new from me: I’ve teamed up with @anastasiabekt to explore why so much policy work is basically pointless. We walk through the mistakes tech companies, consultancies, think tanks, and lobbyists make, how it impoverishes debate, and how we can improve it. 🧵

1. Firms that lure workers with false earnings claims are breaking the law. @FTC has taken action against @Lyft for deceiving drivers about how much they could expect to earn on its platform. We've ordered Lyft to stop this conduct & pay $2.1 million. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

If you want to see the other graph you need, to understand our world, it is this one. It depicts the rising wealth/income ratio. Basically, the value of all wealth (businesses, real estate, financial assets, etc) is rising much faster than all income (which is just GDP).

Effective Altruism—which comes from the Greek “effectos” meaning utilitarianism and “alte” meaning utilitarianism—is a utilitarian theory of utilitarianism according to which we should maximise utility by stealing attention from progressive causes to promote utilitarianism. 🧵

NEW: Should Europe invest billions in A𝗜? Without redirecting the current trajectory, Europe's industrial policy risks further entrenching Big tech's dominance. But there are alternative pathways forward! This collection of essays by @AINowInstitute sets out to provide EU policy makers with policy research, perspectives, and evidence about the challenges of expanding public investment in a highly concentrated global AI market. ainowinstitute.org/redirecting-eu… Curated by: @F_Kaltheuner @SaariLeevi @ambaonadventure @sarahbmyers Contributors incl: @francesca_bria @CeciliaRikap @sarahchander @ZWarso @Caffar3Cristina @sedyst @margaridasilva2 @JeroenMerk @kimvsparrentak @burcuno @thornet @udbhav_tiwari @franzbonf @FiekeJ @markscott82

Maybe people who believe LLMs can reason are actually using a different meaning of 'reason', which is exactly the same as ours except it also includes pattern matching by LLMs 🤔🤔🤔
Reuben Binns @[email protected]@RDBinns

'LLMs can't really reason, they just pattern match' Wittgenstein: 'ah, but how do we know they aren't following their own private reasoning rules which are the same as ours, except when the reasoning problem has superficial differences to their training data?'

"A new paper from Apple draws attention to a persistent problem in LLMs: their reliance on pattern matching rather than genuine logical reasoning. As a result, adding irrelevant information—can lead to vastly different answers from the models." macrumors.com/2024/10/14/app…

@obiriders NYC has a min wage formula that penalizes companies for inefficiency. The busier drivers seem, the less each ride is worth. To keep wages low, Uber and Lyft inflate driver efficiency stats by erasing idle time. We estimate millions at stake monthly. bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…
