They also evaluated leaning using both an LLM-based classifier and human coders. LLM was much more likely to consider as neutral content that humans saw as biased. There were also important differences when considering all suggestions or only the ones that appeared in the top 3

By developing a bot system that can pretend to be human, Iris and her colleagues can do these comparisons at scale. In particular, they asked if queries for terms such as "Israel" or "Gaza" were offered different results and leanings if asked from different locations and using different languages

To the prof who told a full class that it was a hard time to be female because we could no longer cook or sew but couldn’t do physics either
To another who asked me out on a date during class
To the teacher who assured my classmate that his 100% grade was higher than my 100%
Happy “no thanks” day

I heard Mark Zuckerberg's 3hours with Joe Rogan (so you don't have to)
These broligarchs are seriously concerned with the #DSA #DMA #AIAct rules on transparency and accountability. MZ refers to the EU fines as tariffs and is clearly expecting Trump to fight them
Just hope the #EU keeps strong
