Seán Fobbe🔔 New Essay 🔔 "The Intelligent AI Coin: A Thought Experiment"Open Access here: <a href="https://seanfobbe.com/posts/2025-02-21_intelligent-ai-coin-thought-experiment/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://seanfobbe.com/posts/2025-02-21_intelligent-ai-coin-thought-experiment/</a>Recent years have seen a concerning trend towards normalizing decisionmaking by Large Language Models (LLM), including in the adoption of legislation, the writing of judicial opinions and the routine administration of the rule of law. AI agents acting on behalf of human principals are supposed to lead us into a new age of productivity and convenience. The eloquence of AI-generated text and the narrative of super-human intelligence invite us to trust these systems more than we have trusted any human or algorithm ever before.It is difficult to know whether a machine is actually intelligent because of problems with construct validity, plagiarism, reproducibility and transferability in AI benchmarks. Most people will either have to personally evaluate the usefulness of AI tools against the benchmark of their own lived experience or be forced to trust an expert.To explain this conundrum I propose the Intelligent AI Coin Thought Experiment and discuss four objections: the restriction of agents to low-value decisions, making AI decisionmakers open source, adding a human-in-the-loop and the general limits of trust in human agents.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/politicalscience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@politicalscience</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArtificialIntelligence</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ThoughtExperiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThoughtExperiment</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Benchmarks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Benchmarks</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Validity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Validity</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Plagiarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plagiarism</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Reproducibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reproducibility</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Transferability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Transferability</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Decisionmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Decisionmaking</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Intelligence</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LargeLanguageModel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LargeLanguageModel</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Algorithm</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Justice</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Law</a>

Mike Nelson PeddeI heard about this recently and I think it's brilliant. As the world is increasingly overwhelmed with (mostly bad, overblown) AI art and more, there's still a market of those who value integrity when it comes to their work. The Content Credentials website is entirely voluntary, but it shows those who are interested - in fairly detailed terms - what's been done to a digital creation - be it photography, music or whatever... As an example, using Capture One 16.5to process a digital image, cut to about 1:02:10 in this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/-C73BzXdaqM?t=3728s" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/live/-C73BzXdaqM?t=3728s</a>Capture One 16.5 has a checkbox to add this to the metadata on export. More information on the Content Credentials website, here: <a href="https://contentcredentials.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://contentcredentials.org/</a>P.S. I think AI art (well used) has validity, so long as one is clear on the origins and processes involved. Stealing people's work to train LLMs is an entirely different subject.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/notAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#notAI</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DigitalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalArt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/validity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#validity</a>

Unpartitioned Variance 50% offLong thread: student evaluations are invalid and harm marginalized people but higher ed administrators cling to them like grim death

Matthew RimmerSlice Engineering and Chinese multinational Anker Innovations (SZSE: 300866) have recently settled a lawsuit over patent infringement. Slice accused Anker’s AnkerMake M5C 3D printer and its hotend of infringing on one of its U.S. patents, which covers an adaptable high-performance extrusion head for fused filament fabrication systems. <a href="https://3dprint.com/310152/anker-settles-patent-fight-with-slice-engineering/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://3dprint.com/310152/anker-settles-patent-fight-with-slice-engineering/</a> In response, Anker disputed the validity of the patent and denied any infringement. The lawsuit, filed on September 13, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington by Anker, was resolved through a settlement after both parties negotiated. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/patent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#patent</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3dprinting</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/validity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#validity</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/infringement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infringement</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/settlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#settlement</a>

AndrocatReading the fine print on deduction

Dan BarnettHi, philosophy friends! One of most difficult concepts for my community college logic students is that of deductive validity, where an argument’s structure and not its content becomes paramount. Have you developed a strategy for helping students really grasp the meaning of “valid”? <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/logic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#logic</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#teaching</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/validity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#validity</a>
