In the new #X,
speech is allowed, but visibility is not guaranteed.
The battle is no longer knowledge vs. ignorance,
but true value vs. what the algorithm shows.
The danger is not only losing truth,
but watching its imitation rise because it spreads better

When AI first arrived on the scene, I worried it would make economists, or even critical thinkers more broadly, less valuable. In my travels in the past 6 months to work with non-profits, for profits, and government agencies, I have observed how people are actually using AI. I have watched them fumble around with insights they clearly did not create themselves.

My fears are now assuaged. One observation is that AI can produce something that in some cases is very wrong and in others looks nearly right, but is not quite there. Even if in time AI improves to "nearly right" or "exactly right" every time, a second issue still arises: explaining the materials.

Explaining why an answer is almost correct but subtly off requires exactly the critical thinking skills that created the knowledge in the first place. Even explaining "exactly right" material takes critical thinking. I've watched smart people confidently present AI-generated material they clearly don't fully understand. The words sound right. But when someone pushes back just a little bit, the sand castle crumbles.

It is quite difficult to defend what you didn't build. This leads me to now make the optimistic case for human expertise. The value of deeply understanding something — of having built the knowledge yourself — hasn't diminished with AI. If anything, it's increased. The people who can tell the difference between "nearly right" and "right" are more valuable than ever. The people who can explain the subtle details about something that is exactly right are invaluable.

Creating knowledge still matters. Maybe now more than ever.

Edward Luce’s new book leaves many impressions, but chief among them is that the United States no longer produces grand strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski or Henry Kissinger, writes Theodore Bunzel. https://t.co/jc2dhFkQyy

Former head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, says America should strike Iran "to draw a line under this conflict" and to destroy as much of their nuclear programme as possible.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.

My full testimony below:

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

“Together, these reports highlight the danger posed by the existence of Iran’s enrichment program and show a level of cheating on the NPT that invalidates any Iranian claim that it has a right to enrich.”

It's a difficult matter to gain the affection of a #cat. He's a #philosophical, #methodical animal, tenacious of his own #habits, fond of order & neatness, & disinclined to extravagant sentiment.

He will be your #friend, if he finds you #worthy of #friendship, but not your slave
