LLMs have a strong bias against use of African American English
Feedback gets rid of overt biases but leaves subtle racism intact.
"As far back as 2016, work on AI-based chatbots revealed that they have a disturbing tendency to reflect some of the worst biases of the society that trained them. But as large language models have become ever larger and subjected to more sophisticated training, a lot of that problematic behavior has been ironed out. For example, I asked the current iteration of ChatGPT for five words it associated with African Americans, and it responded with things like "resilience" and "creativity."
"But a lot of research has turned up examples where implicit biases can persist in people long after outward behavior has changed. So some researchers decided to test whether the same might be true of LLMs. And was it ever."

I really hope it has a successful return, so the teams are able to know systems worked.
The alternative result, which would justify the reason for the unoccupied return is not beneficial at all.

Looks nice.
But: I am a little bit sick of kiddy friendly colorful non-sensical games. It's the Fortnite-ism of the gaming industry, imho. Driven by greed.
Best example: Call of Duty.
It's called "Modern Warfare" or "Black Ops" and it sounds serious. But then multiplayer is hysterical as shit and has nothing to do with war scenarios any longer.
I hope Delta Force is not doing this shit ...
UK Universities are likely to extend access to Elsevier collection for another year, despite huge deficits of many Universities (including Cambridge).
See what MIT did:
2019 - MIT cancelled big deal and instead subscribed to 675 journals (of
about 2.5K available?)
2020 - they cancelled all Elsevier subscriptions - relying instead on
back-access and interlibrary loans.
Estimated savings: 80% of original spend - saving 2 million USD/year now...
