The question is how you define good. They surely want the Ai to be good in the sense that it rejects all claims that they think can get away with rejecting. But it should not reject those where rejection likely results in litigation and los

It's an accounting 101 thing to use all tricks in the book to reduce the reported profit, to avoid paying taxes on that profit.

Usually this is very hard because the tasks and the job often subtly shifts in somewhat unpredictable and unforeseen ways and there is no neat clean abstraction that you can just implement as an application. Too hererogeneous, too messy, to

In the "most literal" interpretation no. It's generally safe to read the Bible at work, (during times when reading anything non-work related is allowed).

This is beypnd jobs and corporations and is about humanity and civilization. A small minority of people in every era actually pushed on any kind of frontier. That's ok. We need people who just execute the mundane tasks too, that's

On the other hand if I'm honest, all this noodling around as a teen didn't give me a super robust foundation at all. I had a kind of folk understanding, or rough mental model of the things but it made me like it as a hobby and ide

Yes, but it shouldn't be mandatory for "regular" jobs. People often dislike the idea that there are some ambitious, agentic, talented, motivated people who really put in the hours and their job is simultaneously their hobby e

There's a danger of romanticizing the past, but I think there was just less metric based pressure on these people than today. In the 70s, the whole consultant-led transformation of all corporations wasn't fully complete yet.

Yes, but that requires admitting that the employees are flesh and bones humans with human social relationships between them and this stuff can't be tabulated and accounted and bean-counted. And it's rather outright seen as a risk

I don't think you can recreate this in any top-down manner no matter how well-intentioned. It has to matter to them, and what's more, it gives you extra boost if you aren't supposed to do it and no parent or teacher pats you

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how similar the spirit of many successful software projects was. Creative collaboration, open play, extremely high trust, by people who really intrinsically love what they do. It goes against so

Yeah humans have done this physically for very long. We have puny little teeth but have knives and butchering tools much better than any animal's teeth. We have little hair, but make clothes that can keep us warm in the arctic or even

Yes but bird aren't ornithologists. It's a bit like on Reddit, as a speaker of a language that's not so popular for learning, when there are some language learners asking questions, we get lots of confident but wrong answers

Ok, but then it doesn't make sense to dismiss AI based on that. It fails the Turing test, because it's creators intentionally don't even try to make something that is good at the (strictly defined) Turing test. If someone rea

Okay but we are not really optimizing them to emulate humans right now. In fact, it's the opposite. The mainstream bots are explicitly trained to not identify as humans and to refuse to claim having thought or internal feelings or cons

I doubt that you need any of that or it has any use for dealing with kids ages 3-6. Every granny and auntie knew how to do it since time immemorial. Just let them play, go out in the yard, chase the ants, dig some holes in the mud, run arou

Okay, that's an empirical question. I rather doubt it and think that the more adept teachers are more likely to apply there and to get through it. It's a filtering mechanism.
