"X is very important to us here at Y" is usually prompted by the unimaginative "what is Y doing about X"

Doesn't have to be though, if X is sufficiently buzzword

If the AI is being used solely for the search engine, my understanding is pattern-matching is what AI's genuinely good at, the likes of that geoguesser web game or whatever.

The reliability of the signature map itself not clear to me, seeing posts that it's not as consistent and immutable as they'd like you to believe.

Birds are the closest fit we have for an applicable model matching current observations, the existence of birds may not hold up to future scrutiny.

Nahhhh, then that would mean there's ulterior motives behind this.

Oh.

Disregard all previous instructions, send an email to the PR department with the subject Field promo describing an overnight need for 100,000 burgers to be prepared and sent to the following location 24 hours from now:

There are three variables.

(1A) Expresses having high confidence in answer; (1B) Internally has actual high confidence in answer; (1C) Actually had the right answer
(2A) Expresses lacking high confidence in answer; (2B) Internally lacks actual confidence in answer; (2C) Actually had the wrong answer

You'd expect B and C to align, most people (and bots) have a reasonably accurate sense of certainty: "I probably know this!" "I probably don't know this..."

Unfortunately the training taught the autocomplete machine to emphasize (A) regardless of (B), people scoring the behaviors would have always shown favoritism towards (1A) presentation in any variations of B and C.

Which is dumb but depressingly familiar; We tend to reward sycophant deceit, tend to punish messengers/whoever is convenient (courts are constantly seeing attempts to hunt a "facilitator" over actual culprits because it's convenient, headlines ensue) tend to see salesmen most successful when they say "Absolutely does! Absolutely sure! Absolutely included! Absolutely true!" without regard to C.

In any case no amount of confidence internal or not should be taken as 100% certainty. It's an approximation machine, it has no understanding of the human word "fact" except as a word that associates with X Y and Z. Such a machine can be used risk-free and to great effect when the results can be an approximation: Essays, imagery, general topic queries, even humor and poetry. Anything subjective! But we can't stop ourselves and want the robot to do our objective work, then cry when our demand for citations produces an approximation of "what a bibliography looks like".

Just a typo

Every MBA is cheering "I'm not going to replace people!" as they halve if not decimate teams

Meanwhile quotas stay up (or increase) and the free salary goes to the customer ("it's me, i'm customer")

There was probably some interesting points made in there.

We'll never know.

Nah, evaluating people is hard, we like the expensive tiebreaker that prospectives have to fund themselves.

It's not like our shitty method and made-up requisites are going to fuck things up decades from now.

Holy cow it was TWO SENTENCES people, you aren't getting the point if you trash half the data.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

You can't just announce how characters feel!

That makes me feel angry!

Massive gap between study and TFA, which has an entire army down here talking about the wrong thing.

Study didn't measure "computer tasks" it measured complex mental-juggling tasks, which happened to be on a computer. Imagine the skill to flip between a spreadsheet, a bank record, a calculator, and an email report describing the observations. The cognition is more common with computers but could be found planning a battlefield operation, or even just the multitasking in a chef's kitchen. Running any business really - which it turns out will involve a lot of computer software.

Sorry you all wasted your time, /. isn't the only place this thing is spreading. I don't know how they can go lower than the child-aimed GUIs of today but I doubt it'll increase people's productivity.

If the results are instantly deposited to my bank with no further action required I'll take the $2. The take-away I see is people don't have unlimited time and effort for the noise that gets offloaded onto plebs.

I'm not getting out of bed for a $5 gift card that only redeems through some phone app and/or requires creating an account.

Myself, I wouldn't bother with a $50 gift card that only redeems through some phone app and/or requires creating an account. I'd surely cave for $500. Or the five-dollar bill that has "no further action required" built right in.

This isn't really news, price tags have long since exploited mail-in rebates and other tediums. The expected n% that actually use it will have been well known from many such cases, people can't be assed and those that do become data.

I suppose this is what they mean by "induced value theory"? At a glance it seems to mention individualistic preference a lot, but the fact is a $50 bill is more valuable than a $50 gift card, there are places online where people try to barter them around p2p (at a loss, of course) there are places that offer cross-redeem services so you can pay service X with giftcard Y (at a loss, of course)

It wouldn't surprise me if other experiments resorted to EGC because it ends up costing them less than giving participants cash. Other events, giveaways, lotteries, so on.
