As a thought experiment: In-person testing or oral defense approaches work until we get implants. If people have implants, what then? Demand that the implant be turned off? Demand …

I'm sympathetic to the idea: we should have an open, publicly queryable citation graph. Google scholar could very easily offer this at marginal cost near zero, but they won't.

Idk if we're automating humans out of the publishing loop as much as rapidly automating the production of crap. I had a very similar experience reviewing for EMNLP recently. We are…

Things come to be only when the people with MONEY demand them. If you have no money your demand doesn't exist. A society this unequal serves only the rich (whether that's people or…

i don't understand why this was downvoted

Hypocrisy is the name of the game in SillyCon valley. Push YouTube autoplay slop on kids globally, but no ipads for children of the tech elite. Computer-based instruction for publi…

Does this still work on new chrome versions?

"I like being manipulated by people who want to extract maximal value from me"

Cookie banners are just a kind of ad. If you're at the site, the demand you have for the content on the site is probably close to inelastic (especially on services websites). The s…

This. No cookies should be cross-site visible, ever, unless I explicitly choose for them to be.

I realize it might have come across like I was advocating something akin to nihilism, or as you put, "might makes right." It's the opposite. I'm saying that so far, caring about et…

Right, but even careful reading cannot validate the experimental setup.

I'm tongue-in-cheek asking how/if AI is going to find the advances that lead to exponential improvements in transportation

Right I'm definitely not advocating that one should adhere to the values of the winners of the last 20-40 years. I'm saying that if you're winning today (as measured in money/power…

This piece fails to understand that, in general, ethics depends on what side you are on. In hindsight, the winner's notion of right and wrong usually dominates. If ethics mattered,…

It looks like you can get ~10-20% efficiency gain from these kinds of wings. https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/11/18/175391/folding-w... That's a meaningful improvement but not…

Meanwhile, what AI did to arxiv: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48981206

If as a primary school student you had needed to reverify every fact /experiment that was presented in your textbooks, you would not have gotten very far. Trust is very important t…

I reviewed for ACL (big NLP conf) and another similar conference recently. Lots of crap (though there always has been). One superficially well-written paper was likely AI-plagiariz…

Has anyone here actually looked at the Shai Ben David (SBD) result? I did a final grad project on it recently for a class on incompleteness. In my view it's not really that interes…

Yes, it is very clearly AI written or substantially AI assisted. "Claude, write about Godel's incompleteness thms with respect to AI" And it's annoying that comments like yours get…

And then a million private equity, venture capitalists, management consultants, and other aspiring grifters cried out in terror. Hopefully they stay silenced.

You’re right and wrong: today’s economy is often negative sum from total utility perspective. It hurts society and the person but it helps Mark Suckerberg and Scam Altman and the p…

or, you know, lobbying and oligarchy. great at changing outcomes even when the folks agree.

Following the overturning of Roe v Wade, it is clear that the US needs privacy enshrined in the Constitution. For example, it is absurd to imagine a state government trying to dist…
