AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/17
LLM are just statistic text generators which depend on the texts they have been trained which and alleviating this usually makes things worse: [Wayback/Archive] AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature
Related:
- [Wayback/Archive] LLMs produce racist output when prompted in African American English
- [Wayback/Archive] AI worse than humans at summarising information, trial finds “A test of AI for Australia’s corporate regulator found that the technology might actually make more work for people, not less.”
Of course these issues are not limited to natural language LLM: artificial computer language LLM are also full of training issues that are likely very hard to resolve. What if covert organisations succeed poisoning LLM platforms with malicious code?

By Jack Rhysider: if you’re in IT, I highly encourage you to write a blog. Here are 17 reasons why you should be blogging.🧵👇
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/04
I quote the last tweets in the series starting with [Wayback/Archive] Jack Rhysider on Twitter: “If you’re in IT, I highly encourage you to write a blog. Here are 17 reasons why you should be blogging. 🧵👇”
1…17.
So to recap. By blogging you will become a better writer and communicator, learn the concepts better, open new opportunities, have a fantastic notebook for self reference, maybe make money, become appreciated by more people, and show off your IT skills.
So how do you get started? Try these: WordPress, Jekyll, Ghost, Hugo, Medium, Wix, Squarespace. I really don’t care what you use. Just jump in and start blogging. You can always move everything to a different place later. Good luck and I hope to see some new bloggers from this.
and a few ones that came up in the responses:
