veeesix, to technology in Key misinformation “superspreaders” on Twitter: Older women
@veeesix@lemmy.ca avatar

So, it’s clear that a small subpopulation is preferentially tweeting links to sources of misinformation, and for many users, they’re the most significant source of exposure to these sites. So who are these people?

They’re a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They’re also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole. And, while much of the misinformation about the election largely circulated within Republican circles, only 64 percent of the superspreaders were registered Republicans (nearly 20 percent were registered as Democrats).

@veeesix@lemmy.ca avatar

Aha! That makes a lot more sense with that framing.

EDIT: In 2019 in Canada the daily residential average was 215L per day. 129L seems like a dream in contrast.

A quick search says 3.7L is the recommended intake for men, and 2.7L for women. Forget AI, Germans appear to be the real resource guzzlers!

Bdesign thought that the cut was small, like a paper cut, until blood started spurting out from the wound. The Tesla inspectors who were there and even described that the vehicle “can be dangerous” panicked but helped.

Oh good, multiple witnesses.

Don’t feel bad. You’re only getting downvoted because MacRumours didn’t post it first.

There’s something to be said about brand recognition, and Google just doesn’t listen.

@veeesix@lemmy.ca avatar

He argues that any shortcomings associated with using ChatGPT to write part of a law would also be present if humans take the reins. Kolodin said he didn’t see any pitfalls “that I don’t also see with relying on legislative attorneys to draft up legislation.”

Last I checked humans carried 100% of the liability.

@veeesix@lemmy.ca avatar

I imagine it’s fine to ask for a critique. Where I think it starts becoming an issue, however, is if people spam the community for every little detail through multiple posts.

Right, that’s just plagiarism.

I’m talking about the recent demos using AI to teach you subject matter via conversation. Seems like info retention could be higher.
