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.

Pls comment on this NIH RFI on limiting allowable publishing costs by 9/15. osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form... This is completely in conflict w/ the other new mandate that we must have our research be OA immediately (and publishers like Wiley not allowing submission to PMC immediately if we don't pay)..
