I think you mean trans woman? Female is a phenotype of development. We do not yet have the technology to transition between phenotypes. What we call 'trans' is coordinated social therapy for people undergoing gender dysmorphia, fo

Agreed. When capital-I 'Identity' becomes more than a descriptor polarization eventually becomes inevitable. The real question is is this process even possible to stop? Does multiculturalism help or hurt this process? Etc. Etc. We

Of course it won't. Polarization is not solely the product of social media echo chambers, despite how comfortable it is to claim so. In the (largely American-dominated) western anglosphere Polarization is on the rise because of a cultu

Agree entirely, but I suspect the entire western world will be unable to do this until they complete their cultural revolution. The western body politic is distraught at the idea of competition and unequal outcomes. They will be wholly unab

I'm promise you I'm not trying to be mean or hyperbolic here but... What makes you think "they" want you to survive? What policy or statement have they made that affirms their interest in your life or the lives of your i

That may very well be true "in your view" but, if you'll excuse my pessimism, that doesn't mean very much if it results in China or India developing more effective models faster and more cheaply. We may be diverse, but t

The dichotomy in your last point is constructed. Something not being designed to do X does not mean it is designed to do Y. The hackles raised here over "diversity" are, as you note, likely related to demographic considerations as

Unfortunately that relationship has been disproven many times as it rests on a very weak definition of 'innovation' (Often substituting novelty in the form of simple recollection of terms or base concepts, regardless of how well t

Especially if you consider that as compute costs decrease, so does the ability of scale players to process larger datasets. If we extrapolate that relation, you eventually reach a point where the biggest player can collect and process the m

That's an awful lot of minimizing you're doing here. - Funding AI that adheres to the governments ideas of what is "ethical" and "responsible" despite massive public disagreement on how those terms manifest. -

It absolutely is. LLMs are already being used as mediums of information access and will continue to grow in that role. Information filters/access has a huge role in informing public sentiment, that makes LLMs a massive propaganda vecto

You are probably correct in that the government MUST recognize that non handicapped AI models are more useful, but to believe so requires looking past what the current representatives are actually saying and doing. If a person repeatedly sa

Fair enough. I do hope it successfully sold the seriousness of the issue to our more emotionally driven readership.

You underestimate the degree to which the two are intermixed. This would, for a completely random example, restrict what Palantir's AIs could do. That would then effect results delivered to clients of Palantir, including other nationst

When it comes to the design of super intelligent models, it matters very much. We're standing here designing neutron bombs and arguing about who gets to decide what the targeting criteria is. That should matter to absolutely everyone.

by RelativeDelta 3y ago
The issue is that "ethics" are not universal. By all means, if you believe (as it sounds like you do) that this will result in the affirmation and expansion of your worldview this is good news for you. If you suspect, at any level

Considering the preliminary outline of the AI BoR specifically states that AI models must be prevented from reaching conclusions or promulgating information the authors don't like, regardless of if the model has supporting information

I've thought similar. At the very least it's promoted by a coalition of true believers and those who see it as a power-building opportunity.

In practice yes. I was thinking in terms of processing threads.

Most of your reply is commentary, and I will ignore it as it is tangential to my point. I'm not going to bat for blue team or red team here, I'm pointing out that we've (likely) entered an inevitable slide into the tactics of

It's not just america. It will be the foundation of the next world war. The fight is between collectivism and individualism. Collectivization requires that all sacrifice and all gain, lashed together. Individualism allows for some to s

It's a shift to partisan totalism. If you look at the policies of the Biden admin, almost all of their bills caused capital outflows of red areas, professions and demographics and into blue areas, professions, and demographics. The new

The author misses the strongest case argument for stereotypes. Cost of trait differentiation at scale. In scenarios where the cost reductions of aggregation are larger than the gains received fron individual processing, stereotyping is the

The author's point was that this dynamic does not apply to managerial positions. They are, in their argument, almost entirely composed of "non-heroes" and their actual work is of speculative value. Hence why they are suggesti

The article shows a drop in the generic trust that "a 4-year degree" will return more than it costs. For the majority of degrees this is probably true when compared to alternatives like trade schools.
