Would anyone be willing to explain what's different between this & how humans make decisions?

Would anyone be willing to explain what's different between this & how humans make decisions?
- dragonwriter 9y agoFirst, we'd have to have a good model for human decision making.
- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoIf we were to start with this as the foundation for modeling human decisions, where does this fail as a model?
- dragonwriter 9y agoIts kind of hard to do the measurements necessary to answer that question without being able to accurately and objectively measure actual human beliefs (which may not be the same as self-reported beliefs.)
- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoOk. What about using inaccurate, subjective measures? How well does it model self-reported beliefs?
- Lambdanaut 9y agoWhat resolution are you looking for? All models fail to be the thing they're modelling. The first and obvious answer is that "this is software running on hardware, as apposed to being biologically-based". It might sound like I'm being facetious but your question is really that broad.
- drdeca 9y ago"What sort of predictions that this makes are contradicted by observation"?
- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoThis is what I meant. Thanks for providing the clarification I didn't think to include.
- aisofteng 9y agoI thought the clarification to be self-evident, for what it's worth.
- sirdutin 9y agoHah! Good one! Nice try, Bezos!
- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoThanks for this comment. I can't wait to see what the system says about how to market to those who'll create a new HN name for the sake of doxxing someone! Here at Amazon, we care about the little things like that because we have to. For now. Again, thanks for helping us get one step closer to not having to. EDIT: Save those downvotes for when posts are incapable of contributing at all. Jokes you don't find funny don't count. I laughed at the parent post, so it contributed to my enjoyment.
