Splendid! Soon the money will start pouring into the study of ancient history & literature too, right?

It's all about agency, about an intent to convey a message. So there's a goal, a purpose. This is what (we call) AI is lacking. That's why they are not "authoring" anything - even though they are doing things that *we find significant. bsky.app/profile/tuom...
Tuomas Pernu"'Whether the [embedding] actually corresponds to a single word or not' — much less a faithful reasoning process — 'is beside the point,' Kambhampati said." I really don't get how this can be so difficult: these systems lack *understanding*. They don't know what the hell they are doing.
"[W]e find strong selective effects associated with higher institutional prestige, larger team size, and certain topics and countries. Corresponding authors who are men exhibit a small but significant advantage at Science, while authors based in China have a significant disadvantage."
Angela AndersenKudos to @science.org for this self-analysis of the peer review process. These kind of data are never shared and don't have to be. Wildly refreshing to see it out in the open.

Esim. @ellisinstitute.fi voisi herätä. Missä on AI:hin liittyvä humanistinen ja yhteiskuntatieteellinen tutkimus? Missä on *aito poikkitieteellisyys. Hei, hallitusohjelmakin lausuu kauniisti: bsky.app/profile/tuom...

Behold, the sin of alcohol! "The development of new theories about the action of alcohol on the body and mind appears to have been influenced by the now-discredited eighteenth- and nineteenth-century idea that the phenomenon of human combustion, spontaneous or not, was linked to spirit drinking."

Tekoäly - termi, btw, jota ei pitäisi käyttää - on aikamme suurin huijaus. Hyötyjä kenties on, mutta haitat ovat joka tapauksessa ilmeisiä. Minkälainen romahdus tarvitaan, jotta päättäjät putoavat maanpinnalle? bsky.app/profile/tuom...
Tuomas Pernu"[T]eknologiasta on tullut laajemmin yhteiskunnassa koko visio ja itse tarkoitus." Nyt me sopeudumme teknologiaan, ei päinvastoin. Milloin kehitystyön keskiöön tulevat käyttäjät - ihmiset? Haastan mukaan: postiin työturvallisuusilmoitus, jos sinun odotetaan ottavan käyttöön vielä uusi härpäke.
