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.

Yes, that’s correct, I am easily distracted, I have adhd. Sorry if I can’t be as focused as you can.

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.

I’m a bit distracted by the black eye.

There are two different issues addressed: patriarchy and capitalism.

Capitalism is the reason why so many men are failing (it was mentioned before, homelessness, education, drug addiction, college and university drop outs …). Women are doing better in these areas because most of them have better networks and more friends, they are simply better in socialising.

Capitalism leads inevitably to a small group of wealthy people financed by most of the people. Men have a harder time to deal with not being part of the wealthy group.

Patriarchy promises men that they are better than women, they deserve more and better options than women.

The structure of capitalism was shaped by patriarchy, that’s true.

Why do you think women’s rights are taken away more and more? It’s because women are doing better in capitalism than men. Sure, they never get to the top positions because of patriarchy, but in general they are doing better in this system.

‘ “Do you think you’re smarter than [the GPT o3 model] right now?” Altman asked the Financial Times rhetorically in a recent interview. “I don’t … and I feel completely unbothered, and I bet you do too.”’

What kind of definition of “smart” do they have? Above that quote they even mentioned “more intelligent”. So smart obviously equals intelligence.

Is ChatGPT smarter or more intelligent than Altman? ChatGPT just has more data and can search through it faster, but is that intelligence now?

It’s football not soccer.

I’m just so tired of people dealing with the climate change as if it was inevitable, like some karma shit. A lot of people just don’t want to change. They want to keep going like they used to and that’s driving me insane.

How badly we need AC?

How about “how badly we need to get our shit together to stop human caused climate change”?

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

The sad part is, it’s all coming back. Day by day, more women’s rights are being revoked, or the political and economic climate is shifting in ways that make it harder for women to truly access the rights they legally have.

That’s not true in general.

In Europe 75%-80% were women who were accused and executed for witchcraft. Source: https://www.gendercide.org/case_witchhunts.html

But there were specific areas where more men were accused

“Around 40% were men in Aragon, 50% in Finland, 58% in Friaul , 60% in Estonia, 70% in Russia, 75% in Normandy (though the figure was around 50% in France more generally), and an enormous 92% in Iceland”

There are basically 2 reasons why someone rejects the idea the cause of climate change could be man made:

1. money/power
2. fear/ignorance/mentally impaired

The same idiots claim that vaccines cause autism, the Earth is flat, that God exists, that public healthcare is communism and that women shouldn’t have the right to abortion.

Here I am, not even having a microwave.

I do have an electric kettle though which I need multiple times a day.

No, I’m not British.

and insane politicians

“Political theatre”?

They voted for that shit!

The prices for grocery shopping are much higher in the US than in Germany (30% to 100% higher for unprocessed, healthy food). Yes, we also have immigration workers, but their status is legal and they get the official minimum wage.

It’s not that the US can’t afford to lower prices without illegals, they just want to maximise profit.
