It’s remarkable that so little, if any, of the discourse around generative AI frames things in terms of the massive negative externalities that these systems generate for education, search, an informed electorate, national security, and even the training of future AI systems.
I wonder how many teachers and professors are going to eventually quit their jobs because the existence of ChatGPT leaches all of the remaining joy out of them.

Zuwanderung: Wie gespalten ist Deutschland in der Frage wirklich?
Das Thema Zuwanderung polarisiert. Allerdings finden sich bei den Ansichten beider Lager auch bemerkenswerte Überschneidungspunkte, fanden Forscher nun heraus.

Do you think framing immigration debates as pro vs anti is oversimplified? If so, you'll appreciate our new research note in IMR (w M Helbling, F Jaeger, R Traumueller).

We examine preferences for immigration policies across a wide range of detailed proposals (1/n)
