    People are not statistics.

    There are huge biases at play for why gender differences exist in the world place and most other places.

    Those biases carry on into the works we make, such as LLMs which are becoming hugely influential. To tackle these biases, we need to change how we view them. That means if the statistical average scientist is a white man, that we show more women and PoV to help them feel like they too can do this.

    tl;dr: We don’t need to reflect society as it currently is, we should aim to show how it can be.

    Because the biases in an AI model will shape the perception of people who may think about entering those fields more than a poster at a place where people have already entered those fields work at.

    Likewise you can train it out of a bias, just feed it more content showing diverse workforces and it will start weighing them higher.

    That’s nice American, why don’t you go focus on a real issue like gun control instead of fearing an imaginary future where fascists are in power but can only find public information about a person to persecute them with?

    Maybe you could focus on the lack of universal healthcare, rather than private insurance raising your prices.

    Stop focusing on imaginary future scenarios and focus on the actual real problems you have already. Because they don’t exist elsewhere and it’s got nothing to do with DNA information.

    Honestly most of these sound like America problems, insurance, employers digging through history, cars reporting to workplaces, etc.

    Companies already have profile information on me, or 95% accurate generalisations for my demographic. And no way would such price gouging tactics be allowed in my country.

    The most plausible ones, such as a government targeting me - well the only other option is to live my life underground and that defeats the whole purpose of pride. So yeah I’ll gladly risk being myself publicly in spite of the risks.

    Look at the end of the day, things could change 180 a new oppressive and more American like government could come in and make my life shitty. But the thing is, if they’ve already managed to come in, they’re going to make my life shitty regardless of what information I have out there.
