Will 🏳️‍🌈<p>My mom gave me an interesting thought experiment yesterday during our regular call. She was planning on moving to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where my sister lives, if my dad passes on before her.</p><p>Well, she asked about buying a townhouse with me instead. I pushed back that the politics in Wyoming are way too conservative for my comfort zone. So she countered with moving to Greeley, Colorado, where I live in northern Colorado.</p><p>This led to a whole day of introspection, talking with my sister on her feelings on this (surprise, she’s supportive!), and talking with my apartment property manager about the logistics. *That* led to me suggesting she move to my complex and we get a larger unit.</p><p>We could be good for each other, if boundaries are respected.</p><p>Anyone do something similar that could offer insights or considerations?</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SeniorLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeniorLiving</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/LivingWithParents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivingWithParents</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ThoughtExperiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThoughtExperiment</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a></p>

AI agents acting on behalf of human principals are supposed to lead us into a new age of productivity and convenience. The eloquence of AI-generated text and the narrative of super-human intelligence invite us to trust these systems more than we have trusted any human or algorithm ever before.</p><p>It is difficult to know whether a machine is actually intelligent because of problems with construct validity, plagiarism, reproducibility and transferability in AI benchmarks. Most people will either have to personally evaluate the usefulness of AI tools against the benchmark of their own lived experience or be forced to trust an expert.</p><p>To explain this conundrum I propose the Intelligent AI Coin Thought Experiment and discuss four objections: the restriction of agents to low-value decisions, making AI decisionmakers open source, adding a human-in-the-loop and the general limits of trust in human agents.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/politicalscience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>politicalscience</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ThoughtExperiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThoughtExperiment</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Benchmarks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Benchmarks</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Validity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Validity</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Plagiarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plagiarism</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Reproducibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reproducibility</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Transferability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Transferability</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Decisionmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Decisionmaking</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Intelligence</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LargeLanguageModel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LargeLanguageModel</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithm</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a></p>

And frankly, Bill Clinton signed some of the most repressive legislation that has ever been wielded as a hammer against poor people and people of color. What Nixon and Halderman and the others have been worried about was a population of free black and brown people, who were educated, employed and able to participate in the so-called American Dream. 4/7</p>

I asked Europeans not to reply, because their underlying causes of right wing discontent are different from ours AND because they are more willing to critically look at systems than Americans are. I wanted to hear from the people who live here. 1/7</p>
