The idea
A learner trained on human decisions learns those decisions as ground truth — historical bias codified and automated, executed consistently, at scale, on people.
In practice
A hiring model trained on decades of skewed choices reproduces them as scores; the pile's fingerprints stop being a data issue and become someone's denied loan.
Where people slip
The model did not add the bias — it industrialized what the pile recorded.
