Das feministische Paradox
Frauen sind in immer höheren Machtpositionen vertreten. Und je sichtbarer sie werden, desto mehr Gewalt erfahren sie, weil sie Frauen sind: Femizide, sexuelle Übergriffe, Stalking, Hetze.

necessarily analog critique people want to imagine they're producing. It's really training students to produce the next benchmark (let's call it OverlookedStandpointBench). Which is a cool thing to do, imo.

Would it still be possible if you go with extremely niche stuff where you know that training data is extremely rarified, and so any generalization is likely to be fraught? Or are they good enough at this point to say "i don't know"?

"Ask students to explain why the chatbot is wrong" was a short-lived pedagogical fix — because it's now likely that the students will stumble more significantly than the bot.

Brasilien: Entschuldigung für Friedrich Merz!
Friedrich Merz war nicht einmal 24 Stunden bei der COP. Über seinen Aufenthalt in der Stadt erzählte er: »Ich habe einige Journalisten, die mit mir in Brasilien waren, letzte Woche gefragt: Wer von euch würde denn gerne hierbleiben? Da hat keiner die Hand gehoben«, sagte er. »Die waren alle froh, dass wir vor allen Dingen von diesem Ort, an dem wir da waren, (..) wieder nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt sind.« Der Bürgermeister der Stadt Belém sagte dazu, die Äußerungen seien “unglücklich,...

Readers like concrete stories with human interest — especially if they’re about sex, or wackos, or kids doing bad things.
The big problem of power and inequality is *too* big to make a good story. Also it’s not news. But imo amplifying concentration of power is the biggest risk of AI.
