  • If someone asked me to write a metafictional short story, I would simply not.

    I consider this a valuable lesson from my college education.

  • I thought of a phrase whilst riding the subway and couldn't remember if I had read it somewhere. Anybody recall it?

    Rationalists will never use one word when fourteen will do.

    • I find absolutely consistently that gen-AI advocates are literally unable to tell good output from bad output. They think people who say their output is garbage are just lying to have a go at them.

  • "Democracy of ghosts" is from Nabokov's Pnin.

    He did not believe in an autocratic God. He did believe, dimly, in a democracy of ghosts. The souls of the dead, perhaps, formed committees, and these, in continuous session, attended to the destinies of the quick.

  • Hashemi and Hall (2020) published research demonstrating that convolutional neural networks could distinguish between "criminal" and "non-criminal" facial images with a reported accuracy of 97% on their test set. While this paper was later retracted for ethical concerns rather than methodological flaws,

    That's not really a sentence that should begin with "While", now, is it?

    it highlighted the potential for facial analysis to extend beyond physical attributes into behavior prediction.

    What the fuck is wrong with you?

  • The Columbia Journalism Review does a study and finds the following:

    • Chatbots were generally bad at declining to answer questions they couldn’t answer accurately, offering incorrect or speculative answers instead.
    • Premium chatbots provided more confidently incorrect answers than their free counterparts.
    • Multiple chatbots seemed to bypass Robot Exclusion Protocol preferences.
    • Generative search tools fabricated links and cited syndicated and copied versions of articles.
    • Content licensing deals with news sources provided no guarantee of accurate citation in chatbot responses.
