Just read #ZeroDays by #RuthWare - crime fiction for those who enjoy a good tech story, I highly recommend it! Our main protagonist is a pen-tester, she's late getting from a job, as she got held up by the police. When she finally makes it home, she finds her hacktivist husbond has been killed... She ends up having to solve the murder herself, while on the run from the police - this realistically involves #surveillance #cctv #bitcoin #darkweb etc. #Harrogate

People have been posting glaring examples of ChatGPT’s gender bias, like arguing that attorneys can't be pregnant. So @sayashk and I tested ChatGPT on WinoBias, a standard gender bias benchmark. Both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are about 3 times as likely to answer incorrectly if the correct answer defies gender stereotypes — despite the benchmark dataset likely being included in the training data. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/quantifying-chatgpts-gender-bias

Benchmarks allow us to dig deeper into what causes biases and what can be done about it

Excellent words for the modern world! Only missing a word for the anxiety you feel over other peoples screenshots with almost no battery left...

This is a thread of new / slang words, from different languages, that were coined for the modern world. I’ll start with this one…

Egérmozi (Hungarian) = watching films or shows on a phone (literally ‘mouse cinema’)

This is a thread of my favourite Aussie slang. It’s a mixed bag of widely known vs regional, brand-new vs outdated etc. I had a neighbour in Melbourne for 5 years who spoke almost entirely in slang from the ’60s (so shout out to Frances from Mentone for teaching me lots of them!)

Higher Education Futures 4: Extreme Unbundling. Campuses are cancelled, and universities’ estates contract into ‘rent by the hour’ teaching spaces. HE is re-framed as ‘super-skilling’; people ‘super-skill’ through life.

#oeb22 Clare Walsh has a great point - when the internet arrived, communication got digitized - and we acquired the skills for it. With the quantum internet (which is here already) decision-making is going digital - we will need to learn the skills to handle this! Or we can wait 5 years and let add sales and defence industry take the lead...

#oeb22 Good points from BI in Norway (Martin Henrik Andresen): If #microcredentials are to take off, we need a common standard.
