Hedy Lamarr and Misogyny

Treating Women Better Would Only Improve Society, You Know

I interviewed Advanced Google Gemini. My questions to it are in bold, and its responses are in normal text.

Do you know who Hedy Lamarr is?

Yes, Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor.

• Actress: She was a prominent Hollywood star during the 1930s and 1940s, known for her beauty and roles in films like “Algiers” and “Samson and Delilah.”
• Inventor: Lamarr co-developed an early technique for spread spectrum communications, a technology that is now essential for wireless communications like Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. Her work was largely unrecognized during her lifetime, but she has since been honored for her contributions to science and technology.

Would you like to know more about her acting career or her inventions?

Her inventions, please.

Hedy Lamarr’s most significant invention was a frequency-hopping spread spectrum communication system, which she co-developed with composer George Antheil during World War II.

The problem: At the time, radio-controlled torpedoes could be easily jammed by the enemy, rendering them ineffective.
