nt here are some gan generative adversarial network jokes for an audience of generator and discriminator networks trying to one up each other 1 why did the generator get kicked out of the art exhibit because the discriminator said i can totally tell it s fake 2 a generator walks into a bar the bartender says we don t serve your kind the generator replies you will after 10 000 epochs 3 discriminator you re not real generator neither are you training stalls existential crisis ensues 4 why did the gan break up because every time the generator tried to be creative the discriminator just judged 5 the generator asked for feedback the discriminator said be less obvious the generator responded can you be more vague 6 why did the gan fail its stand up comedy routine because the audience couldn t tell if it was being ironic or just mode collapsing 7 knock knock who s there gan gan who gan you tell if this joke is original or a slightly perturbed version of an old one want

may 21st 2025 dw be the first to comment may 19 2025 ai when it s not just trying to get us to like it here s something a little encouraging about large language models i made up a weak but provocative sounding argument to see whether llm s tendency to please its users would keep it from pushing back on it personally i think it does an admirable job of pointing out weaknesses and suggesting ways they could be overcome as a good teacher might you of course well might disagree here s the interchange prompt i m outlining an argument i want to turn into an op ed or column i can get placed in a major online outlet here is the argument 1 ai thinks it thinks 2 thinking you think introduces errors of thought including an unwarranted skepticism 3 that skepticism leads to over compensation in which the thing that thinks it thinks asserts its belief with more and more confidence 4 these assertions become a mental habit that leads to more commitment to what one thinks 5 this leads to more and more errors of thought and possibly to toxic personalities what do you think of this argument if you think it s basically sound how could you make it stronger do not write the op ed for me i m only interested in the argument itself chatgpt 4 o assessment of the argument the argument is intriguing and has potential but it currently suffers from some conceptual ambiguity and logical gaps here s a breakdown strengths interesting premise the idea that ai thinks it thinks is provocative and invites readers to question the nature of ai s self perception psychological insight the progression from unwarranted skepticism to overcompensation and mental habit formation is compelling and has potential connections to cognitive bias research areas for improvement clarify thinks it thinks what does it mean for ai to think it thinks ai systems do not possess self awareness or self reflective thought but they can simulate confidence through probabilistic outputs consider reframing it as ai is programmed to simulate thinking or ai is optimized to produce increasingly confident responses avoiding anthropomorphism establish a causal mechanism the argument leaps from ai simulating thought to developing skepticism and overconfidence without a clear mechanism clarify why ai simulating thought leads to errors of thought is it due to reinforcement learning that rewards overconfidence specify how this process differs from human cognitive bias or draw a direct analogy to human overconfidence strengthen the transition from ai to human impact the argument begins with ai and ends with toxic personalities but the connection is tenuous are you arguing that ai s simulated confidence influences human users to adopt more entrenched confident positions or that human developers may overestimate ai s capabilities due to its apparent self assurance address potential objections critics may argue that ai doesn t truly believe anything so the notion of ai developing skepticism is misplaced reframe skepticism as a systemic bias rather than an ai s internal state e g ai models trained on self confirming data may amplify apparent confidence over time possible revisions to the argument structure ai simulates thought ai systems are trained to optimize outputs based on probabilistic patterns often producing responses that simulate confidence without genuine understanding simulated confidence can reinforce errors as ai systems generate more confident outputs they may inadvertently reinforce incorrect conclusions creating the appearance of unwarranted certainty reinforcement of errors may lead to overconfidence this simulation of confidence can become a self reinforcing loop where incorrect responses are increasingly presented with apparent conviction human perception of ai s confidence shapes human behavior users and developers may mistake simulated confidence for genuine accuracy adopting the ai s assertions as true and entrenching their own beliefs result erroneous thinking becomes habitual and potentially toxic this dynamic may contribute to the normalization of overconfidence leading to more entrenched dogmatic positions both in ai systems and in those who rely on them would you like to explore specific psychological or cognitive bias frameworks to support this structure or focus more on the technical aspects of ai s confidence calibration tweet follow me categories ai education machine learning philosophy too big to know tagged with ai writing date may 19th 2025 dw be the first to comment april 2 2025 tariffs explained for what seems to be a fact based explanation of the current administrations new taxes tariffs this article seems helpful of course as a world renowned non expert my assessment of what s fact based is not itself fact based because with this administration facts are squishy not stubborn things it is not yet possible to know how it s going to apply the policy according to that first link the primary goal outlined in the memorandum is to restore fairness in these trade relations through tariff equalization meaning the united states would impose reciprocal tariffs on imports from countries with higher rates than those in the united states additionally the memorandum addresses other nonreciprocal practices including unfair discriminatory or extraterritorial taxes like value added taxes nontariff barriers subsidies and onerous regulatory requirements on u s businesses abroad currency devaluation wage suppression and other mercantilist policies that disadvantage u s companies and any other practice that imposes unfair restrictions on market access or creates structural obstacles to fair competition with the united states providing the administration much leeway in assessing what constitutes unfair trade practices the article also discusses the stacking effect one sense of the term is that the new tariffs are on top of any existing tariffs but there seems to be a different sense as well for example hop to 2 25 minutes into this interview with the head of the retail industries retail association who says that the stacking of tariffs on materials e g aluminum as well as on the products that use them could raise the price of a ladder by 70 other sources use 50 total tariffs on some consumer goods as their example whatever it is it s a lot more than bringing down the cost of products mr krugman feel free to jump in to correct me even those who have not yet received our nobel prizes ups apparently mis delivered mine are welcome to fix my errors

fact checks its ai ass a minute ago i posted a post that claude the excellent ai chat bot wrote for me it s about nautical twilight that apparently is a real thing at least i just asked it to fact check what it wrote here s the transcript claude writes let me fact check my blog post about nautical twilight accurate information nautical twilight is defined as when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon during nautical twilight the horizon remains visible while bright stars appear this combination made it ideal for celestial navigation celestial navigation traditionally used a sextant to measure angles between celestial bodies and the horizon the term nautical relates to its usefulness for navigation many marine organisms do change their behavior during twilight periods diel vertical migration the u s naval academy did reinstate celestial navigation training in 2015 after removing it from the curriculum potentially misleading or requiring clarification i didn t specify that nautical twilight happens twice daily both before sunrise morning nautical twilight and after sunset evening nautical twilight photographers often call the period shortly after sunset before sunrise the blue hour but this typically overlaps with civil twilight more than nautical twilight while some marine species do time migrations with light changes i should ve been more specific about which species and behaviors missing context i didn t mention that nautical twilight duration varies significantly by latitude and season i didn t explain that nautical almanacs contain pre calculated data for celestial navigation i didn t clarify that while celestial navigation is still taught gps and other electronic navigation systems are the primary methods used today overall the core information about what nautical twilight is and its historical significance for navigation is accurate but some details could be more precise and additional context would strengthen the piece

about something you know that is not directly referenced in your training materials it should be of general interest and written in a way that makes the topic clear and engaging assume an intelligent but non specialist reader response the curious case of nautical twilight the navigator s golden hour there s a moment just before sunrise or after sunset when the world lingers between day and night sailors call it nautical twilight a time when the horizon remains visible but stars begin to appear in the sky this in between time has guided mariners for centuries and continues to hold significance even in our gps dominated world what exactly is nautical twilight twilight itself comes in three distinct flavors civil nautical and astronomical each represents a different stage in the sun s journey below the horizon measured by precise angles nautical twilight occurs when the sun sits between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon during this period the sky isn t completely dark but it s dim enough for the brightest stars to become visible most importantly for navigation the horizon remains distinctly visible as a line separating sea and sky this combination visible horizon plus visible stars created the perfect conditions for traditional celestial navigation a technique that guided ships across vast oceans long before electronic aids existed the navigator s perfect moment before modern instruments sailors determined their position using sextants to measure the angle between celestial bodies and the horizon this technique called shooting the stars required both the stars and horizon to be visible simultaneously precisely what nautical twilight provides the navigator would wait on deck during this brief window sextant in hand ready to take measurements of multiple stars these measurements combined with precise timing and nautical almanacs allowed calculation of latitude and longitude with remarkable accuracy the term itself reveals its origins this wasn t just any twilight but specifically the twilight useful to those who navigate nautical coming from the latin nauticus related to ships or sailing beyond navigation nautical twilight affects more than just navigation marine ecosystems undergo significant changes during this period many marine species time their daily vertical migrations to coincide with these light changes swimming up from the depths to feed when dimmer conditions offer protection from predators while still providing enough light to hunt fishermen have long known this transition triggers feeding frenzies among certain fish species the old adage about fishing being best at dawn and dusk has scientific backing these crepuscular periods from latin crepusculum meaning twilight often mark peak activity for many aquatic creatures photographers chase nautical twilight for its distinctive quality of light what they often call the blue hour the indirect illumination creates deep blue tones and soft shadows that can t be replicated at any other time of day nautical twilight in the modern world while gps has largely replaced celestial navigation for practical purposes nautical twilight remains relevant military vessels and aircraft are still trained in celestial navigation techniques as backup systems should electronic navigation fail some maritime training programs and traditional sailing vessels maintain these skills as part of their curriculum the u s naval academy actually reinstated celestial navigation classes in 2015 after a nearly two decade hiatus recognizing the vulnerability of electronic systems to disruption experiencing nautical twilight you don t need to be a sailor to appreciate nautical twilight the next time you re near water around dawn or dusk pay attention to that specific moment when the first stars appear while the horizon remains clearly visible you re witnessing the same conditions that guided countless mariners across trackless oceans for centuries in our brightly lit modern world these twilight moments offer something increasingly rare a glimpse into how our ancestors experienced the natural rhythms of light and darkness that once governed all human activity this daily transition between worlds not fully day not fully night continues its steady rhythm regardless of whether we notice it a subtle celestial dance that has oriented travelers since humans first
