Grammarly's "expert review" - where AIs supposedly mimicing real experts provide feedback - has enrolled hundreds of experts without their consent. These seem to include philosophers. Anyone know which philosophers have been enrolled?
My father worked for ADL (in Australia). He wouldn't recognize it today.
Maybe? I would be very surprised if the legal sector was able to absorb the losses I think are coming in many others.
I'm confident that it will lead to the reduction of jobs in many sectors, not because they can do the job by themselves but because one person plus an LLM can do what it took (some number > 1) can do without one.
The surveys show most people know very little and are somewhat worried about it. Not as worried as they should do.
My p(doom) is not zero but not high. My p(really bad shit) is near 1.
We won't get a UBI in the foreseeable future. The AI honchos have convinced the powers-that-be that they need as much money as possible to "win the race with China". It would therefore be Wrong to tax them. Sam Altman has a solution: universal access to AI will make us all rich!
There are loads of people saying it's good on balance. They are governments, techbros and business types. Basically, everyone with the power to do something about it has bought a fantasy. AI will bring real benefits, some large, but it will also concentrate wealth and power much further.
What does 'great' mean here? If it means "good on balance," then I am very confident that's wrong. If it means a powerful and probably transformative piece of technology (where power includes epistemic power), I think that's true.
I always include two or three as a kind of easter egg for those playing at home.
From what I recall, M-P (never read Husserl) says something along the lines of "even that is entirely occluded is not entirely unseen."
Husserl and Merleau-Ponty both argued there is some sense in which we perceive the parts of objects that are occluded from vision.
The website for WIRES Cognitive Science (a journal I've published in) has this notice:
This material is only for use by healthcare professionals. By continuing to view this site you are confirming that you are a healthcare professional.
Seems....odd.
I’d be very surprised if the number didn’t fall to below 5% once you remove the trolls and other insincere responders.
this is good, because it works with people too.
Today and everyday.
Brian Magee on YouTube seems to give that pronunciation too. Is this just some oddity of weird anglication (making it sound *more* foreign)? Or does the name really have an odd pronunication?
I know the question everyone is asking themselves today is "how do I pronounce Husserl" (as in Edmund Husserl)? I was taught to pronounce it as if it were spelled "Hüssel"; i.e., to rhyme with "rüssel," rather than the way one would expect.
Over that distance, the decrease in speed through the air would be very small (I think). Pitching would reduce it considerably, so I guess it's speed to pitch. The batter has to respond to where it will be pitch, so I think it makes a difference only when it hits them.
A quick google tells me that three bowlers have been recorded at over 100 mph.
Bowling action? A guess.
There's no requirement to pitch (bounce) the ball. Bowlers do it because they don't like giving away easy runs.
One might think that if they wanted to be seen as the party to vote for on the left they might try being on the left.
I had no idea until I was about 10 that my "Auntie X" was in no way related to me.
There's not nothing to that thought: I think the person latched on to a word I used and intepreted everything I said in its light. It wasn't badly chosen - I used it because others have in the same context. But it could mislead.
Philosophers: is it important to reply to a paper? A recent paper in an excellent journal is a response to me. In favor of replying: it badly mischaterizes my views. Against, the first-order is a junior scholar who doesn't deserve dunking (and I can't see a way to gently point out how wrong it is).
That is, reminding me that they belong to a group that is stereotyped as bad at a task does not reliably reduce their performance as the early work claimed.
Stereotype threat is either a tiny effect or not real, sadly.
Reform's polling means I get to experience just a faint echo of what trans people, asylum seekers and immigrants experience regularly and much more strongly: the feeling that my right to exist is on the ballot.

It's not a very good paper, as it happens.
Everyone's doing it.
