Check out these Brontosaurus by William Scheele, painted for a 1988 series of collectible cards. They’re so chunky and cute, almost like toys! They’re surprisingly muscular for the time, too. The arms on the one in the foreground are downright scary!

Me and my distinguished cartoon mustache dive into new research on online sexism.
The ChatGPT results are eye-opening, but the impact of googling on people's actual beliefs about the world was something I didn't expect!

Would ChatGPT recommend hiring you?
It depends on your age and gender according to new research on stereotypes in online text and images and in LLMs

Would ChatGPT hire you? Your age and gender matter
Online stereotypes about younger women and older men could be affecting real-world hiring decisions. Researchers have analysed hundreds of thousands of images from places like IMDb and Google Image Search as well as the kinds of online texts used to train large language models. They found a persistent age gap between men and women when it comes to how they are shown and talked about online. This age gap, where women are stereotyped as being generally younger than men, could be impacting both the gender pay gap and the way ChatGPT ranks resumes.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

I'm pretty sceptical about 'AI scheming', as it's so easy to anthropomorphise & experiments often involve telling the AI to do the bad thing they end up doing.

Tests of large language models reveal that they can behave in deceptive and potentially harmful ways. What does this mean for the future?
