> _“People who detest #prejudice, […] instead of trying to make differences go away, they accentuate them. How? By building group #identity. […] If you want prejudice to go away, don’t tell people to be proud of their identities. Instead, ask them to focus on our common humanity – the sense that our differences are ‘only skin-deep.’ If you must have a sense of identity, make it not proud but casual.”_

#RoaldDahl is part of my childhood. I find this irritating and stupid. Young readers are smarter than their #woke guardians.

📣 **PSA:**

Most of the disappointment, outrage and fear that #ChatGPT, #Bing, etc are provoking these days can be cured by internalising this very simple idea:

#Chatbots and #DeepLearning models **do NOT produce truth, knowledge or wisdom**, therefore you should NOT trust them with anything important.

That's it.

Being shocked or alarmed because one of those tools gave the wrong answer to a kindergarten-level question or spat out a racist rant is so naive. If you don't trust politicians, salespeople or TV series, why should you trust ChatGPT? Just don't!

> _“Politicians get elected by telling us we can have our cake and eat it, too. The only thing that’s passed for bipartisanship over the past four decades is reckless spending. Democrats want more social spending, Republicans want lower taxes. OK, let’s compromise — do both and fuck over our grandkids.”_

Si queréis promover la participación femenina en sub-áreas concretas (p.ej. en ingeniería de minas), o pedir que mejoren los salarios de las mujeres en los campos en los que estén desequilibrados, creo que por coherencia y por justicia, deberíais

* no generalizar hablando de «mujeres» en «la ciencia», porque es una simplificación que ayuda a mantener vivo el mito de que las mujeres, así en general, están en desventaja en la ciencia en España, así en general,
* denunciar también los aspectos en los que son los hombres los peor valorados (p.ej. [a la hora de contratar profesores de STEM](https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1418878112)),
* denunciar a la vez que hay áreas científicas en las que los hombres son la (a veces muy exigua) minoría (en el curso 2020/2021, entre los recién titulados de máster: 48% de fisioterapeutas, 45% de arquitectos, 44% de veterinarios, 35% de biólogos y bioquímicos, 34% de médicos, 32% de dentistas, 29% de farmacéuticos, 27% de nutricionistas, 24% de neurocientíficos, 22% de enfermeros, 16% de psicólogos, 13% de logopedas… [fuente](https://www.universidades.gob.es/estadistica-de-estudiantes/)).
