    Using AI to spot edible mushrooms could kill you | AI tools are good for some things, but don’t trust your health to apps that make frequent mistakes

  • Where does the article say the problem started with AI? It doesn't even mention LLMs, just the explosion in grifter apps since it became easier to produce a grifter app.

    If you read the article, you did not read it properly.

  • Oh. That makes much more sense, thanks.

  • Nice of the British state to step in and save HP from its own failure to do due diligence.

    When are they going to step in to make my landlord spend the service charges on keeping the building in good repair?

  • It's likely a browser issue. I've found a workaround, thanks.

  • Aye, it looks like my browser is doing something strange. Thanks.

    I just tried opening the feed from a thread set at a good zoom level and it is better? I don't understand how or why. But I may have found some kind of solution by accident.

    OpenAI’s GPT Is a Recruiter’s Dream Tool. Tests Show There’s Racial Bias

    Jump

  • You start off by claiming that humans can't recognise their biases and end up by saying that there's no problem because humans can recognise their biases so well they can programme it out of AI.

    Which is it?

  • It wasn't just the goblins — is J.K. Rowling doing Holocaust denial now?

    Jump

  • She's not a conservative, she's a liberal (in the political science sense of the word, not the USian synonym for leftist).

    It's not 100% clear where Rowling's transphobia comes from. She certainly fits into the group of transphobic cis women who have been abused by cis men and concluded that all men are evil, including the ones that want to be women.

    But there's also a dynamic which I think you can see with Graham Linehan and Dave Chappelle as well. Born into comfortable middle-class families, well-educated, never really thought about their bog-standard liberalism. Became extremely successful, became accustomed to near universal adoration, made a thoughtless transphobic comment/skit, received criticism and reacted with absolute fury at the idea they could possibly be prejudiced about anything. Because they're liberals, you see.

    All three just keep digging that hole deeper rather than face up to the idea that maybe they got something wrong. Linehan's career is over (as is his marriage), Dave Chappelle is hanging on by a thread and flirting with the right, and Rowling doesn't give a shit because she's a billionaire and does not have to give a shit about anything at all.

  • This is how Trump won last time. I know you can't help yourself but please, just try to say nothing at all because this arrogant drivel is exactly why the Dems have trouble turning out their vote.

  • Menstruation cycle tracking app breached users' privacy, B.C. class-action lawsuit alleges

    Jump

  • Maybe you could direct your righteous anger at the people misselling the app, not the people who use it to help them get pregnant or to avoid becoming pregnant in a proto-fascist society that has removed their right to an abortion?

  • Southern blot is a neat full circle:

    The method is named after the British biologist Edwin Southern, who first published it in 1975.[3] Other blotting methods (i.e., western blot,[4] northern blot, eastern blot, southwestern blot) that employ similar principles, but using RNA or protein, have later been named for compass directions as a sort of pun from Southern's name.

  • When I was born, married women were barred from most white collar jobs and women did not have the right to their own bank accounts, decades before rape within marriage was formally recognised as a crime.

    If you are old enough to remember this era, you should realise that singling out these behaviours as somehow "Muslim" is bizarre.

    I appreciate that that might not have been your intent (although it is certainly the subtext of this thread).

  • You must be very, very young if you do not remember these tropes being absolutely standard in the 'Christian' world, and not paying much attention now if you think they've completely disappeared since.
