as long as I am crashing out about AI again, let me just take a swing at another inane supposed “truism” that has been bugging me: “the model you’re using today is the worst model”, i.e. the tech always gets better. sam altman literally said this about gpt-4 and everyone seems to accept it as fact

안 장관은 "작년 12월 4일 오전 1시 1분에 비상계엄 해제가 의결되자 하급자가 '대령님, 지금 계엄 해제가 의결됐으니 출동하면 안 됩니다'라고 얘기했다고 한다"며 "그럼에도 '가자, 따라오라'고 해서 거기(한강공원)까지 갔다는 것"이라고 설명했다. 이어 "(국회의 계엄 해제 의결 이후이니) 2차 계엄을 준비하러 간 것"이라고 덧붙였다. 그러면서 "그래서 (태업을 했다는 것은) 반은 맞고 반 이상은 틀린 것"이라며 "더 주의 깊게 봐야 한다"고 밝혔다. --- 태업이 아니라 2차계엄 나오기를 기다리며 라면먹은거군-_-

If you are an author whose work is on the ACM DL, I'd like to strongly encourage you to check the accuracy of the AI Summary of your paper, and send feedback to the ACM on this feature and the inaccuracies in your summary. See more here: dl.acm.org/generative-ai/summa

Please boost, repost, and otherwise steal this post to reach other authors.

In long:

The ACM has begun rolling out "Digital Library Premium" features. A very notable one is AI Summaries of papers, which displace the author written abstract with an AI generated summary of the paper on the front page for the paper.

Of the several I've checked, they all contain subtle inaccuracies that would VERY EASILY mislead even experts familiar with the work.

This is a HUGE DISSERVICE TO SCIENCE. These summaries might appear to make science more accessible, but subtle errors introduced into the authors original text is the very opposite of making science more accessible. This will mislead rather than educate.

The ACM has a feature to send feedback on these summaries. Open your DOI, and look for the "Feedback" button on the right of the page, or the "Send Feedback" link in the footer. (You might need to disable ad-blockers, as this services uses mopinion.com)

The ACM is requesting this feedback, and it's important to let them know that such "hallucinations" are not solvable:

These tools were designed in consultation with a diverse group of Digital Library stakeholders and will continue to evolve as Artificial Intelligence advances. We are continuously tuning our Foundational Model to optimize readability and we conduct regular audits for hallucinations and other errors. We are very interested in your thoughts and suggestions- please leave them by clicking the "Feedback" button on the far right of this page. If you find a problem with a specific AI-generated summary, please return to that summary and click the Feedback there.

More aggressively, you might email dl-team@hq.acm.org (also linked in the footer).

Update 1: It seems the ACM no longer displaces the abstract with these summaries, so I can hope this feedback has been helpful in affecting change.

Update 2: It seems these summaries have been generated on papers whose license may forbid it, such as CC-BY-ND. If you have a restrictive license on your paper, you may check whether it’s being followed and send further feedback if not.

I'm about to sign off for the year - actually, I was ready to do it yesterday, but then I happened upon a brief piece of writing that was so perfect that I decided I'd do one more edition of Pluralistic for 2025.

【BUILT-IN PRO 電器專門店特約】近年不少內地旅客來港行山郊遊,露營亦成為熱門選項之一。位於新界東北的塔門近年吸引不少內地旅客到訪,惟近日有廣東網民在小紅書分享於塔門島露營及燒烤的經歷,引起部分網民關注,並提醒在香港非指定地點生火或燒烤,或已違反相關法例。

該名網民在小紅書以《沒有野豬的塔門島露營》為題發文,介紹一行人由市區前往塔門的交通路線,包括乘搭港鐵至大學站B出口,再前往馬料水碼頭轉乘街渡登島,形容「市區坐船一個半小時才到的塔門島,一晚沒有遇到野豬」。帖文亦分享在島上草地搭帳篷、四處觀光及欣賞海島風景的過程。

片段所見,一行人在露營後準備燒烤食材,包括蝦、雞翼、蔬菜及串燒等,並以石頭及鐵絲網臨時搭建燒烤爐,燃點木塊生火燒烤。此外,他們亦自備小型燃氣罐及簡單爐具,即場示範炮製「潮汕烤魷魚」,部分未熟食材則以白灼方式處理,並帶備調味料。翌日畫面亦顯示,一行人煮食公仔麵等早餐,食物相當豐富。

DEI losing ground as White men make gains in the boardroom~
"Following the national uprising over the murder of George Floyd, corporations sought out more women and people of color to diversify their boards of directors.

For a time, the once ironclad dominance of men – especially White men – in the corporate boardroom appeared to be slipping. Over the past five years, racial and ethnic representation rose 20% and female representation 18% in companies included in the Russell 3000 index, according to data and analytics firm ISS-Corporate."
And yet... "White men urged to file discrimination claims in anti-DEI escalation"
I hope that anyone filing such a claim realizes what a whiney little punk they are if they do.
