Summary: We found that LLMs exhibit significant race and gender bias in realistic hiring scenarios, but their chain-of-thought reasoning shows zero evidence of this bias. This serves as a nice example of a 100% unfaithful CoT "in the wild" where the LLM strongly suppresses the unfaithful behavior. We also find that interpretability-based interventions succeeded while prompting failed, suggesting this may be an example of interpretability being the best practical tool for a real world problem.For context on our paper, the tweet thread is here and the paper is here.Context: Chain of Thought Faithfulness Chain of Thought (CoT) monitoring has emerged as a popular research area in AI safety. The idea is simple - have the AIs reason in English text when solving a problem, and monitor the reasoning for misaligned behavior. For example, OpenAI recently published a paper on using CoT monitoring to detect reward hacking during [...] ---Outline:(00:49) Context: Chain of Thought Faithfulness(02:26) Our Results(04:06) Interpretability as a Practical Tool for Real-World Debiasing(06:10) Discussion and Related Work--- First published: July 2nd, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/me7wFrkEtMbkzXGJt/race-and-gender-bias-as-an-example-of-unfaithful-chain-of --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Welcome to a Tale Teller Club Publishing Podcast.Behind the Mask: Understanding Female Masking in Autism and the Push for Earlier Diagnoses.For decades, the narrative surrounding autism has been overwhelmingly male. Diagnostic criteria were originally developed based on studies of young boys, leaving a vast number of autistic girls and women misdiagnosed—or not diagnosed at all. The consequences of this oversight are profound, particularly when it comes to the phenomenon of female masking.What is Female Masking?Female masking refers to the ways many autistic women (and AFAB nonbinary individuals) consciously or subconsciously camouflage their autistic traits in order to blend in socially. This includes mimicking social behaviors, scripting conversations, suppressing stims, and copying facial expressions or body language from peers. It's a survival tactic often developed from an early age to avoid bullying, exclusion, or being labeled as "weird."While masking may provide short-term social inclusion, the long-term costs are significant. Many women report chronic exhaustion, anxiety, depression, identity confusion, and even burnout—a condition similar to chronic fatigue triggered by years of performing neurotypical behavior under pressure.Why Do Autistic Women Go Undiagnosed?There are several intersecting factors:Gender Bias in Diagnostic Tools: Most traditional autism tests were based on male presentations—such as overt repetitive behaviors or obvious communication delays—which may not manifest the same way in girls and women.Social Conditioning: From a young age, girls are often socialized to be more compliant, empathetic, and nurturing. This can make autistic traits less noticeable or easier to mask.Misdiagnoses: Many women are first diagnosed with anxiety, borderline personality disorder, OCD, or eating disorders—conditions that can co-occur with or mask autism.Internalized Ableism: Some women internalize a belief that their struggles are moral failings rather than neurological differences, leading to shame, silence, and missed opportunities for help.What Is Being Done to Change This?The tide is slowly turning, thanks in large part to advocacy by autistic women, researchers, and clinicians pushing for better awareness and tools.1. Redesigning Diagnostic CriteriaEfforts are underway to broaden and update autism diagnostic frameworks to account for female and nonbinary presentations. This includes recognizing more subtle signs like:Social exhaustion after brief interactionsPreference for deep, solitary special interestsEmotional hypersensitivity or meltdowns behind closed doorsExtreme self-monitoring and perfectionismThe use of gender-sensitive screening tools, such as the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) and revised checklists from clinicians like Dr. Judith Gould and Dr. Tony Attwood, are helping professionals identify masking patterns more effectively.2. Increased Awareness Among ProfessionalsAutism training for GPs, psychologists, and school staff is beginning to include modules on how autism presents differently in women and girls. Early years educators are being taught to spot non-disruptive behaviors and social exhaustion as potential signs, rather than only focusing on the more classically male behaviors like aggression or non-verbal communication.3. Autistic Women Sharing Their StoriesThe voices of late-diagnosed women are having a profound impact. Memoirs, blogs, podcasts, and social media accounts have created a thriving neurodivergent community where stories are shared, identities are affirmed, and others are encouraged to seek assessments.Authors such as Sarah Hendrickx, Laura James, and Dr. Camilla Pang have brought autism in women into the public eye, challenging the outdated image of what autism "looks like."4. Advocacy for Earlier, Affordable AssessmentCampaigns are now fighting to:Shorten NHS waitlists for autism assessmentsMake private assessments financially accessibleEncourage school-based referrals that look beyond disruptive behaviorRemove gendered bias from early years evaluationsAdditionally, there's growing awareness of intersectional barriers—for instance, how autistic women of color or those from low-income backgrounds are even more likely to be misdiagnosed or dismissed.Toward a Future of Acceptance and Early InterventionFemale masking is not just a clinical issue—it's an emotional one. It speaks to the lengths so many autistic individuals go to in order to survive in a world that isn't designed for them. By understanding and dismantling the biases that lead to late or missed diagnoses, we're moving closer to a world where girls and women on the spectrum are seen, supported, and celebrated from the beginning.Early diagnosis isn't about labels—it's about liberation. It's about giving individuals the language, tools, and confidence to unmask safely and thrive authentically.This is a LitBits broadcast for tale teller club publishing.

What can film reviews tell us about gender bias in the movie industry?Dr Wael Khreich from the American University of Beirut explores this question with Genderly, a custom-built AI tool that analyses the language of 17,000 professional reviews. His findings reveal that female-led films are far more likely to be judged through a biased lens—subtly and overtly reinforcing stereotypes. This research sheds light on how language shapes perception, influences careers, and contributes to broader societal inequalities.Read the original research: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0316093

My conversation with Dr. Kasi Lacey speaks to a common experience among many; a woman and leader confronting the glass ceiling in an organization.Kasi was passed over more than once for positions she was eminently qualified for “because they were instructed to hire a man…” Her encounter with gender bias became an inflection point; she did a new thing and made the decision to walk in and “act like a man” and demand the job she had more than earned. Kasi deliberately mimicked the hubris and assertion of a man who once came to her office demanding a promotion of his own. It worked.As a bi-racial woman who presents “white” - Dr. Lacey shares her experiences with racism as well as toxic leadership and hustle culture. We also discuss the complexities of a “fake it til you make it” mentality and the significance of listening to one's inner voice as a means of empowerment and self-trust. Join the conversation!Guest Bio:I'm Kasi—a, psychologist, confidence coach, bi-racial woman, mother, and former C-suite leader who left the structured world of higher education to pursue a bigger mission: helping women step into unshakable confidence and unapologetic leadership.For years, I played by the rules—earning my Ph.D. at 26, climbing the leadership ranks, and breaking barriers in male-dominated spaces. I fought to get my seat at the table, only to realize my ladder was leaning against the wrong building. I had checked all the boxes of success, yet I still felt like I was playing small.That no longer works for me.I built my own business, H & L Legacy Consulting, to help high-achieving women overcome imposter syndrome, advocate for themselves, and lead with confidence. Whether it's navigating workplace challenges, negotiating salaries, or owning their worth, I believe that when women stop doubting themselves, they change industries, organizations, and lives—including their own.Website: https://www.kasilacey.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkasilacey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drkasilaceyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-kasi-lacey-207815110/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drkasilacey  Oh, and fun fact?

Send us a textThis week, we dive deep into the land of make-believe — or as the government calls it: science and progress. NASA apparently left a rocket ship chilling in the Everglades like it's an abandoned sofa. No mission, no explanation, just vibes.Then we look into the OpenAI whistleblower who definitely didn't suicide himself with two shots to the head. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. Just "AI safety."Mr. Wang allegedly took a SpaceX trip to “view the poles,” while Katy Perry hitched a ride with Blue Origin — but somehow, that still counted as going to the “edge of space.” There's no footage, no launch, and nobody remembers seeing either of them go up — so naturally, it's 100% real.Speed (yes, that Speed) went to China to tour cities built with tech the U.S. paid for. Meanwhile, Mexico had a guy in the '70s building pyramids based on alien instructions — but hey, he was probably just “crazy,” right?We cover the latest UAP sightings, Google Gemini's new mind-reading glasses, and chemtrails proudly sprayed across our skies like it's cologne for the atmosphere. No longer a conspiracy — it's a vibe.And in this week's segment of “What TikTok Allows,” it turns out violence against men is totally fine... but say something about a woman? Banned.Also:Xi Jinping's daughter is living that all-American Ivy League life at Harvard (plot twist),The government can manipulate time and space now (no big deal),There's a human-robot marathon happening (Skynet is warming up),And a PSA: if you're talking loud on your phone while paying and making everyone wait — you're the villain. YouTube Keywords:NASA Everglades RocketOpenAI whistleblower suicideKaty Perry Blue OriginMr. Wang SpaceX polesChinese smart citiesUAP sightings 2025Alien pyramid builder MexicoGoogle Gemini glassesChemtrail exposureTikTok gender biasXi Jinping daughter HarvardGovernment time manipulationHuman robot marathonPodcast conspiracy newsR2 Cents podcastOscar podcastNew world order 2025Tech stolen by ChinaHarvard elite familiesReal reason for chemtrails Links & Support: R2 Cents Store:  https://my-store-107a697.creator-spring.com Buy Oscar a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/r2cents Official Site: www.r2centswoscar.com Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Racso_Studios Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/r2_cents/ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/r2_cents Produced by: Bryan

The broken rung. It's that invisible hurdle, that subtle yet persistent barrier that keeps so many talented women from climbing the ladder. Think of it like trying to run a race with a shoelace tied to your ankle – you can still move, but you're definitely not at your full speed. Today, we're diving deep with Lareina Yee, a powerhouse from McKinsey Global Institute, and co-author of "The Broken Rung. Wrong. When the career ladder breaks for women and how they can succeed in spite of it." Lareina's is here to shed light on the strategies that can help us navigate this tricky terrain, reminding us that we're not alone in this journey. Let's unravel the hidden ingredients, the superhero tactics, and the research-backed strategies that can help us all succeed, even when the ladder feels a little… wobbly. Key Themes: The Persistent Broken Rung: The core issue starts at the entry-level promotion, where women are significantly less likely to advance than men, creating a ripple effect throughout their careers. Experience Capital: 50% of a woman's lifetime earnings come from on-the-job learning, highlighting the importance of strategic career moves and seeking out roles that build valuable experience. The Power Alley (P&L Roles): Securing profit and loss roles is crucial for career advancement, as they provide essential business acumen and are often a stepping stone to leadership positions. Strategic Risk-Taking (Big, Bold Moves): Embracing opportunities with significant skill distance can lead to substantial career growth and personal development. The Importance of Allies: Men and women both play critical roles in dismantling systemic barriers. Men in power can be particularly effective allies by providing mentorship, sponsorship, and active support. Actionable Takeaway: Be your own advocate and seek out experience capital. Don't wait for opportunities to come to you. Actively pursue roles that challenge you and build your skills, especially in areas like P&L and technology. Take the initiative to learn new technologies like AI and refashion your role. Learn more about Lareina Yee at McKinsey and Julie Kratz at nextpivotpoint.com

Behind every psychiatric label lies a question: Is this person mentally ill, or just misunderstood by medicine? When Dr. Kaycee Bills, a social work professor with a PhD, experienced a medical emergency from low blood pressure, she was handcuffed, sedated, and locked in a psychiatric ward instead of receiving proper care. Her crime? Being a woman whose scattered Adderall pills looked "suspicious" to authorities. This shocking personal account reveals how women are systematically disbelieved by the medical establishment—diagnosed with depression and anxiety at twice the rate of men, while serious physical conditions go untreated for years. Join Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Bills as they expose the dark underbelly of psychiatric holds, forced medication, and how the mental health system often traumatizes those it claims to help.

Women in arts administration make up over half of the workforce. Yet arts leadership roles — on stage and off — are still male dominated. This episode, Aubrey shares some shocking statistics from the field and explains why this paradox is so common in arts organizations (Hint: it's not just about getting more women in the C-suite; the problem starts earlier than you might think). And most important, how arts administrators can change their systems to address gender bias in their own institutions.

What if the most common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in women aren't the ones doctors are trained to recognize? In this episode, Dr. Megan Durr, an otolaryngologist from the University of California San Francisco, discusses obstructive sleep apnea in women with host Dr. Gopi Shah.  The doctors explore how symptoms in women differ from men, leading to missed diagnoses. They delve into the lack of literature on the topic and the potential for underrepresented groups to be overlooked. The conversation highlights the need for more inclusive screening tools and the long-term cardiovascular risks women face due to untreated sleep apnea. Dr. Durr emphasizes the importance of better diagnosing and treating sleep apnea in women.  TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction  00:18 - Recognizing Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Women  00:36 - Pregnancy and Obstructive Sleep Apnea  01:13 - Menopause and Sleep Disorders  01:59 - Underrepresented Groups and OSA 02:47 - Symptoms and Misdiagnosis in Women  04:40 - Screening Questionnaires and Gender Bias  05:59 - Clinical Observations and Gender Disparities  09:39 - Long-term Effects of OSA in Women  CHECK OUT THE FULL EPISODE BackTable ENT Podcast Episode #182 Understanding OSA in Women with Dr. Megan Durr https://www.backtable.com/shows/ent/podcasts/182/understanding-osa-in-women

Why I am talking more about men for this years International Women's Day.   In all transparency, last IWD I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of celebrating another day filled with purple balloons, cupcakes and being told to hug ourselves.  The whole thing was starting to make me cringe.  How will all this smash the patriarchy? Now this sounds crazy to you and me both because I know how important days like this are for raising awareness - thats the whole point of awareness days / weeks / months, but that's just the thing - has it lost it's way? For me its about reminding everyone why it's still important to work on gender equity because we are still not there yet and the recent and some that seem neverending events around the world where by women and children are the ones really feeling the dire and often demoralising consequences are enough to make anyone think why bother? However this is exactly why we need to.  The time is NOW. There's a lot of despair in the world right now around women's rights and gender equity. I cannot believe what I am seeing.I feel like we are going backwards; although maybe this is what others want us to believe; in fact maybe it's just the opposite. This concerning pushback threatens bodily autonomy, sees increasing gender-based violence, and systemic barriers that hold women and marginalised communities back. So this moment is not just about defending progress; it's about driving change forward. And as change gains momentum so does pushback. And in Florence's words "It's always darkest before the dawn". And this is why I see the huge and powerful place for male allyship now more than ever.  Those men that get it.  Those men that can see the harmful impact that lack of inclusivity and equity has for women in the world.  I have started sharing male allies when I see them over on my insta stories @nomorehiningco and saving them in a highlight in case you ever need a reminder that they are out there.   Because that's the thing - No More Hiding isn't just about women being more visible, it's about everyone being more visible for the things that matter - speaking out and sharing their lived experiences and ideas about how we can be more inclusive and hear more perspectives around those decision making tables.  Thats how we make a difference and thats how change happens  So in this series we explore the crucial role male allies play in creating more equitable workplaces.  We'll dive into why male allyship is essential—not just for women's career progression, but for building healthier, more successful organizations overall. When we talk about workplace gender equality, the focus often falls on policies and initiatives. But true change doesn't happen without action—and that's where male allies come in. In this series, we'll unpack what real allyship looks like, why it's not enough to just “support” women behind the scenes, and how visibility and advocacy from men can make all the difference. Throughout the series, we'll be joined by industry leaders, workplace culture experts, and professionals who have firsthand experience with allyship in action. We'll explore the challenges, the impact, and the simple yet powerful ways men can step up in their workplaces. From amplifying women's voices in meetings to actively advocating for equal opportunities, we'll break down what meaningful allyship looks like—and why it benefits everyone. I saw a quote that struck a chord with me from Lilly tomlin and she said “ I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that..theh I realised I was somebody” So, if you're ready to learn, challenge assumptions, and take action, you're in the right place. -------------- Book a chat with Gemma - This is the place to book a call to see how Gemma can help you or your company support female leaders to raise their profile, increase performance and visibility and build more allies.   Get the White Paper > ‘Visibility at Work: The Importance of Self Promotion for Women's Career Progression   I want to hear from YOU so get in touch with me:   Connect with your host Gemma Stow: Website: https://www.gemmastow.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmastow/ LinkedIn: Business Page https://www.linkedin.com/company/no-more-hiding/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomorehidingco Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/gemmastow.bsky.social

Jeraldine Phneah, Content Creator & Account Director of one of the top AI SaaS companies, and Jeremy Au discussed: Journalism to Enterprise Tech Sales: Jeraldine studied journalism and public policy but pivoted to enterprise tech sales in 2016 for financial stability, future-proofing, and work-life balance. Initially hesitant, she realized B2B SaaS focused on problem-solving and improving efficiency and saw how technology streamlined workflows and freed up time. Her role involved research, contract negotiations, and internal coordination. The job provided autonomy and senior client exposure but came with high pressure, performance scrutiny, and a drinking culture. Sales remains an unconventional career in Singapore, where government and engineering roles are more common. Establishing credibility was an added challenge, as leadership and client interactions were largely male-dominated. Sales Gender Bias & Online Scrutiny: She encountered gender biases ranging from inappropriate client remarks to doubts about her competence in tech sales. Raised by a father who championed gender equality, she expected fewer barriers but found workplace realities different. While tech firms promoted inclusivity, biases emerged in external client interactions. Sales leadership remained male-dominated, making credibility harder to establish. Content creation brought harsher gendered criticism, with scrutiny often shifting from ideas to appearance, something male creators rarely faced. Adjustments like neutral-toned attire and refined messaging helped manage perceptions. Unlike in sales, where company policies offered some protection, content creation left her exposed to unfiltered public backlash. Online Discourse Shifting Norms & Content Creation: A 2015 blog post about Lee Kuan Yew's legacy sparked backlash due to timing and tone, shaping Jeraldine's approach to content. She learned that framing and sensitivity mattered as much as the message. The digital landscape made past content permanent, increasing scrutiny on young creators. Singapore's online discourse favors diplomacy over confrontation, unlike Western norms. She and Jeremy reflected on how younger generations now curate their digital presence more carefully and how content creation remains a powerful tool, but requires balancing authenticity with audience perception and societal expectations. They also discussed Singapore's rising cost of living, the shifting housing market, workplace well-being, the role of private universities in career progression, and how cultural norms influence leadership and communication styles.  Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/jeraldine-phneah2 Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts

Fact: Women account for over 40% of the fan bases of the NFL, MLB, and NHL.  Fact: Women comprise 47.7% of viewership of Super Bowl 58.  Fact: Media coverage of women's sports has nearly tripled in the last five years.  So why isn't a female voicing this? "NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship. Attendance is encouraged. Passion is mandatory. Buy your tickets today at ncaa.com."  And why can't a female voice this? "It's more than the Super Bowl. It's the Super Bowl in Las Vegas."  When it comes to advertising sports, movies, and brands that women spend time and money supporting, women want to see and hear women promoting them.  So how can we let the higher-ups know what we really want? Well, when there's no door to kick in, we have to build one. It's time to start building doors for women to walk through.  Because after all, kicking them in just ruins our shoes.

Patriarchy is a power that steals, kills, and destroys. But in the darkness, the Spirit of God hovers, waiting to give birth to new life. Danielle Strickland joins us today to shed light on this critical issue facing the church. Danielle unpacks how patriarchy has deeply distorted our view of God, the scriptures, and the flourishing of men and women together. She shares how this male-centered ordering of the world has undermined women's confidence and value, and how it stands in stark contrast to God's design for mutual flourishing. Yet Danielle also offers hope. She calls us to see the powerful witness of women throughout scripture - from Hagar to Mary Magdalene. And she challenges men to step up, to confront the systems of patriarchy, and to disproportionately invest in empowering women. This is a conversation that gets to the heart of the gospel - a message of life, not death; a vision of mutual empowerment, not domination. Danielle's words have the potential to shift the very culture of the church. So join us. Danielle lets Love lead her to inspire, challenge, provoke and disrupt the present, and to live the future now. Having lived in different cultures and contexts around the world she celebrates diversity and deeply longs for wrong things to be made right. Danielle practises following Jesus daily. This pursuit has led to exciting entrepreneurial exploits (like co-founding multiple charities and non-profits) and a whole host of failures (that we don't as often talk about). All of this has convinced her of the deep need we all have for hope, faith, and love. Her deepest longing is to demonstrate what living that boundless life looks like.Danielle has written six books (the latest is The Other Side of Hope), has a podcast called The Right Side Up (which recently celebrated half-a-million downloads), and speaks to people at events all over the world. Danielle leads Boundless Communications Inc. which launches creative exploits like Women Speakers Collective (liberating voices of women around the globe), IMBY (a tiny home movement IN MY BACKYARD), Brave Global (preventing human trafficking), Infinitum (a way of living deeply), and Hagar's Voice (support and advocacy for survivors of abuse). Danielle lives in Vancouver, Canada with her three sons and husband Steve. Danielle loves getting outside, doing new things, physical adventures, and she can't seem to turn down a free lunch.Danielle's Book:Need to KnowDanielle's Recommendations:The PowerJoin Our Patreon for Early Access and More: PatreonConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

This shift led her and Allison to establish GoldJam in 2014, leveraging their theatrical backgrounds to coach professionals in communication.The early days of GoldJam were a mix of performances and coaching. Jen and Allison joined a co-working space in New York, which played a crucial role in gaining their first clients, including BuzzFeed and Lean Startup Machine. Jen emphasized the importance of adaptability and persistence, highlighting the balance she and Allison brought to their partnership—Allison as the "gas" and Jen as the "brakes."In 2021, Jen became the sole owner of GoldJam after Allison shifted her focus to comedy. Jen now runs the business independently, with a team of facilitators who assist with training, social media, and newsletters.
