Developing the Online Hate Index

|
| I am a troubled man, perhaps a wicked man. | |
| I think my brain hurts. | |
| I don't give a fig about treating it. | |
| I like nursing it. | |
| And though I speak as a Jew, racially, I'm prone to superstition, for I sail the high seas of Jewish censorship. | |
| ADL and the University of California at Berkeley's D-Lab have been working to develop a new approach to tackle online hate using the latest methods. | |
| The goal of the Online Hate Index is to help tech platforms better understand the growing amount of hate on social media. | |
| and to use that information to address the problem. | |
| By combining artificial intelligence and machine learning with social science, the online hate index will ultimately uncover and identify trends and patterns in hate speech across different platforms. | |
| We've just completed our first phase of research and we found that the machine learning model identified hate speech accurately between 78 and 85 percent of the time. | |
| In the next phase of our project, We will look at specific targeted populations in a more detailed manner. | |
| We'll examine content on multiple social media sites. | |
| And we'll identify strategies to deploy the model more broadly. | |
| While there's still a long way to go with artificial intelligence and machine learning-based solutions, we believe the Online Hate Index will help tech companies better understand the extent of hateful content on their platforms by creating community-based definitions of hate speech. | |
| Nothing sinister here, kind of like a vasectomy, a sterilization process supervised by a shuxa. | |
| So I reached for the crack in the wall and get out the gizmo that gauges the expanse between German evil and Jewish good. | |
| Good. | |
| Bell rings. | |
| Music. | |

Thanking Elie Wiesel
00:04:35
|
|
| We gather here today with love and appreciation, not only to remember you, but to thank you. | |
| To thank you for the so many gifts that you have bestowed upon us. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you for teaching us the importance of memory. | |
| And teaching us how to remember. | |
| I thank him too. | |
| I'm safe in my box, for not once did Ellie mention gas chambers in his book Night. | |
| Every Jew, Ellie later said, should set apart a zone of hate. | |
| A healthy, virile hate for what the German personifies and persists in the German. | |
| I like that. He was frank, not giving a fig for Jewish censors, though Holocaust hawking always gets a free pass. | |
| They made an industry out of it. | |
| Don't all lives matter? | |
| Don't German lives matter? | |
| Here's a victim of World War II, a starving girl, a German girl. | |
| There were many like her who suffered from Allied bombings, but this is heresy, an antitrust intrusion on a monopoly. | |
| And that voice of monopoly of misery made at least six mil. | |
| He would become the most famous survivor of the Holocaust. | |
| But at the age of 15, Elie Wiesel had no fears when his family was rounded up in Hungary by the Nazis. | |
| To the very last minute, I wasn't worried. | |
| We had no idea that Auschwitz existed. | |
| That changed when he was transported by cattle car with hundreds of others. | |
| I knew something terrible, because something terrifying was in store for us. | |
| Trapped in a nightmare, Wiesel sustained himself by keeping his father alive. | |
| This picture was taken after liberation. | |
| Wiesel is in the second level of the bunk next to the beam. | |
| He would later say he didn't recognize himself. | |
| Others don't recognize him either. | |
| Auschwitz survivor Miklos Gruner says that the man claimed to be Wiesel was in his thirties, not in his teens, the age Wiesel would have been at the time. | |
| Gruner also says that there was no ditch with burning flames that Jewish babies were thrown into, as Wiesel claims in night. | |
| But when launching a career, sensationalism sells. | |
| So Knight has a career, which I use the word career almost in a poetic way, because the word career should not be applicable to this kind of book. | |
| But you already said it. | |
| You speak with poor tongue. | |
| Freudian slips with the subconscious on full display, kind of like shoes in a museum. | |
| One evening my family was watching TV when Wiesel came on, doing a dramatization of Jewish suffering during the war. | |
| It was one of his first TV appearances. | |
| It was over-dramatized and kind of fake. | |
| My dad muttered, what the hell is this? | |
| Went to the TV and shut it off. | |
| We never heard of gas chambers in those days. | |
| It came later, when Hollywood started pumping out movies about it. | |
| There's a new and improved zone of hate today. | |
| A virile, healthy hate that the ADL has taken its knife to circumcise. | |
| I'm a troubled man, perhaps a wicked man. | |
