I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but apparently a lot: If you are not in a position to verify the accuracy of some synthetic text, the synthetic text is not useful/has a high potential to be misleading.
This is one of those cases.

cool pincer movement if you truly grasp:
AI & any concept relating to it like so-called guardrails are a scam in the deepest sense like a perpetual motion machine or a quija board — and not only a scam like a pyramid scheme which is a possible way to make money if you are first in first out

I'll also repeat this: the toy is a displacement for a parent or guardian because it's the parents' job to shield or not a child from this and other content. A company's product will never factually replace the true role of a mother, but they can and will try.

To help us do this, we develop a lens to help us trace the harm towards women within/by AI by examining literature, film, and other media (see the figure above), and then apply the lens (also above) to current types of technologies like voice assistants to demonstrate its use.

Logtenberg Media was zo happy dat hij een man op een vrouwonvriendelijke woord kon betrappen voor het meer algemene ‘leugenaar’. Maar goed, hoe noem je een zelfgenoegzame man die vrouwen laatdunkend en smalend aankijkt? Je mag me ook een DM sturen als je denkt ooit informateur te worden.
Ik vond het gesprek met Logtenberg over het NRC nepnieuws bij Kockelmann zeer teleurstellend. Maar eerst dit. Terwijl Marjolein Moorman aan het woord is, zit hij (en ik vermoed ook de andere mannen) haar uit te lachen. Dit was aan het eind, aan het begin doen ze het ook; zie langere video Willemijn⬇️

As I've said before, it'd be nice if those in govt who were involved in drafting generative AI guidance and regulation actually understood the tech and went into it with their eyes open.
Newfoundland and Labrador has made it into international news for ridicule it absolutely deserves for using generative AI to “write” a report on the future of education. Great job to those MUN education profs.
Education report calling for ethical AI use contains over 15 fake sources
Experts find fake sources in Canadian government report that took 18 months to complete.
