>A couple more clicks after that, and we’re looking at a summarized version of a bill tackling cybersecurity that the software has considered and rendered a judgment on, when it comes to the probability that it will become law. We’re not talking a rough estimate. There’s a decimal: 78.1 percent.
No way in hell is it producing probabilities calibrated to 3 significant digits. If some kind of testing of calibration produces proof it's even within 1 percent calibrated I will be shocked.
- rayiner 9y agoIt's spitting out 3 digits for sure. The reporter is just too ignorant to realize that they're not 3 significant digits.
- ikeboy 9y agoObviously. It's both a concerning detail about the company (why are they displaying probabilities to a level of accuracy they can't possibly claim) and an indication the reporter didn't do due diligence. They actually use it to claim the company must have sophisticated software to get that kind of accuracy!
