Twitter already exists, we don’t need another place online to spend all day spreading false positivity.
- dash2 6y agoThe issue isn’t false positivity. It’s clear argument, politeness, precision and a willingness to assume the best of your interlocutor.
- jeromenerf 6y agoIt was my impression that Twitter was mostly about spreading false negativity. Anyway, I would prefer we discuss the content of the paper and what it implies for large models.
- saagarjha 6y agoI’m not asking you to spread false positivity, I’m asking you to not read quotes of a rereading of a paper by an author who is not the person we’re discussing and then using it to complain that a researcher is useless and that her entire field is useless. A comment that started off with “it seems like Timnit Gebru mat have overestimated the impact…” is not false positivity.
