@glosseantics @Jacobkupp did you see this stuff philneel.substack.com/p/lesser-gods-…

@Jacobkupp i think there's this perception that its mostly like 'people in the third world being paid pennies a day' bc of like the mechturk period but afaict [tho my perception may be skewed] its people in people in first/second world countries w/ some post-secondary school but unable 2

the amount of people i know are posting AI safety 9 hrs/day while doing data annotation gig work for sub-minimum wage and not discussing that aspect at all [in hopes of a future job never to come...] BRO! YOU ARE CURRENTLY BEING EXPLOITED!! NOW! IN THE AGI-LESS PRESENT!!!

Emperor X Sad React directly into Jeff Rosenstock -Post is very good

What’s the matter, American Socialist, afraid you might feel something other than bland obligation

@klarnic_debt Interestingly the British system is fake (1 year MA lmao; 4 year PhD with no classes lmao what) but they believe that grades are Ontologically Real (there are ~3 layers of people bureaucratically checking that my "marking" Complies with Standards

@klarnic_debt feel this really fucking hard. when I was in grad school I was kind of anti-ivory-tower or whatever but now I'm turning into a "WHERE ARE THE STANDARDS" and "THIS IS NOT REAL DATA" purist

American academia somehow being both realer and faker than higher ed in other countries

my wokest pedagogical take [and i have many!] is that the Humanities Course most necessary and implementable for STEM students [esp those going 2 industry] is an ethnographic methods course. learning to watch, discuss, explain, and present how You and Others Do Things

@SanNuvola academic publishing needs to be burned to the ground 👍

@nocitizens happened to me with a book chapter. Converted some numbers in date format for no reason, and inserted random acronyms for stuff that shouldn't have been abbreviated

just did proofs for an article in a major academic publisher -- the proof process seems to have been outsourced to some kind of AI tool, as I'm not sure how a human would have managed to fuck up the capitalization of first names in a random selection of sources

I think this is basically right

@libertyelysium fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

这下有理由遣返寻求庇护的mtf了

@xoayquanh I do think they're getting better (at giving conventional wisdom)

@xoayquanh kind of weird though, like sometimes they will also still give you nonconventional info / ideas without contextualizing

like I can't get over how it rendered (names changed) Editors: Smith JOHN Yee anita he Montes rigoberto It also swapped firstname for lastname in at least 2 sources w/ Chinese authors that my initial submission had cited correctly

this is an area where some kind of reliable automated tool might be useful. It did catch a few errors from my end! But also (and, only in areas where it caught errors), it completely fucked things up, mislabeling and mis-formatting sources & really wrecking names.

@jennygadget @firastopher Yeah, but even if the other party is able to do all kinds of signal processing & dumbing-down, the idea that translating a previously-unheard language is just a few lines of python is engineeringbrained to an incredible degree

@nocitizens @firastopher this. also someone pointed out that part of what is happening is that Rocky is actually doing a lot of the work, even though the use of the computer makes it look like Grace and technology are doing most of it

someone hold me back before i say something truly hateful

@opinonhaver @tszzl Pear Groves Everywhere why not

@opinonhaver @tszzl idk I like the Pear Mesa Budget Committee version where ppl aren't able to figure out what are / aren't necessary parts of the (highly successful) planning structure

on some level if you want civilization to ascend to a new level you need your AIs to do things that are not legible to you and maybe not even strictly obey you, in the same way that if you hire a great new ceo you give them a lot of autonomy to transform the company according to their own plan, even one which may not immediately read as a winning strategy (imagine the board of directors of Apple firing and rehiring Steve Jobs years later - except the board of directors are chimpanzees) all else equal, companies and organizations that hand more of themselves over to machine intelligence will outcompete ones that demand the corrigibility and legibility tax of human oversight and human design. it is not a stable equilibrium and requires some sort of vast cooperation scheme if you’d like to enforce it real asi alignment has to operate at a deeper level than oversight, control, or human corrigibility
