Short-term traditional meeting evaluations are unreliable. They tell you nothing about the long-term effects of a session. We can do better.

Does awareness of intuition's fallibility help people avoid faulty intuitions?

#Teaching students #DualProcessTheory didn't help them avoid faulty intuitions about #physics problems.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. views on autism are only biased, discriminatory, pseudo-scientific postulations.
And by the way, his boss couldn't care less about "environmental toxins."

What can be done about "the rich?" The rich effect \ influence is generally negative on communities. E.g., undermining democracy, using up far more resources than the average person. Privatisation & private Jets, monopolist mindsets, etc

#abc730 #auspol #bias Sarah Ferguson just displayed her clear bias by inviting "Well Done Angus" to close the debate between the Treasurer and Shadow Treasurer to make his case for why he should be Treasurer (after giving him much more freedom during the debate).

Despite the fact that he ABC has an equal time policy, she then invited the Treasurer to make his case "in half the time".

What the actual fuck?

Nach einigen Monaten Wartezeit habe ich nochmals DALL-E via #ChatGPT mit einigen Stichproben geprüft, wie es mit dem #Bias in der KI-#Bildgenerierung von Personen und Berufsbildern aussieht. Ich habe wieder dieselben Beispiele wie Ende des Jahres 2023 genommen, erweitert um zusätzliche Berufe.

#Facebook Pushes Its #Llama4 #AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”

#Bias in artificial intelligence systems, or the fact that large language models, facial recognition, and #AI image generators can only remix and regurgitate the information in data those technologies are trained on, is a wellestablished fact that researchers and academics have been warning about since their inception.

The speech police: Chairman Brendan Carr & the FCC’s news #distortion policy

#FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is taking a hard line against #broadcastTV stations accused of #bias against #Republicans & Pres #Trump. To pressure broadcasters, Carr is invoking the rarely enforced #news distortion policy that was developed starting in the late 1960s & says the FCC should consider revoking #broadcast licenses.

I am reading a peer-reviewed article that describes a study that featured 5 drivers; 4 male, 1 female. It includes the following analysis:

"It shows that male is more impulsive and daring in operating their vehicles by 22% than a female who is more hesitant and less daring, which is consistent with the physiological nature of women."

Do I reject all further findings or?

A new study finds that people tend to overestimate the size of small demographic groups because of cognitive errors in estimation of small proportions, not necessarily because of misinformation, ignorance, or animus. The authors emphasize that their findings do not negate the existence of those effects.

Really interesting essay today by Caroline Criado Perez (if you haven’t read her book, Invisible Women, I highly recommend) on why she doesn’t think imposter “syndrome” exists, but rather that women feeling like imposters is a very rational response to a culture that treats women in many roles as imposters. There’s a perfection trap.

"Buried in the messages between National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other cabinet members is a horrible demonstration of narrative engineering.

"While the legacy media fixates on ‘classified information’, the real story is actually not the incompetence of these people but instead how they casually discussed spinning the bombing of Yemen—an already battered and famine-ravaged nation—into a palatable story for the American and global public. Let’s have a look":

"In terms of racial identity, white Americans have had the choice of being something vague, something unraced and separate from race. A capitalized "White" challenges that freedom, by unmasking Whiteness as an American racial identity as historically important as "Blackness" — which it certainly is."
