Um, friend of mine in her handwritten "my favorite recipes" book has used that layout for decades, using curly braces to group things. I'm doing that too since seeing her book a long time ago. I thought it's standard to

Fair, but how easy is it to in that case mistakenly read it like that? It's not the only questionable figure in Seth's post. He also drops an ad for his new book within 2.5 short paragraphs. While criticising ad practices. He wr

The required changes are typically minimal. A little bit of altitude up or down, a minimal detour. Also mentioned in other comments (and in the article).

Is it clear that they are separate in humans? The very act of recalling something from memory modifies that memory. There is no inference in the human brain without "training".

Human intelligence does not separate training and inference. Both are happening continuously. That's one of the major things the AI community is still completely missing.

And talking about that would make people concerned. But instead the article lifts that McD knows your favorite drink is a large diet coke and you probably spend $25 there at your next visit because .. well you usually do. If that's

Irony: The first thing shown to me when opening that Wired article was an info box asking me to agreeing to data collection.

Having them opens a door for trouble though: if the head or other key people of the ethics team resign in protest then that's bad PR.

I got there because somebody asked for evidence for a certain viewpoint and you seemed to push back against this ask by suggesting that if you ask for evidence, you need to demand it from both sides. As if somebody failing to do that do

And how is the corollary from the argument you just presented that neither side needs to provide evidence? Let's start by actually having evidence for "your side", then you can demand evidence from the other.

How is that better? If true then that would be an even clearer war crime.
