Aaron<p>Just saw an article about how people are talking more like ChatGPT.</p><p>Bananas are cloned. When a pest or fungus evolves a way around the banana's defenses, the entire crop is destroyed due to a lack of variation.</p><p>We're already well aware of the dangers of monoculture. They have been discussed not just with respect to agriculture but also to *human* diversity as well. In particular, it is well-understood that neurodiversity and cultural diversity strengthen, rather than weaken, the performance of teams.</p><p>What sorts of vulnerabilities are we creating in our society when so many of us spend time conversing with and learning from a bot that follows the same patterns of speech and "reasoning", with the same assumptions, biases, and failure modes?</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodiversity</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/monoculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>monoculture</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/variation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>variation</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/bias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bias</span></a></p>
Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:<p>This is not the time to step back from diversity, equity, and inclusion</p><p>"Today, as in the past, one group—people classified as white men—is overrepresented in the sciences, whereas other groups are underrepresented in nearly every scientific field. This imbalance is not because the intrinsic capacity to be a scientist varies by race, sex, gender, or other demographic grouping, but rather, it is because structural and systemic biases favoring one group have been the norm in the sciences for centuries (in STEM, STEMM, biology, public health, chemistry, geology, physics, etc., even in mentions in textbooks). Only over the past five decades has this begun to shift. It is this shift away from one group’s overrepresentation and toward broader representational equity that is the actual target of the “anti-DEI” actions." <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adz9026" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc</span><span class="invisible">e.adz9026</span></a></p>
