Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...

AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).

I'm thinking about this partly because of the Cornell news but also partly because of The Love Hypothesis, which is being pitched as a cute romance but is personally horrifying to read / watch as a woman in STEM. (I know the author is also a woman in STEM and honestly I don't get that at all.)

ICE's new policy is unprecedented. People who have detained for months are suddenly disappearing from the locator system — even if they haven't been moved. And people newly arrested are not showing up at all, their location now hidden from view. This will severely interfere with legal access.

Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?

The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”
