This is laughable --- "reporting says", well yes, these reporters did a bang-up job anthropomorphizing the system they are talking about, and obfuscating the responsibility that OpenAI holds here. bsky.app/profile/mims... Some examples:
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2w agoI've seen some folks try to frame OpenAI's unreleased model hacking a company that tests its abilities as a cynical marketing ploy but reporting says that absolutely was not the case: This was a real-deal escape of an AI agent that could have done vastly more damage. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-...

Great paper by a 🌟 group ( @posada.website) that shows the "annotation pipeline as a site of epistemic contestation" & how 'ground truth' is "a sociotechnical artifact manufactured through a sequence of deliberate & often invisible choices," including labor conditions dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

In 2016/2017 infections acquired in hospitals in England accounted for 28,500 patient deaths and cost the NHS £2.7 billion. So how can we best understand and help avoid them? We spoke to Jessica Brigden about her work on models of transmission.

Before you read this article, guess how many women are interviewed, guess how many women mathematicians are interviewed, and consider how many other groups are even more blatantly under represented, or not at all. Who gets to discuss maths in the public eye?
Lawrence Paulson@lawrpaulson.bsky.social · 3mo agoI absolutely don't understand this. Of course "infinity" does not exist. But neither does 3, or the unit circle. Mathematics is about ideas. It is not about real things. www.quantamagazine.org/what-can-we-...

Tschüss, Academia! Erpressbar war ich gestern
