So it looks like both ChatGPT and Bard contain the same kind of gendered biases people have been trying to warn you about for at least 8 years, since word2vec was cutting edge.

Again, this is… This is old, basic shit, y'all. People have been warning you about this since GloVe. What are you DOING??

Or, more to the point, why are you NOT DOING what you know you NEED to do?

Fuck off with calling all these anti trans and anti gay laws "controversial." They're hate laws. They're fascism. They're evil.

If you hit something stationary, that’s your fault. Pay attention to the fucking road while you’re driving. It’s not too much to ask when other people’s lives are literally at stake.”

Harsh but true.

A reminder that Musk is using Twitter to massively amplify right-wing lies and extremism: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-jan-6-denial-twitter_n_64074f7ce4b018d7c56cd6a2

Also a reminder that Big Journalism refuses to understand why it is unconscionable to be supporting Musk's company.
