In addition to the misogyny - - he's so heavy an LLM user that he used an LLM prompt on a person.
"I want to hear..." - - it's a prompt. He prompted a human.
How do you use an LLM so much you start thinking that's how people work? Wtf.
I swear at least half of the AI hype comes from men who get all titillated that they can make a bot do a thing. At a time when they can’t make women do what they want, the AI is a crutch for male fantasies of power and control.
"my mom, who actually used ChatGPT to translate random things a few times, surely seems to know more about AI translation capabilities than Bender does."
he sure does seem to believe that women should perform for him or we're "smug"
Do women with expertise threaten him, I wonder?
Gambling addict and online troll Nate Silver now going after Emily, comparing her to existential risker and overall creep Yudkowsky.
I couldn't have changed my derby name quickly enough.
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.
This reporting by @joshdzieza.bsky.social is harrowing. The arbitrary, precarious, and piecemeal work done by professionals to train generative AI systems.
The data work contractor, Mercor, founded by 19-year olds, pull contracts and change working conditions at the drop of a hat.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

h-oh!
Disclosure of personal data is a serious breach of privacy law, right?
"High-level information about the private work of students and staff using ChatGPT Edu at several universities can be viewed by thousands of colleagues across their institutions ..."

Everything is gender, because I do see this happening to professional/expert women a lot. At least some of this is ‘surely you, a woman, can’t be right when this LLM is saying otherwise’
I'm definitely completely sure that my university's groundbreaking deal with Microsoft will definitely absolutely be 100% secure and there will be no privacy issues
So many of these lately bsky.app/profile/emil...
@olivia.science how does one respond constructively, without expletives, to someone simulating humans in ChatGPT to "develop better policy options for justice and sustainability"?
(Janne M. Korhonen in case he blocks me. Wouldn't even blame him, my responses seem unhinged. Men like him trigger me.)
@olivia.science saw this by artist Laura Graves...
I have been observing a pattern.
Some people weaponise DEI to advance their own careers and positions, in contrast to pursuing DEI to support *others*.
I have been tricked by this, now at least 3 times (and possibly more often, unnoticed by me).
I am trying to learn how to spot this earlier.
My public online talk next Fri 20th March 5pm GMT hosted by the Starling Centre for Just Technologies and Just Societies is titled 'AI is a Morbid Symptom of the Interregnum' and will also make the case for decomputing. Details and signup here: www.uwo.ca/events/2026/...
Here's to "Luddite teens and students pushing back against tech use in their schools," including organizing against GoGuardian and top-down mandates to be surveilled in and out of school through their Chromebooks.

Just today I was teaching students in our Elementary AI course, and later this week they are watching your 2022 keynote @emilymbender.bsky.social and discussing about it in their working groups ❤️

women aren't chatbots and don't have to have conversations in the way you demand
That guy was an unhinged sexist because he reacted to being called a mansplainer by doubling down. I'm not saying doubling down implies mansplainer, but in context it shows a person who is too irritated by a woman to think more than a second before hitting send, which yes, is pretty telling.
If anything I say suggests indirectly (they make the inference themselves, not me!) that a practice they engage with could be considered harmful, then they outright attack me, sometimes almost in tears, and need me to either bless their souls with absolution or be prepared to be socially destroyed 🤷♀️
Why is everyone so reactive? And who does it benefit when we're fighting all the time?

i was writing a whole thing about some of the many ways we can undermine the systems & incentives making AI seem lucrative, and disrupt the political project of AI, beyond caricatures some people maliciously drew after reading my post in 2024. but now iran is blowing up corporate data centers so lol
This feels like MORE WORK
FOR MOTHER by Ruth Schwartz Cowan, which explored the irony that many of the technical advances in housework and the kitchen did nothing to ease the burden on women but instead increased it.
I spent years of my life trying to explain to a self-proclaimed "logical thinker" that if your "more convenient" method for doing X fails to achieve the intended objective of doing X, you have not in fact done X.
To this day, the idea of actions having objectives still eludes him.
