A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Stronger guardrails can help, sure. But getting new input and building a new model is the equivalent of replacing the entire vending machine with a different model by the same company if one is failing (by the old analogy).
The problem is that if you do the same thing with a llm for hiring or job systems, then the failure and bias instead is from the model being bigoted, which while illegal, is hidden in a model that is basically trained on how to be a more effective bigot.
You can't hide your race from the llm that was accidentally trained to know what job histories are traditionally black, or anything else.
