  1. 🤖 AI That Thinks Like Humans? Not Quite. 🧠

    LLMs like GPT claim human-level performance. But which humans?

    A new paper (“Which Humans?” by Atari et al.) shows LLMs reflect WEIRD minds — Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic — not humanity at large.

    ⚠️ The risk? Cultural homogenization, erased diversity, and “human-level” AI that mirrors only a narrow slice of the world.

  2. Today, I'm taking a mandatory course at work on cultural bias.I learned the important distinction between stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.

    -Stereotyping is how we THINK;
    -Prejudice us how we FEEL;
    -Discrimination is how we BEHAVE.

    Thank you to the Canada School of Public Service 🍁 for teaching me this valuable lesson.

    I reread it every few years. The first two sections are the best. If you like it, I recommend following it with American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard

    To counter the white-centric bias in both, I recommend also reading some of the People's History books like An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz.
