  • A statistical concept that is important here is the difference between expected and observed data sets. Many people say the right things about racism but anonymously act in ways contrary to those ideas, LLM may very well be sufficiently subtle to differentiate those two behaviours and mimic them.

  • The tools are not subject to explicit racial bias the data it was trained on has racial bias because the population that generated shows that bias. As usual the problems with AI are not its own but those it inherited from us.

  • Yes its science, the same lab did a follow-up study where they threw rocks at puppies.

  • During its juvenile period we prodded rhesus monkey 089 with sharp sticks and observed a subsequent aversion in 089 to sharp sticks in adulthood which is atypical of unprodded individuals.

  • Whoever is chasing.

  • The concept of "autonomy from China" is the cause of lots of Tibet.

  • Time kills us all by a thousand cuts, not clean but time is our vitality too, it pushes us into the world to leave a mark before it is too late.

  • I read your reply as snarky but I think it may have been just differences in phrasing.

  • Your best guess is reasonable, I may have misremembered, it could have been A' spoken as A dash and meaning the complement and I hallucinated the negative but I think I recall some noted confusion with the reciprocal x-¹ = 1/x.

  • It was a shorthand he used, he wrote it as a superscript, it must of been his own, it was useful in terms of statistics analysis.

  • Juliet Harrington died on the Titanic, she had a place held for her on a lifeboat but in the chaos she tripped over a poorly placed deckchair and broke her ankle. She could not get into the lifeboat.

  • My old statistics lecturer would write x-¹ as shorthand meaning everything that is not x, I thought it was in more common usage but perhaps not. I know it more generally means the reciprocal, he just expected you to know which he meant by context.

  • Today software engineers and tomorrow software engineers minus one.

  • This looks like a comet flyby.

  • Sonderkommando.

  • Who is Pam Phlets.

  • I thought you were quoting episode titles where Kirk had cheated.

  • I hope you are right, you speak of propaganda and I do wonder if the worst case scenario I am imagining were to be the case then those perpetrating it would wish it not to be widely known and would write papers about how ludicrous the notion of debt trap economics was. I suppose you pay your money and you pick your propaganda. I tend to think the ones walking into another country with a great deal usually wear quite dark hats.

  • Any reading list I proffer might be accused of bias, your own search is probably best. My admittedly cursory understanding is a sort of asymmetrically beneficial soft debt trap colonisation of resources and services is proceeding throughout the continent. All sprinkled with a few examples the more old fashioned hard colonisation of the whip. Sadly none of it is likely good for Africans, just as what went before. This all may be a simplistic interpretation but I doubt Chinese minds lay awake at night thinking of ways to help Africa. But Western sleep is not much disturbed in this way either.
