Medical and biometric data is highly sensitive. Unlike an ID # this data cannot be changed. @MeganPrictor @cooper_cn & I speak with @arielbogle about long-term consequences - especially for children - who don’t get a say when their data is shared. abc.net.au/news/science/2022…

FB algorithms classify race, gender, and age of people in ad images and make delivery decisions based on the predictions. Images of Black folks are shown more to B users; images of children are delivered more to women; images of young women reach older men.

Disappointed in the @washingtonpost, which uses California, a clear outlier in these data, to argue that there's no correlation between school closures and learning loss. Also contradicted by more granular analyses (emilyoster.net/wp-content/up…) washingtonpost.com/education…

So let's be clear: LMs are sophisticated statistical models that predict probable sequences of language in response to a prompt even though they do not “understand” language in any human-like sense. /5

No, a machine did not testify before congress. It is irresponsible for @jackclarkSF to claim that it did and for @dannyfortson to repeat that claim, with no distance or skepticism in the Sunday Times.

ALT Screencap reading: "On Thursday, a machine testified before Congress. Jack Clark, the British founder of Anthropic, a San Francisco artificial intelligence start-up, was in Washington to give testimony on retaining America’s leading role in new technologies. At the end of his comments, he read out a paragraph written by a language programme his company had developed. When he informed the senators of his trick, Senator Maria Cantwell responded: “Do you want to explain that?”" Source: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-robot-revolution-optimus-google-clarissa-ai-q20vkkgj2
