Algorithmic Bias Satire Cartoon: Math vs. The Manager

The Scenario: This algorithmic bias satire cartoon features a young developer standing before a whiteboard covered in a dizzying array of boxes and arrows.

With a straight face, he presents his latest breakthrough to a smiling executive: "I designed the algorithm to remove human bias — except yours." 

It perfectly satirizes the performance of "data-driven" decision-making, where the goal isn't to find the truth, but to find a mathematical way to agree with the person in charge.

The Observation: At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Executive Override Function." This software engineering irony mocks how modern algorithmic strategy is often just a sophisticated mirror for leadership's existing prejudices.

By explicitly hard-coding the boss's bias into the system, the developer isn't just being funny—he’s being efficient.

It is a sharp critique of a tech culture that claims to be "disruptive" and "objective" while remaining fundamentally subservient to traditional corporate power dynamics.

In the modern corporate hierarchy, "Algorithmic Objectivity" is just a fancy way of saying we used a computer to reach the same conclusion the boss reached in the shower this morning.
