I got to do my high school World Religions presentation on Discordianism. I found some ritual where I handed out donut and we did a chant about how good they are. The teacher was like that’s fun and no one is ever doing that as their topic again.

If you are referencing the University of Reading one using Eugene Goostman then many AI researchers don't accept it as passing as it the test was only 5 minutes and the 30% thing is argued over. Turing never set that as a requirement, it was just in his prediction that by 2000 people would "not have more than 70 per cent chance" of identifying a computer, and some people have decided to interpret it that way as it makes it easier to beat.


Yah the whole trick were the computer pretends to be dumb or not speak the language is more of a cheat than a breakthrough in AI. I’ve heard the 30% of the time explained as a machine intelligence would probably be very different from a human intelligence.

Honestly, I think that Blake Lemoine's core point isn't bad: we don't have a way to assess machine sentience, and machine intelligence might be very different from human intelligence (and thus hard to recognize). I don't think that we are harming a sentient being in this case, but after reading the transcript, I can understand why Lemoine might come to that conclusion. Probably big AI companies should start thinking about these things more seriously, and have policies in place well before we reach general artificial intelligence.

That would be a reasonable precaution if we lived in a post-scarcity utopia, but we don't and it is so tremendously unlikely that we will create general AI during the lifetime of our civilization that it would be a tremendous waste of resources at this point

Totally open to the possibility he's not telling the full truth (for example I don't believe that LAMDA is sentient!). But there's also a recent pattern of senior Google AI researchers leaving after research disagreements, so I'm pretty open to the possibility that some of these complaints about how Google's handling it in general have merit.

He's a guy who likes a lot of attention and he saw that the AI researchers were getting a lot of attention for leaving.

If he thinks that the chatbot is sentient then he is wildly unqualified to define responsible AI.

I'm a little confused as to why MetaPixel was on the hospital page in the first place. Was the hospital trying to have Facebook integration on their website? Or was it pulled in as part of some dependency? Or something else?

watch it be "accidentally" built into the react framework secretly somehow. most likely because whoever built the application was told to add Facebook integration lol.

The Twitter person isn't covered by HIPAA. It's explicitly only for healthcare providers, insurance companies, etc. And you can't violate your own privacy under the law.

I assume you were joking, but a lot of people don't understand those details. Like, if I randomly find your medical file on the side of the road and post on the internet that you take boner pills and horse laxatives, I'm not violating HIPAA.

Oh, I don't think he'd be covered by HIPAA, I'm just thinking back to that whatever governor who was going to put a journalist in prison for hacking for finding that the state website was leaking teachers` SSNs. So in this case, hospitals report a violation of CFAA by the Tweeter and get off scott free.

Google/Facebook/etc. make a lot of money off sourcing data, FB was likely just used as an API to funnel that data. Which is hugely bad.

This is roughly what happened with Ascension Health.

A train that gets to play on the highway and on the massive pedestrian paths.
After it has played by the ocean and in a desert. Without accumulating salt water corrosion or sand anywhere.
It will also occasionally try to crush those beneath it simply because it needs to do so to get past a bridge. I'm sure everyone will behave calmly and rationally when the crushomatic decides to squeeze anyone beneath it in order to stick to its strict timetable.

It will apparently also plow straight through accident sites, ignoring any potential hazards that may block its path at high altitude and then exacerbate the accident and just firing off air bags at anyone and anything around it, sending people and debris flying at shotgun speeds. I can't wait to see it in operation.

no no no, you see it is a luxury transpod with vertical traffic bypass features.

I love that they have the tracks implemented in the road between regular lanes with no protection or method for the cars to not be demolished when the not train speeds by them. the resulting crash then causes the giant structure to collapse off its stilt legs and crushes an additional 12 cars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Nightingale

It's really not. Nightingale was an explicit agreement to hand over the patient data to Google, whereas the Meta Pixel stuff is for analytics and tracking. It's a tool designed to let the site owner track things like people clicking on their facebook ad, and then seeing what they do next when they get to the website. Of course, since it's Facebook the whole thing is designed to hoover up as much data as possible, and again since it's Facebook it's probably reasonable to imagine the worst possible case for what they choose to do with that data, but the hospitals here aren't deliberately or knowingly sending it across (e: "it" being the patient data here, they know they're sending the click info). That's still negligent on the hospital's part though.

They probably wanted to track people's interactions with the site (what browser they use, how long they stay on each page, which buttons they click the most). MetaPixel will happily gather all that info for them, but it sends it off to Facebook to be processed into pretty spreadsheets and infographics that they can view in a control panels somewhere in Facebook For Business. Google Analytics works essentially the same way.

Like 200 years ago the train, an extremely efficient method of land transportation, was invented. A hundred years later a bunch of people said “I don’t want to share with poors” and now we are cursed until the end of time to try to make “trains but not for poor people.”
