wittgenstein over here“are you outsourcing judgment to an LLM?” has got to be the most awkward question you could ever ask somebody and yet it’s something we all want to know, I think, about everyone around us these days
(i’m not claiming the territory of “outsourcing judgment” - I read it someplace today but I don’t remember where. Weird how that works)
In any case, read kant’s critique of judgment you fucking Philistines
Paul Hoffman@palvaro The only way you can get some of us to read Kant is to insult harder and longer. Even the best summaries of Kant are dense. I keep coming away with "why bother" instead of "that's interesting" or "that's useful".
@paulehoffman the words of someone who hasn’t tried hard enough to read Kant <3
@paulehoffman all joking aside though I’m not talking about the critique of pure reason. The critique of judgment concerns, maybe most importantly, aesthetics. What does it mean when we say that something is *beautiful*, and how is that different from other judgments? I think it’s a really really really important topic
Scott Francis@palvaro @paulehoffman as orgs keep learning the hard way, you can outsource the work but you can’t outsource the responsibility.
@darkuncle @paulehoffman startup idea: or can you?
@palvaro @paulehoffman startups are the modern proof of P.T. Barnum’s “there’s a sucker born every minute”
