Divided by labels, united by ideology?

Free idea: They should start measuring need for cognition by giving people the choice between solving a problem themselves or using AI

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

For a phd class, we all had to submit a referee report for a recent paper. All of our assignments and their feedback were shared with the class. I checked each for AI generated text (bc curious). The grade each person got directly mapped to the AI usage (more AI = higher grade)

@C_Kavanagh My guess is less to do with personal disliking and more to do with cleaning her feed from culture war stuff. I do the same thing sometimes. Tho I recently figured out you can block reposts from people instead (which also works pretty good)

Trump is really running out of sycophants to hire—a good sign!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

OMG she is brutally bad at this

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

I will henceforth be using this as an excuse for all future mistakes I make around my partner

Interacting with attractive women makes men stupid.

The researchers found that even a few minutes with the attractive woman was enough to make the students slower and less accurate on the test.

The more attracted they were, the worse their results.

They also studied the effects on women students of being in the company of handsome men, and found the test scores were unaffected.

To be charitable: maybe it depends on the content!

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

My bias is to agree with AI-sympathetic posts bc doomers annoy me, but this seems not smart.

Sure, if you have already worked everything out prior to writing then go for it. But this is never ever the case. Writing shapes thinking just as much as thinking shapes writing

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

as soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so. I know what I want to say, and I could say so much more if I didn't need to manual labor the words out one by one

Trump has always been shockingly insightful about the nature of the relationship between him and his audience

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

@ArthurCDent Nice!!

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

interesting that smart people can misunderstand moral criticism of elon as criticism of elon as a bad businessman. It seems like it should be easy to keep those ideas separate.

Good businessmen and innovators can engage in a lot of lying & conning, and still get things done.

Hmm. Con-men don't make better rockets that were previously thought impossible. Likewise global internet connectivity.

Adding “or something like that” after every citation in my article

[Arthur Dent @ArthurCDent]

prefixing every adjective in my article with “kinda” to match my authentic voice

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

How can I block the “for you” tab

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

@PaulQuixotic I wish

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

This is definitely still uncanny valley territory. If I didn’t immediately assume I was talking to an AI, I would think I have been drugged or that I’m going crazy. Impressive step though.

[Rutger Bregman @rutgerbregman]

Is there any good reason not to criminalize this immediately?

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

@hassaanraza Oh interesting i could tell immediately.

[Ryan Bruno @RyanBruno7287]

Fear can bring out our inner child. AI doomerism is doing that to a lot of people. Pinker deals well with that immaturity here:

Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

It’s not even clear what they are attempting to signal is here

The United States will NEVER be an effective altruist country. 🇺🇸

[Paul Bloom @paulbloomatyale]

This is the best thing to happen to the Effective Altruist movement ... ever.
