"Ich kann das eine Wort nur verstehen, indem ich ein anderes dafür suche."

[Martin Lenz @Going_Loopy]

@comandingo Great point! The very idea of an omission requires an understanding of what it means to have different interests or assumptions about relevance, i.e. a perspective. The contrary concept would be that of completeness (God) which doesn't make sense across different perspectives.

@JanvonHein1 Nennt sich Dialektik...

[Martin Lenz @Going_Loopy]

@sillyconSilke Ja, es spitzt sich mehr und mehr zu.

If you do not see this man, and his peers, as cult leaders, you are a fool. They are playing all angles simultaneously—doomsday cult, healing miracles cult, secret knowledge cult, messianic cult—and it’s been effective.

@freganmitts Spot-on!

I've witnessed this conversation happen, but it's not only analytics. Historians come to mind as another broad group.

Wie postkoloniale Ideologie von der rechten auf die linke Seite des politischen Spektrums gewandert ist - lesenswerte Analyse von Herfried Münkler.

@jaklok84 @ArianeKonzepte Nee, maar grappige dialektik

[Martin Lenz @Going_Loopy]

@ArianeKonzepte Gern! Stammt aus einem Gedicht von Lucebert, aus dem das Zitat dann von Toni Burgering als Kunstwerk (wie hier fotografiert) in Rotterdam installiert wurde: https://t.co/8eDxmPD3D5

@comandingo @QuirinPoulsen It doesn't matter, if it's a one-off. It will matter, if it becomes a trend or pattern to cook AI recipies. Repetition legitimizes.

[Martin Lenz @Going_Loopy]

Usually, we tend to think of the alignment problem as the problem of getting AI to align with human intentions, values, and so on. But the real alignment problem is that humans tend to align with AI.

@comandingo Yes, but isn't organisation context-sensitive?

[Martin Lenz @Going_Loopy]

@comandingo I see. But where does that leave the aspect of purpose? The organisation of human knowlegde is linked to purposes. If these affect knowledge production, wouldn't that require ascribing similar purposes to machines?

[Martin Lenz @Going_Loopy]

@comandingo But what would "algorithms govern human knowledge" even mean? Do you mean in terms of procedural memory or some such faculty?

Denmark proposes a groundbreaking copyright law that would grant citizens ownership of their face, voice,and body to fight against Al deepfakes.

@christianbangel So differenziert wie Sie äußern sich sonst nur sehr kompetente Kritiker der Ideologiekritik. Wirklich beeindrucked. Allerdings glaube ich, dass Sie "Palestinismus" meinen.
