> When VLMs make errors, they don't make random mistakes. Instead, 75.70% of all errors are "bias-aligned" - meaning they give the expected answer based on prior knowledge rather than what they actually see in the image.
Yeah, that's exactly what our paper said 5 years ago!
They didn't even cite us :(
"Measuring Social Biases in Grounded Vision and Language Embeddings" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.08911
I think social biases (e.g. angry black women stereotype) in your paper is different from cognitive biases about facts (e.g. number of legs, whether lines are parallel) that OP is about.
Social biases are subjective. Facts are not.
Reminds me of Yasha Berchenko-Kogan’s excellent answer to the question “What do grad students in math do all day?”

Is this the price in just components? I skimmed through the article and that wasn't clear. Because if it doesn't include labor costs, then its reasonable that the US phone sells for a lot more.
Your question prompted me to look up “cost of goods sold”.
From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cogs.asp
> Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs of producing the goods sold by a company. This amount includes the cost of the materials and labor directly used to create the good. It excludes indirect expenses, such as distribution costs and sales force costs.
So the $550 or $650 COGS includes the cost of labor for manufacturing, but excludes (say) marketing and auditing costs.

Just these past few days, a fatal accident in China killed three college students in a car fire and the victims could not unlock the car door.

> Chinese newspaper Economic Observer earlier reported that local traffic police had told the father of one of the victims that the car had caught fire after hitting the cement pole, and the car key had not unlocked the door.
