Many of ChatGPT's biases are well documented. Many other biases no doubt remain undetected as-of-yet, and even more are likely undetectable.

You might be interested in our guest speaker next week (Thursday, 3/23/23), 7 - 8:15p (CDT).
We will have Dr. Per Bylund speaking on the topic: "Anarchism & Anarcho-Capitalism -- What does it mean to have 'rules without rulers'?"
The following week, we will have a debate on the topic between Dr. Per Bylund and Dr. Randall Holcombe (Professor of Economics at Florida State University).
Both events will be livestreamed via InsideOSU.com.
Are you planning on posting the talks to Hive(threespeak or something)?
I plan to make an announcement post, with a link to the livestream, which will be updated with a link to the archive recording afterwards.
