Spannendes Thema: Sollte KI nur noch vom Arzt verordnet werden dürfen, da die Nebenwirkungen auf das Gehirn fatal sind? >>[...] Forscherteam am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), das sich mit den Folgen der Nutzung von KI auf das menschliche Gehirn beschäftigt, spricht von „kognitiven Schulden“, die wir mit jeder Verwendung externer KI-Anwendungen machen. „Kognitive Schulden verschieben mentale Anstrengung kurzfristig, führen aber zu langfristigen Konsequenzen wie verringertem kritischem Denken, erhöhter Anfälligkeit für Manipulation und verringerter Kreativität.“
Dies wird stark dadurch befördert, dass Nutzer leicht einer Kompetenzillusion erliegen. Die Sprachgewandtheit und Schnelligkeit von KI-Anwendungen verführt zu blindem Vertrauen in das, was geliefert wird. Wenn der Text glänzt, der Vortrag sitzt, die Idee clever klingt – wozu dann noch die Mühen der Reflexion, des Zweifelns, des Hinterfragens? Langsam, fast unmerklich, gleiten wir ab in eine Komfortzone geistiger Trägheit.[...]<< https://taz.de/Kuenstliche-Intelligenz/!6110053/

Here's a question for New Zealand TV ad watchers. I've been noticing what seems to be a trend and I'd be interested if I'm wrong. When there's a mixed race couple in an ad, it's most often that the man is Māori or Pasifika and the woman is a white Pakehā, but not the other way around. (??)

ASB couple. Kiwibank couple with a stowaway cat. Couple scared by the orange voting man into voting. NZ forever young 100% Pure tourism ad for Australia.

I need a bigger sample size to know if this is likely to be a decision rather than chance. What other NZ TV ads with couples can you think of?

(I'm totally cool with happy couples. I'm interested in whether advertising people are choosing this on purpose, and if so why.)

A screenshot from a new kiwibank ad of a young family with a Māori man, a white Pakehā woman, and two children, on a couch. From https://www.brandinginasia.com/cat-takes-off-for-south-korea-family-follows-in-new-campaign-from-kiwibank/ While this ad is based (loosely) on a true story of a cat stowaway making it to South Korea then being reclaimed, I checked and the cat owner was a white man, not a mixed race couple.

Irgendwer macht eine Studie über Social Media, indem sie da LLMs aufeinander loslassen. Die Dinger gehen früher oder später immer aufeinander los.

Irgendwer anderes hatte vor einer Weile schon geschrieben, dass ein in LLMs weitergegeben wird.

TL;DR: Ich hege Zweifel an der Methodik der erstgenannten Studie.

RIP, Trump's cronies move in at the Tiffany Network. administration, as a condition of approving the $8 billion sale of to Media, has succeeded in demanding that (owned by Paramount) appoint a “bias monitor” to oversee its coverage.

'Despite decades of progress, women remain underrepresented in science and technology (STEM) careers.

New research by UBC psychology professor Dr. Toni Schmader and her team offers insight into one key reason why: the persistent belief that men and women are “naturally” interested in different kinds of work. Even when discrimination isn’t overt, this belief subtly shapes which opportunities women are offered—and which they aren’t.'
