Dogs and cats are both kinds of animals, how different can it be?" You start seeing ads for dog food and tennis balls, and just get pissed off because it's not relevant to you. And to be honest, some dogs probably agree with you, like, "I don't need a to...

Going to hit my coach with this. He's Dia in solo q and S1 in flex.
