Unrelated to the ML, but I don't like the fact I noticed that all the people in the clips are "diverse". No clue whether Google did this on purpose, but I feel like I've been trained to notice this due to the diversity movement thing currently occurring and I don't like it.

In this particular case, why is testing/demonstrating on diverse set of individuals a bad thing ? A personal anecdote is that a few years back the automatic door sensors in my university did not work on my skin tone.

Why don't you like it?
Honestly it's the worst implementation I've seen of this technology yet. Just absolute and total garbage.
Wtf happened to hangouts? How many video products does google have?
Sony released some software a couple of months ago that lets you use most of their DSLRs as webcams with USB. My goodness, paired with a fast lens, what a difference to my MacBook webcam, even with these ml blurred backgrounds! It's only 720p and around 15fps but real shallow dof, very little sensor noise, autofocus works. Well worth trying if you have a Sony camera from the last few years. Sensor size and good optic…
I'm using my old T1i which can be had for less than $50 these days, plus you can pick up a 18-55mm kit lens for like $20 and the video quality blows away any webcam, especially for the same price. Also recommend battery->power adapter.

Sorry not everyone on the planet looks like you
Happy to see ML become mainstream. In the future, I don't think ML will be a separate field of programming. It'll just be "programming," the same way webdev is. There's a tendency to think of ML as "not programming," or something other than just plain programming. But as the tooling matures, that'll go away. (Lisp used to be considered "AI programming," till it became useful in many other contexts.)
