- Comment on Study Finds LLMs Biased Against Men in Hiring 1 week ago:
Is gender an indicator on its own?
I’m not sure if you mean the social construct or the sex assigned at birth. Probably the latter as you mentioned “on its own”.
I have a lot of issues with the social construct as it’s basically a nicer word for “stereotype”. It looks like men and women alike suffer because of these stereotypes. The social constructs, the stereotypes, are the basis for bias. To me it seems like gender never is “on its own”. It’s the way we perceive the biological sex and compare it to our expectations.
Sex on the other hand is no indicator on its own, I think.
And I agree statistics is always a problem, that’s why LLMs are problematic in a lot of ways.

Thanks for the voice of reason in this sea of hate.
From my pov it would be best to have completely anonymised applications and no involvement of AI in the hiring process.

So they admit, that there’s a huge bias against women, black people, …
And then they claim it must be a bias against men. Maybe it’s not a bias, maybe it’s the interpretation of studies which found out that there are certain areas where women are better in their jobs than men, and the AI considered those studies despite the bias against women.

Ethics and morals are only considered when they’re not in the way of power and profit.

“I would give anything to have an assistant who understood my voice and context and my intent well enough “
Translation: I don’t want to put in the effort to make myself clear to others, I want to babble along being dependent on a machine to communicate with others and while we are at it, I want the machine to consider all my wishes and implement the rhetoric to manipulate everyone listening to my machine to do my bidding.

Some GMOs are approved and released before we fully understand their long-term ecological or health impacts. While short-term studies may show no harm, ecological processes unfold over decades.
Another thing is that introducing glowing flowers might make genetic modification seem harmless or trivial. This could lead to less critical public debate and a gradual erosion of caution in how such technologies are used.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Probably very unpopular opinion. I don’t get it how you could buy genetically modified plants.
-unpredictable impact on ecosystems -uncontrolled spread through insects/seed -no long term studies available
I really wish people would be more responsible with our environment.
