Again LLMs spit out whatever information is used to train them. In this instance sexism in, sexism out 🤷🏽‍♀️.
They amplify all pre-existing biases which is why pervasive unregulated use of AI is so dangerous.

Screenshot of ProPublica story that reads “Newby declined multiple interview requests from ProPublica and even had a reporter escorted out of a judicial conference to avoid questions. He also did not answer detailed written questions. The court system’s communications director and media team did not respond to multiple requests for comment or detailed written questions. When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.” “I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” “

#SNAP benefits may expire on November 1 due to the federal government shutdown; USDA has told states to stop sending benefit data. If the shutdown continues, benefits might not be disbursed, and some states suggest recipients visit #foodbanks. Contact your local #food bank for ways you can help.
Infographic from Community Action Partnership of Orange County Food Bank titled 'Most Needed Food Drive Items.' It shows illustrations of canned vegetables, canned meat or fish, canned fruit, peanut butter, and dry foods like beans, pasta, rice, and cereal as the most needed donations. A QR code links to ocfoodbank.org. The bottom text states that monetary donations help too, with a note that one dollar equals four meals, illustrated by four plate and utensil icons.

That’s shrapnel. Recovered by CHP at the I-15/SH-79 interchange, 185 meters from the Kaiser Permanente Temecula Medical Offices and 250ish meters from 2 hotels.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.
