What is human flourishing?

This is my thesis question for the year.

[Denise Gershbein @dgersh]

These outputs will start to seep into our general knowledge. Facts will be mixed in with gpt “hallucinations.” And users will be none the wiser.

What’s the long term view? A self-reinforcing cycle of research>faulty answers>human “learning” of misinformation>fed back to LLMs?

[Denise Gershbein @dgersh]

We need the Daniel Dale(s) of chatGPT outputs. Like, immediately. As in, alarm bells should be going off.

Why? You can depend on gpt outputs for pattern finding, but you absolutely cannot depend on it to output facts.

[Denise Gershbein @dgersh]

Kids are using it to research papers. Analysts are using it to gather data and populate tables. Businesses are using it to offer financial advice.

And the outputs look human, authoritative, and correct.

But unless someone is fact checking every line of output…

turn off this adobe feature so the machine learning overlords don’t steal from you while you work

[Nicholas Kole @FromHappyRock]

I don’t use photoshop, but this is outrageous.

A little feature, sitting in the background, gathering WIP data to learn how to replace you by stealing from you.

@rajiinio @IEthics I believe this is what @ForHumanity_Org is doing with their auditing and accreditation framework?

This thread shining sunlight on political figures who complain about student debt forgiveness… who themselves had thousands of dollars in PPP loans forgiven

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven.

Saw this Friday night July 22 over Philo, CA not knowing this was a thing and freaked the fck out for the next 24 hours thinking we’d seen a UFO. It was stunning

Each satellite launch of the #Starlink constellation of #SpaceX is visible as a “train” as they reach their final orbit. It is spectacular, and that is why it is a serious problem for astronomy. via @javyfeu #VideoCiencia S. Bath

@skratta guessing you already know about it/them/her but if not, seems like the kind of thing you'd be into or like to amplify

Heard @adriennemaree talking about #emergentstrategy on @onbeing, so I checked out https://t.co/4VeB0r7lY7 finally. I would just like to underline that their elements and principles should really be true for every area of life, work, systems. https://t.co/p986KUeHDo So good.

I can’t begin to put into words my feelings about the recent barbaric decision to overturn Roe vs Wade in the Dystopian States of America. This is Debbie Reynolds speaking about her own experience in the 60’s… it’s hard to listen to but this is what’s going to happen again.

THIS. THIS. THIS.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

[Denise Gershbein @dgersh]

I am devasted today. Devastated and enraged. (And the overturning of Roe v Wade in the US is only the tip of the iceberg regarding human rights.)

It’s not simply about abortion: this begets the criminalization of pregnancy, and that’s not hyperbole. https://t.co/UxNPQiUFaM
