I recently came across the following, which I really like: The Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework.

IF you decided there were one or two situations where students were allowed to use generative AI, maybe they'd be comfortable using something like this to "admit" and disclose the use of a tool to, for instance, improve the writing of a non-native English writer?

Author moved from mitigating harm of algo systems to the moral standpoint that actively resisting, sabotaging, ending AI with attached political projects are valid reaction to harm. So he's moving from monster adaptation / cultural category adaptation to monster slaying cf [[Monstertheorie 20030725114320]]. I empathise but also wonder, bc of the mention of the political projects / structures attached, about polarisation in response to monster embracers (there are plenty) shifting the [[Overton window 20201024155353]] towards them.

• comment

  • in this context, indyweb and Indranet are not the canonical unit, but then, it seems the model is fundamentally missing the functionality provided but the Indyweb and Indranet, which is and open learning system.
  • without such an open learning system that captures the essence of his humans learn, the activity of problem-solving cannot be properly contextualised, along with all of limitations leading to progress traps.
  • The entire approach of posing a problem, then solving it is inherently limited due to the fractal intertwingularity of reality.

• question: progress trap - natural capital

  • It is important to be aware that there is a real potential for a progress trap to emerge here, as any metric is liable to be abused

• summary

  • a trans-disciplinary attempt to develop a framework to deal with a diversity of emerging non-traditional intelligence from new bio-engineered species to AI based on the Buddhist conception of care and compassion for the other.
  • very thought-provoking and some of the explanations and comparisons to evolution actually help to cast a new light on old Buddhist ideas.
  • this is a trans-disciplinary paper synthesizing Buddhist concepts with evolutionary biology

holy shit....bad!!!!!

What are all the automated decisions currently be made by AI systems globally? How to get a database/list of these?

Computational != objective! Common idea rests on lots of assumptions

It is unclear what form the "alignment property" would take, and most importantly how such a property would be evaluated especially if there's an arbitrary divide between "dangerous" and "pre-dangerous" levels of capabilities and alignment of the "dangerous" levels cannot actually be measured.

I think this is yet to be seen. Although it is true that the computer always gives the same output given the same input code, a biased network with oppressive ideologies could simply transform, instead of change, our current human judiciary enforcement of the law.

not just trained with, also trained by. is it fully transparent though? Perhaps from the trainers/tools standpoint, but users are likely to fall for the tool abstracting its origins away, ELIZA style, and project agency and thus morality on it.

Love this response

And the problem is that, even human beings are not very sensitive to how this can be done well. Because there is such diversity in human cultures, preferences, and norms, deciding whose values to prioritise is problematic.

yikes

<big>评：</big><br/><br/>「电车难题」曾引起旷日持久的讨论，而它的姊妹版「运输机难题」恐怕也一时难解。对于此类道德两难的选择困境，人们通常倾向于从自己的经验判断出发——主人公「搬动方向杆使车辆撞死一人」的行为，所受到的公众谴责要远小于主人公「站在轨道上方的天桥，为了救五人而故意把桥上的另一个人推下桥以逼停电车」的选择。那么对于「运输机难题」来说呢？还有没有比「一半机组成员跳下飞机」更优的解？<br/><br/>这样的讨论又让人联想到技术主义者在 AI 人工智能领域的意见分野：一派人认为 AI 最终的目的是取代人类，而另一派人的观点则坚信 AI 旨在增强人类（augmentation）。哪一派的话语权更大呢？答案并不重要。重要的是, be nice.
