在台灣辦聲援香港或是 Tibet 的活動會被騷擾,聽起來是很嚴重的滲透問題。

昨天的討論讓我想到《Weapons of Math Destruction》這本書,查了一下發現竟然已經10年了。

10年前,就有一整本書在講演算法與數學模型,強化偏見與歧視的危險!

很不幸的,10年之後,這些模型被LLM包裝成似人的,更通用的「AI」,然後他們可能的偏見與歧視卻更不為人知🥲。

真的是超級諷刺的,昨天才在想週末和朋友聊的 Taiwan Studies 領域的研究內容。
所以這個站長認為,整個學界領域的知識,是 AI 模型可以憑空整理出來的?
世界上到底有什麼這個規模的事情會這麼簡單?

為什麼會有人挖一個維基百科大小的坑自己跳下去,而且一上線就寫 AI content welcome⋯⋯這應該很快就會出事了吧。然後又說,希望AI能看到屬於台灣人的內容,那是⋯⋯用AI內容訓練AI嗎?

動機很值得鼓勵,但再怎麼偉大的動機,都不該是走捷徑的藉口吧?

My self-hosted services were down for 5 hours yesterday because of a circular dependency 🤦‍♂️.

It is such a cliche mistake. Yes, DNS was involved. It’s always DNS.

每次聽做Taiwan Studies 研究的朋友講他的主題都覺得,啊,人就是要有這種眼睛發光的熱情才能在一個領域讀PhD 啊⋯⋯而且每次聽這些研究都一邊覺得很有趣,一邊覺得原來我們不知道的事情還有很多很多。

真心覺得Taiwan Studies領域在形塑的是那個未來想像的國家的獨特的靈魂。希望這個學界能繼續成長。

Taipei was raided by the US Air Force back in 1945, and declassified reconnaissance photos clearly show school campuses were indistinguishable from army camps and were marked as such.

A solution that involves the possibility of dropping bombs on children should not be easily reached. Something we should have learned since almost a century ago.

Spent my commute hours listening to https://ifanyonebuildsit.com/

It is frustrating that extinction-level events often require planet-level action and coordination, and humanity just doesn't have the capacity to act on it.

If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies

The race to superhuman AI risks extinction, but it's not too late to change course.

In all seriousness — I wonder when the current arrangement of capitalism is going to end.

It has always been that middle/upper middle classes are allowed to enjoy their share of equity growth through stock ownership.

With the acknowledgement that this is already leaving a large swath of people in society behind — I wonder when public stock markets become unpalatable with even richer people are shutting stock-owning public out. Or dump their losses on them.

It may already be happening.

I heard enough stories to know that when a company goes public (IPO), they often need to build a nice-sounding story about themselves in their S-1 filing.

While these are official SEC filings, we all know stories are meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

But when you hear the next company to IPO allegedly is going to say “building a Dyson Swarm in the solar system”, you know it is going to need a giant pile of unhealthy salt to the palate. 😂
