Reply to comment by HamiltonBrae in Our emotional experiences reveal facts about the world in the same way our sensory experiences do. Trusting in either requires a leap of faith to some degree. by IAI_Admin

There could be some crossover in pattern recognition behaviours that may be construed as 'leap-of-faith' adjacent. This possibly points more towards skewed expectations due to life events with a high impact influencing interpretations of stimuli, good or bad, perhaps more profoundly on the bad interpretations as a matter of experiential response.

I think we hit cognitive blindspots at times, where some thing like the idea of a 'leap of faith' has a specific impulse associated with it. Sometimes these ideas aren't so much a conscious thought process, but more of a 'taking for granted' that the next step is always there and positively reinforcing. An example might be thinking unconsciously 'I have been safe at all times in my life, therefore all times are safe' and pushing boundaries that can seem like leaps of faith in the everything-is-going-to-be-alright category, even though never consciously made.

'Whose' objectivity? If twitter were to enable such a function, would it be imprinted with Elno's objectivity? Would it be in competition with other gpt truth bots? Would this necessarily change the current state? If it did change the current state, would that change be propagated outside twitter?

I get what your going for, but your interest in this seems predicated on 'good faith' which is in extremely short supply.

Reply to comment by Plump_Apparatus in TIL John Steinbeck IV wrote an article in January 1968 about marijuana usage among the troops. This set off a media firestorm, & the Army began clamping down on marijuana usage, arresting ~1000 G.I.s a week for possession. Many G.I.s switched to heroin, which was odorless and thus harder to detect. by The_Critical_Cynic

Reply to comment by AndreasRaaskov in How the concept: Banality of evil developed by Hanna Arendt can be applied to AI Ethics in order to understand the unintentional behaviour of machines that are intelligent but not conscious. by AndreasRaaskov

If the goal is to morals gate ANI, then the process is limited to the rule construction methodology of instruction writers. This would be the banality of evil within such a system, culpability. It's furthered by the apathy of iteration where a narrowed optimization ai obfuscates instruction sets to greyscale through black box, thereby enabling a loss of complete understanding while denying culpability as 'wasn't me' while pointing at a blackish box they built themselves.

In the case of facebook, the obviousness of the effect has no bearing. It has virtually no consequence without a culpability the current justice system is capable of attending to. Whether due to a lack of applicable laws, or the adver$arial nature of the system, or the expectation of 'free market' corrections by 'rational people', the end product is highly representative of the banality that has no impetus to change.
