- Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned? 2 weeks ago:
Google says $1M in 1990 is worth just under $2.5M today. I guess in the 90s houses were worth more like a 20th to a 10th of that rather than a 5th but I think you’d still have been pretty short sighted to give up working on that kind of windfall. Giving every American $1M is not anything like what the original post is talking about. It’s talking about taking half of Bezos net worth and giving it to Amazon employees, which equates to maybe 2 years of a shitty wage, and would likely only be deliverable as stock in Amazon. The other point about redistributing some of the 1%s wealth to the wider citizens of the USA again only nets each individual 70k. Noones quitting their job over that and most people will be either be dumping it straight back I to the economy or paying down some debt.

There are so many issues with this but the primary one is that you’d be an idiot to try and never work again with only a million bucks in your hand.

- Comment on Despite $22bn promise, Adani has paid zero corporate tax in Australia and experts think it won’t ever pay a cent 3 weeks ago:
Just make a rule that a company will be taxed on its local revune assuming it made profits equal to it’s most profitable “related party”. Eg, Adani Ireland has 30% profit, then we assume Adani Australia’s revenue includes 30% profit and we tax that.
- Comment on AI Chatbots Remain Overconfident — Even When They’re Wrong: Large Language Models appear to be unaware of their own mistakes, prompting concerns about common uses for AI chatbots. 3 weeks ago:
Nah so their definition is the classical “how confident are you that you got the answer right”. If you read the article they asked a bunch of people and 4 LLMs a bunch of random questions, then asked the respondent whether they/it had confidence their answer was correct, and then checked the answer. The LLMs initially lined up with people (over confident) but then when they iterated, shared results and asked further questions the LLMs confidence increased while people’s tends to decrease to mitigate the over confidence.
But the study still assumes intelligence enough to review past results and adjust accordingly, but disregards the fact that an AI isnt intelligence, it’s a word prediction model based on a data set of written text tending to infinity. It’s not assessing validity of results, it’s predicting what the answer is based on all previous inputs. The whole study is irrelevant.

I guess, but it’s like proving your phones predictive text has confidence in its suggestions regardless of accuracy. Confidence is not an attribute of a math function, they are attributing intelligence to a predictive model.

Why is a researcher with a PhD in social sciences researching the accuracy confidence of predictive text, how has this person gotten to where they are without being able to understand that LLM don’t think? Surely they came up when he started even co soldering this brainfart of a research project?

- Comment on Palantir accuses British doctors of choosing ‘ideology over patient interest’ in NHS data row 1 month ago:
Man Im not experienced in paying for blow jobs but my gut feeling is that you could get a pretty great one a lot cheaper than that. I dunno, maybe the multi million dollar bureaucracy blow job is really really great.
- Comment on Palantir accuses British doctors of choosing ‘ideology over patient interest’ in NHS data row 1 month ago:
The Palantirs werent technically evil, they were just stones that let you see the truth, it’s just the strong holders could manipulate what was seen through them by the weak holders to bend the truth.
In that respect the company is pretty aptly named, the owners (strong in the rights of the admin) can warp the insights to fit their narrative and feed those to the clients (weak in the rights of the admin). The problem being that the clients are also feeding huge amounts of data (truth) to owners to allow them to do their work. That data is ours.
Arguably, the naming of the company should at least give any government pause for thought about the reliability of the information provided to them and the true cost of feeding information to them. It’s not like the company isn’t broadcasting the issues with their system by using that specific name … surely there’s no in depth discussion of how a system like this could possibly end badly for someone who doesn’t have completed control over it?!

If the peer review are unable to differentiate between student output and AI output then they are either incompetent or they are inundated with absolute garbage. The latter also suggests the former is true.
- Comment on Welcome to Campus. Here’s Your ChatGPT. 2 months ago:
Yeah given the quality of AI outputs they could just read the papers to spot it … you know … do their jobs? I mean there’s a few layers here for thesis review, you supervisor, your professor, the other peer reviewers. They are all supposed to review the paper and at least some of the data that led to its production.
