Thank you for pointing that out. But it still doesn’t support what you said, which is that only 65% of pangram’s fully AI claims are accurate. The “65% strict accuracy” rating is followed in the same sentence by a “97.5% inclusive accuracy”

Your citation was incorrect. The data also shows that pangram reliably tells the difference between those two cases. The statistic you made up or hallucinated is not supported by your link, and you’re being disingenuous here.

Did you read the paper you are linking to? It records a 0% false positive rate for evaluation of human-authored controls, and fewer than 5% of the hybrid and humanized papers had their AI levels overestimated by pangram. It is not completel

Oh you’re right - sorry, I forgot that everyone knows that the key ideas of the article are correct so they don’t require any evidence. To drop the sarcastic frame - the article either argues something that could be incorrect or it makes a

It’s pretty interesting to read what’s basically a long series of substantive empirical claims without a single citation. All the evidence necessary to support this argument is furnished entirely within the series of loosely-connected ideas

I think this attitude is the reason that Elon is going to get away with agreeing with the statement in public. Most stories tiptoe around how extreme the statement is, and as a result he is now successfully deflecting on the issue. The quot

It’s very obvious that Elon and co would rather us concentrate on a blog post by someone else than his own words, words which are the real cause of this controversy. To that end, and since I think the actual cause is too often elided in the

This is very transparently a gross, cruel attempt to parody and belittle trans people, as is made clear by the people involved and the language: “7 Tips on How To Come Out as Enhanced” And the “believe the science” and “colonialist” bits ar

I appreciate that you are making an argument and will respond when I get a chance later in the day and after I read a few of the links - I’m familiar with like half of them.

If the existence of C cves in the kernel proves that it is impossible to write correct C, then by the same token any cves in any rust code prove the same thing about rust. This is such a lazy way of arguing. Say something about why the trad

Oh wow, someone should alert the Linux kernel maintainers. Do you want to tell them that it’s impossible to write correct C code? And the rust compiler team, too. After all, if nobody can write safe assembly then whatever they’re doing is e

I’m going to not engage on the Fauci/covid question (although I think you’re misremembering which subject he was less than forthright about - it was the efficacy of masking, and the dispute you’re talking about didn’t happen until late

The opposite is true: These 444 cases of blood clots are after an estimated 24.9 million first [Astrazeneca] doses, and 24.2 million second doses of the vaccine in the UK. Of the 444 people who developed blood clots, 80 died. Six of the

Your voting history is publicly available (nothing about who you vote for, just whether or not you vote in a given election year). There have been several studies showing that messages along the lines of “Your voting history is public, make

Yes, that’s a good point. But it seems to me like that’s a matter of degree, right? Like, even stipulating that the chips themselves are not fungible across products and companies, they are fungible across time for the same or similar produ

I really don’t understand this. Chips are tangible goods, not services where, for example, a bunch of hospitality capacity went to waste during the pandemic. Any “extra” chips will go to use, and will only serve to reduce costs for firms an

Done. Thanks for mentioning the paste service cli, had no idea and am definitely going to be using it!

I'm surprised nobody has raised concerns about the authors. This group is notorious for producing near-fraudulent preprints in support of their preconceptions and widely publicizing them. Tracy Hoeg was responsible for an atrocious VAE

You would tell by checking whether he had been asked for comment on the story before making the claims that there would be political attacks on him, which would reveal that he tweeted a few hours after he learned of the story.

Man, the level of contempt for difference - and the desperation to justify that contempt with some sort of reason - is really astonishing here. What an unhinged piece of garbage.
