The first few articles in this collection are now published, including ours. I look forward to reading all. Our piece is not open access because of the ridiculous fees but the preprint linked at the end of the quoted thread (will link again below) is the accepted version of our commentary.

We further conceptualize ‘algorithmic bias’ as a novel form of implicit prejudice—in which human prejudices are 'laundered' via the opacity of AI—and introduce the idea of a computational level of prejudice that interacts with systemic and individual levels of analysis.

Ok so in grad school (or undergrad) I was taught to just compute an average score for participants in a scale if they complete at least X% of items (like 70-80%?). Is there like...a rationale to that or is it vibe-based?

This makes sense if you think that being born to immigrant parents is an unforgivable sin that not even patriotic martyrdom could ever atone for. And that’s how these people and their families will be treated once they’re in as well. Despicable.

We’ve gone from “the groups” must be cut out to actually the “coasts” can be ignored and everyday they’re hurtling faster and faster towards “well who else could the minorities vote for” as an explicit argument in this push for white reconciliation.

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe.

I think it's simultaneously this and the fact that many enthusiasts seem to have a narrow sense of what job tasks are/can look like. There's a lot of "you don't understand what AI can do" coming at some of us and a legitimate response is "you don't understand what I can do, and need to, in my job."

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

We can't measure attitudes directly...instead we use self-reports surveys. However, we use multiple items so we can cover the breadth and depth of these attitudes and we use statistical techniques to tell us how much of the variance in responses is due to the 'underlying construct'
