These systems are interested in probabilities, not in finding the causes of shoplifting. If not correlation, then what else?

I do not follow you, so I think you do not follow me. Robbers or mobility are not protected classes.

Nearly everything is correlated with race or protected social status. For instance, it is farcical to be able to target advertisements on Facebook Likes, but not on race. These systems will discriminate on racial proxies, and the question

Age discrimination is also illegal, but do you really want to track grannies the same as teenagers for shoplifting? Same group that complains when a TSA agent frisks a five year old white kid. All in the name of fairness.

It is when the quest for fairness goes too far. Predictive policing is close to this, and also causes strong reactions: complaining about negative feedback loops, but seemingly ignoring that these problem neighborhoods need more police at

Especially when using words like "illegally", probably without consulting a lawyer. May now be open to countersuit for accusing them of illegal behavior.

There is still creativity in the architecture, the training data, and the sample selection. None of the art is randomly created, but carefully curated by a human.

I think the 450k GAN painting was a bargain. There is no doubt that neural art will increase in quality and quantity over the years, maybe even surpassing us in stylistic insight. That painting is the first of its kind, much like owning a f

Letters are not uniformly distributed. When poker players need a random source (for instance, deciding when to bluff) they can look at the current or previous tabled cards (or their own cards).

You can have organizational breath with smaller teams. You pair a great programmer with an exceptional programmer and it helps if they are specialized in roughly the same topics.

Admit it to yourself. Then come prepared (to the job interview or inception meeting).

Another thing that has not been discussed yet: OpenAI does not want to be responsible for the output of this model. Can you imagine the headlines? "OpenAI released a text generating AI and it is racist as hell". People should have

If you have two great engineers in a kitchen, discussing a relevant problem, you want there to be synergy. That synergy is broken when one of the engineers has to Google how to reverse a binary tree. It is also a safe place to work for the

I thought this was about World Models paper. There maybe you can give them a little leeway: AI has more slack equating humans and machines. This paper reeks of antromorphization for the hype of it. It gets you headlines like this, but is pr

Yes, you can create confidence estimates for both large neural networks and gradient boosting (see for instance the thesis of Yarin Gal). This covers the majority of commercial and academic applications. ML is actually a field with very hig

ML is different from statistics. If you want to learn more read Breiman's Statistical Modeling: Two cultures. AI is real and is a legit field of study, of which ML is currently very popular, so some articles conflate these two. But it

Purely from a business perspective you are correct. Can not put a price on accessibility though (screenreader, forced IE use, etc.). Especially for content websites I don't think there is a non-economic reason to justify non-accessible

If you believe the market is 100% efficient, then it follows it always has been this way. Do you really think the market is equally efficient as it was a 100 years ago? If not, then it follows that market efficiency is a gradient, and gets

You are an expert on ad targeting and ML, because you look at (but do not click) internet ads once in while? This is just another meaningless "me too!".

They need that list for max profit. Just serving ads without an intelligent platform behind it to know where and when to serve them, will hurt the CTR (which hurts both the ad tech platform and the advertiser). Why would ad tech companies g

Which advertising company oversold you their targeted ads? And how did you find out (how much did it cost) it was not true to the extend you believed?

Advertising was not made for OP. It was made for people who do not see the difference between ads and search results. It was made for people who impulse buy to improve their mood. For people who care about pictures, not stats. Personalizati

I think the intent behind question 3 is to find people who want to work on something that defines their life enough it makes it on their obituary. Selecting for life passion, not temporary dreamers.

You could create a readability score from normal non-malicious code. Eventhough I do not know what above code does, at a glance, I can tell that this is not normal code. A machine could too.

I've read discussions between Wikipedia editors and people the article was about, and they were told to not edit the article, or produce a "no original research" authoritative source. On facts about their own life. So either

A random number generator or binary enumerator could output results that were not inherent in its programming. Or if you pose they don't, then you need to explain better what is so special about human brains that they can produce resu

For a more recent working definition of intelligence, see the work of Marcus Hutter and Shane Legg on Universal Intelligence. That we don't understand or can't define intelligence is a popular trope not grounded in reality. There
