When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

To whom it may concern.

Little peer review induced mini rant inocming! I love Donna Haraway's work. I also read a lot of her texts. This is not always fun because Haraway has a notoriously dense and dynamic way of writing. So I had to read her texts more than once. As one should in academia to fully grasp a text. (1/3)

Martina Heßler (TU Darmstadt) plädiert für die Entwicklung einer gesellschaftlichen Error Literacy, die die neuartigen Dimensionen des Nichtverstehens von KI-Modellen und ihrer Fehler zur Basis des Handelns macht. Quelle: Forschung & Lehre 4/26 #Technikkompetenz #ErrorLiteracy #AI #KI

1. 1100 words is only very long if you’re an amoeba. 2. Asking an LLM a question is not a skill. 3. One dead teen is actually too many unless you are a sociopath. 4. You’re welcome.

This.

I hear critical positions towards so-called «artificial intelligence» nowadays framed more and more as «rejectionism», and this is especially formulated as a critique of the left. The argument often goes something like this: Rather than seeing the potentials of AI, the left merely rejects it 1/

Fuck AI winter: we need an AI ice age.

Employers should cover work-related travel and other expenses directly rather than require employees to float their employer an interest-free loan while subjecting them to a byzantine reimbursement process that will take at least a month and entail multiple rounds of paperwork.

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense.: "It’s not that AI doesn’t create efficiency. It’s that the capacity it frees up immediately gets repurposed into doing other work, and that’s where the creep is likely to happen." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-i...

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

Does anyone know where I can stream or watch the 2010 Weizenbaum doc "Plug and Pray"? I can't seem to figure out where to find it.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Can't wait for the near future where I will be misinformed by a customer service chatbot, misdiagnosed by a medical chatbot, misidentified by a face-recognition system and misrepresented by a legal chatbot.

*sighs deeply* She can't teach an AI model to have morals, only to imitate her understanding of what having morals means. Its a pattern imitation machine, not an intelligent machine, people!

Kurz gesagt: Es gibt für die Arten "KI", die wir heute sehen, keine "linke" oder "menschliche" Perspektive. Sie sind ein Tool der Ausbeutung und Unterdrückung. Strukturell und aufgrund der Ideologie der Leute, die sie betreiben und finanzieren.

By no means do I have a musical ear but I can't believe how bad the sound quality at Spotify is. Its basically just very flat. I switched to Deezer two months ago and its a whole new (better) world of listening to music.

There will be a backlash eventually but I fear for the students in school and university right now who are basically lab rats for AI curriculums created by tech companies and do not realize they get robbed of a proper education.

Well, sound like a marvelous idea where nothing can go wrong! The city and its inhabitants will definitly profit from this surely well-informed AI push with improved infrastructures for health, eduation and business because who better to trust with sensitive data than Big Tech?
