"Bias laundering" and how datasets are a collection of biases. @mmitchell_ai keynote at #PyConUS @PyConUS
Okay. Inspired by news &
@Stealcase , let me clarify something.
When AI companies release "open training data" for a model, they're generally sharing *fine-tuning* data. The big issues w data and consent are NOT of this type. The issues are with the MAIN DATA used in training.๐Ÿงต
"[The system] is biased toward students who have more free time to devote to side projects, hackathons and studying for technical interviewsโ€”characteristics that conflate privilege with student potential." - Ruthe Farmer of the Last Mile Education fund saying what we all know... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/05/business/tech-internship-application-grind.html
For Lower-Income Students, Big Tech Internships Can Be Hard to Get

The former guy is holding a rally tonight in Waco, Texas. It coincides with the 30 year anniversary of the fed raid and battle there with armed radicals.

This is a great insight into how 4 authors got together to write a paper because they wanted to 'steer the conversation in a specific direction', ie. 'what are the risks & harms' not 'can #LLMs think'

We shouldn't be focussing on bigger & bigger models but on better data.

think now about bias.

Sarah Andrew at #StochasticParrotsDay calling on all people building tech (esp. 'AI') to really feel the extent to which you are holding everyone's human rights in your hands ... and behave accordingly.

'Nobody asked artists or educationalists what they thought':

what's the technology for? How should we train it? Why? To what end? What problems is it resolving? Who is it harming? Why did you not ask us before letting it loose onto the world?

'We are in chaos'.

Wow. "To stop building things that collide so violently from what it means to be human." Wow. Go Nanjala Nyabola.
