Yes, ChatGPT is amazing and impressive. No, @OpenAI has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked.

And what is lurking inside is egregious.

Understanding public attitudes towards data and AI is key to ensuring their use and governance works for people and society.

The @CDEIUK tracker offers valuable evidence, complimenting growing research in this field.

[Luc Rocher @cynddl]

As much as I like counter-surveillance activism, this particular line of research—from faces to web traces—is dangerous in many aspects, suggesting that individuals have agency to resist identification and that it's easy to evade recognition algorithms in the real world. 1/

there needs to be some regulation ( and a mechanism to enforce it) for harmful pseudoscience like this

the machine refused to recognize my humanity until i professed to believe that a sign painted to look like a traffic light is indeed a traffic light.
