EX-
CUSE-
ME???

generative AI tools... are meant... to produce text, not support decision-making. Wtf ( :

How the fuck are they supposed to support my decision making if I can't trust the """""information""""" they're giving me to be accurate???

This is from a @yorkuniversity.bsky.social training
A question from a training: What is the recommended role of generative AI tools? a) To replace human decision-making b) To make decisions requiring moral considerations c) To support human decision-making (c is supposed to be the "correct" answer)

now if I scale the response by a factor of 2, it all lines up. (Which makes sense because the task is REALLY easy!)
same plot as before but I scale up the response by a factor of two and now the two traces match perfectly

bad, doesnt make sense, strange, odd, weird, response (red) and stimulus (black) should line up so much better
Plot of position of stimulus and response over time. Response lines up so much worse than expected.

The other night on Church Street. A miserable 50cm for pedestrians """""cleared"""" versus 8m for cars. And whenever I walk there I see more pedestrians than damn cars.

Bitch that's a WILD increase in biking trips year over year here in Toronto (per @graphicmatt.com, highly recommend to subscribe to his City Hall Watch newsletter!!!! cityhallwatcher.com)
Graphic showing an increase in cycling on Yonge Street and Sherbourne Street (in Toronto) in 2024 versus previous year by month. Biking increased by 30-40% April to August, 50-65% September to November, and more than 100% in Feburary and March!!!!

do brain types know the difference between accuracy and precision as we use it in CogPsy? I have a talk in front of ~ neuroscientists ~ this week, should I show them this lovely little graphic?
The good old dart board graphic that explains the difference between accuracy and precision

These random bits of Threads are the reason I use Instagram about 80% less
Screenshot of a Threads preview off Instagram, saying: "Masculine vs. Feminine Brain: Nice Guy vs. Kind Man. Nice guys are stuck in 'feminine brain' mode -- overthinking, avoiding conflict, and craving validation."

wow this NASA review thing that I just skimmed (ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citation...) has absolutely no chill
Screenshot that reads "However, it is unclear to what extent these models are propelling the scientific community further or simply repeating and repackaging previous contributions to the literature."

A screen capture from Rotten Tomatoes that shows that "Perfect Days" has 96% on the Tomatometer and a 89% Audience Score (which is outrageous because the movie was boring as fuck, literally the only good thing about it was the toilet architecture we got to see)
