@lyndonbajohnson If only there were precedent for how to do it...

[James J. Ward @PrivacyLaw_JJW]

This, but the frustrating corollary is that they *should* use “AI” (and by that I mean ML) to make substantive improvements to their ops that go beyond a McKinsey-style “fire everyone and then rehire them eight months later.” Supply chain, employee wellbeing etc. Many such cases

[Meredith Whittaker @mer__edith]

How, you ask, does this happen?

The answer is so boring. Some guy on the Yum! Brands board attends a rambling citation-free Davos dinner w AI execs, hears their ambling sci-fi marketing pitch, and writes a one-line Signal message to the taco CEO “need AI strategy asap”

Voila.

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

this! also, there's no scientific evidence backing the claim "AI learns like humans" when we don't know how humans learn in the first place

@SarahHinkfuss I think the answer remains yes, but the QA/QC window and stress testing period will be longer.

@focusfronting The reason this debate is happening is all the people who agree that philosophy is easy are thinking of Quine and Ayer, and most of the people disagreeing are thinking of Hegel and Deleuze. A/C divide strikes again

@minabird @katebevan Can confirm, @katebevan - Baycloud is one of the good ones.

@tyorrique I think that’s right. He gets a lot more “the Nothing itself noths” after 1934 but, then again, he makes *a lot* of bad choices in that particular time period
