@colin_fraser Each step is to some degree stochastic though, right? So, even if the correct token at some step is really really likely, then as you increase the number of steps, the probability of not picking the correct one becomes very very high.
@thefulltoss@asianick85 It was doing a lot today. I don't think any team would have survived / won. So, would agree that toss important. But if they'd blocked they would have likely lost by more.
@jessRmorley @BBCr4today@aleksk@Kevin_Fong Enjoyed your input there, thanks! 100% agree on the less trendy backroom tasks that could make a big difference.
@GeoffreyPetty @LRB That didn't scan. Basically, it's goodness seemed to be that it could produce bigger lists of targets. And humans could feel like they weren't responsible for the choice.
Three articles in the @LRB this month that taken together are quite chilling: the wholesale swallowing of the religion of AI (article on Blair) + the use of AI in generating kill lists + the hollowing of the regulatory landscape (in context of grenfell)...
@GeoffreyPetty @LRB That, yes. But more the fact that there's no way of evaluating its accuracy, the justification that it could identify more targets with humans able to delegate any responsibility.
