hey wasn't this the same company that made a beautiful shiny "research" post about how AI evals should include error bars or something like that. or did they decide the CLT didn't apply here

individual reporting for post-deployment evals — a little manifesto (& new preprints!) tldr: end users have unique insights about how deployed systems are failing; we should figure out how to translate their experiences into formal evaluations of those systems.

ok i guess i might be coming back here

this is too mean of a take for twitter but that one thread where people are like "don't do a phd in AI, the field moves too fast, you'll be stuck, academia sucks"... sounds like lots of ppl are motivated primarily by glory/ ego and prob better for them not to be in the academic community anyway :^)

poetry and manifestos in an anarchist hackerspace.. still so psyched about the turnout for kernel magazine x lit crawl :^D

let me just say that talking about the importance of values pluralism is... well, clearly, not the same thing as actually being open to conflicting values and alternative proposals for the future ...! 🤨

this piece was so horrendous it singlehandedly cured my imposter syndrome about having anything interesting to say about AI https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-artificial-intelligence/can-we-stop-the-singularity
