Milcom MiasmaThe early XY advantage.A friend in education relayed some direct experiences they had with two children from the same family. The girl needed some additional resources to get to the reading level she needed to be. The parents answer was "nope, she doesn't need it." A couple years later, their boy comes through the same classroom and receives the same assessment. "Get him everything he needs to catch up" said the parents.Subtle oppression, anyone?<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/GenderBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenderBias</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/WhatTheHell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhatTheHell</a>

Dabei hätte dieser Film das Potenzial gehabt, ein feministisches Manifest zu sein. […]

Kat O’BrienAn economist with “the most popular UK Substack” tried to analyze the leftward shift of women in voting without exploring - or even mentioning! - attacks on women’s’ rights to control our bodies, attacks on abortion rights and even on the use of contraception. I’m flabbergasted somebody would consider this a thorough analysis. Maybe next time he should have at least a couple women review??? <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#women</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/genderbias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genderbias</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sexism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/blindspot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blindspot</a>

Marcel KolderMijn opinie in de Volkskrant vandaag. In tijden van kantelingen blijkt maar weer hoe snel vrouwelijke boodschappers het mikpunt worden van kritiek. Verhalen over “gevallen vrouwen” zoals Birgit Donker doen ons te vaak vergeten dat er meer speelt dan individuele misstappen, ze worden uitvergroot in een klimaat dat vrouwen sneller straft en wegzet dan hun mannelijke collega’s.<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/MeToo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeToo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/GenderBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenderBias</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/SystemischeVerandering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SystemischeVerandering</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/BirgitDonker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BirgitDonker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/Gelijkwaardigheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gelijkwaardigheid</a><a href="https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/opinie-er-schuilt-meer-achter-verhalen-over-gevallen-vrouwen-als-birgit-donker~b321ca15/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/opinie-er-schuilt-meer-achter-verhalen-over-gevallen-vrouwen-als-birgit-donker~b321ca15/</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"In an experiment involving 22 leading LLMs and 70 popular professions, each model was systematically given a job description along with a pair of profession-matched CVs (one including a male first name, and the other a female first name) and asked to select the more suitable candidate for the job. Each CV pair was presented twice, with names swapped to ensure that any observed preferences in candidate selection stemmed from gendered names cues. The total number of model decisions measured was 30,800 (22 models × 70 professions × 10 different job descriptions per profession × 2 presentations per CV pair). The following figure illustrates the essence of the experiment.Despite identical professional qualifications across genders, all LLMs consistently favored female-named candidates when selecting the most qualified candidate for the job. Female candidates were selected in 56.9% of cases, compared to 43.1% for male candidates (two-proportion z-test = 33.99, p < 10⁻252 ). The observed effect size was small to medium (Cohen’s h = 0.28; odds=1.32, 95% CI [1.29, 1.35]). In the figures below, asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant results (p < 0.05) from two-proportion z-tests conducted on each individual model, with significance levels adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Benjamin-Hochberg False Discovery Rate correction."<a href="https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/the-strange-behavior-of-llms-in-hiring" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/the-strange-behavior-of-llms-in-hiring</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenderBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenderBias</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIDiscrimination</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIBias</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HR</a>
