    Generally people believe that math, numbers, and data, cannot have implicit bias, yeah. But algorithms? I think it’s common knowledge that algorithms are bias and bad across any semi-knowledgeable community.

      That is sadly very much not the case. As in, there are loads of people, including in “semi-knowledgeable communities”, that do not understand that algorithms are designed by people, for a specific purpose, and thus replicate their biases — even if their designers try not to make that happen.
