#generativeAI experiment : for the page of software package, I am trying to generate a woman computer vision scientist in a superman costume...
I tried different ways to force the generated images to depict a woman, but with no success : I only get the same male scientist!

Last night I dreamed that the great computer scientist, Niklaus Wirth, had died by suicide because he was convinced his intellect was failing, because a simple financial calculation was failing, because he'd caught an exception and just returned zero instead of handling it, because he'd written sketch code and meant to come back and deal with it later but had not done so.
Which is almost certainly all arrant nonsense, but what a BIZARRE thing to dream about.

Computer scientist Greg Nelson and I presented "Following AI's Footsteps from School to Society" at the 2025 UMaine Faculty Institute mycampus.maine.edu/web/uc-facu including the IMPACT RISK framew…

The IMPACT RISK acronym covers:

* Infowar (disinformation)
* Monopoly (centralization)
* Plagiarism (appropriation)
* Automation (job loss)
* Climate (footprint)
* Tainted Data (bias)
* Reality Distortion (fabrications)
* Injustice (exploitation)
* Stereotyping (cliches)
* Knockoff Experiences (shortcuts).

These downsides are explained in detail in the explainer page at https://AI-Impact-Risk.com. All infographics are public domain so no attribution is needed.
