Proposal: We replace the term “artificial intelligence” with “artificial pseudo-intelligence”, in that systems mimic the effects and achievements of intelligence without actually being in any way intelligent.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@jonnynexus @alanbrookland In some sense, AI has already taken over the wolrd. Just look at how social media is intertwined with politics.

Does the tail wag the dog?

We have the unregulated and unsupervised deployment of a class of technologies capable of rewiring the whole human experience behind us: Social Media.

Are we going to learn something from it?

All the lessons we need to not repeat our mistakes with AI are right there in front of us, right now.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@jonnynexus @alanbrookland In other words, we are again asking ourselves the wrong .

It is not about what AI can or cannot do, because eventually it can.

It is what is APPROPRIATE.

When we make do something, we lose fine control. And we have to choose where we want to do that really well.

Automation turned everyday items from unique works of art to bulk. Social media turned journalism into Twitter. Just how much more can we automate our politics without it automating us?

@alanbrookland @jonnynexus I think you guys are overestimating how humans are intelligent.

Do you even neuroscience?

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@alanbrookland @jonnynexus Of course we can’t claim we fully understand GPT-4 level networks yet. But analysis of GPT-2 level does provide evidence of model construction.

As for inferences, the human mind is very imperfect. In fact, it is more model than it is sensory. Neural connections to the visual cortex for example, show that from-brain synaptic influence outnumber from-eye influence 10-to-1.

My argument is that our brain is in the chinese room as much as the computer is.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@jonnynexus @alanbrookland The important question in my opinion is not who or what is better. The importance is what we can learn.

We have made a machine that imitates how natural systems learn. What that teaches about us is as important as not killing ourselves in the process. 😄

I hope less people stop thinking of this as a competition. It really blinds you to what is happening.

And yes, your job maybe taken by an AI, but it was a person who put that AI there in the first place.

"Sote-säästösopuun kuuluvat lähdetietojen mukaan ainakin yksityisen sektorin osuuden lisääminen erityisesti palvelusetelien lisäämisellä ja ehkä Kela-maksujen nostamisella."

Eli säästetään käyttämällä moninkertainen määrä veronmaksajien rahoja yksityisiin terveyspalveluihin sen sijaan, että laitettaisiin julkiselle resursseja.

@outi @karbaasi @mikaelhoo Jos katsotaan niitä esimerkkejä ”ketteristä” firmoista niin siellä nimenomaan käytännön osaaminen, suunnittelu ja projektinhallinta istuvat samassa pöydässä.

Ja ei oo mitenkään poissuljettua että valtion tasolla ei vois toimia samoin. Vaatisi vain ihan toisenlaista kannustin- ja tulosvastuuta siellä virkamieskoneistossa.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@outi @karbaasi @mikaelhoo Ja siis tosiasiassa se tehokkaiden ratkaisujen tekeminen vaan vaikeutuu yksityistäessä:

Suunnittelu ja implementaatio kytkeytyy toisistaan irti.

Syntyy firmoja jotka on eksperttejä navigoimaan valtionhankintojen sääntöviidakkoja ja tyydyttämään tarkastuksia ja valvontaa.

Poistuu kytkös kokonaan sen väliltä mitä lähdettiin toteuttamaan ja sen mitä saatiin.

Lopputuloksesta voi aina syyttää valtiota koska se on tilaaja

    Strong identification might be a small price to pay for being able to tell apart man and machine, when the machines can tell you for who you are just from the data you leave laying around.

    Accessibilty is important because "we're all going to be disabled at some point, thanks to injuries or illness"?

    Maybe, but I don't like this argument, unless care is taken to carefully emphasize the following:

    People with disabilities are deserving of full access to full participation in society just because it's the goddamn right thing to do, not because some abled person might suddenly join them.

    This right there is a CD that I burned on "civil" burner 20 years ago, before Spotify and Youtube was trendy and when storing your music on MP3 CDs made perfect sense (to conserve disk space obviously). It's still perfectly readable today! That tech is more reliable than people think.

    i had completely forgotten how utterly alien Hannu Rajaniemi's "Jean le Flambeur" novels are...

    i read the first an age ago (pre-2018 anyway) and only picked up the second, "The Fractal Prince" this week.

    loving it, kind of? there's so much which just defies understanding, so i'm sort of letting the words wash over me and feeling the story rather than trying to immediately comprehend it. is kind of like James Kellerman's "How Late It Was..." or Bascule's elements in "Feersum Endjinn"

    @hanse_mina It’s a very good point to remember.

    It’s not just productivity, so many more people can get into programming now! No need to understand loops, branches, conditions! It’s all doable by natural language.

    You only need to dabble a bit in states and data storage structures. Just wonderful!
