wait, we might need to clarify our interpretation of the valence toward prometheus in the myth here.

It’s interesting, but also expectedβ€”the original data is there, it’s possible to just learn to identify and downweight synthetic data that doesn’t generalize in that scenario.

I think it’s a different phenomenon that *replacing* with synthetic data doesn’t collapse.

Are there papers that explore when this does or doesn’t occur? Because if this is systematically true now it’s an important theoretical question of what architecture / training features yield this featureβ€”it isn’t intrinsic since there were model collapse results on some setups.

And also for the sake of completeness, I don’t have unlimited deference to the professions. As an AMA member: AMA is largely a lobbying body for the economic interests of well-off physicians. But it *also* has many people who genuinely care about our professional ethics, and that is a real check.

I know this does nothing because we’re like post-search and maybe post-web now, but I would say I think it’s important to hold on to the notion that we did a fairly sh*t job regulating those, too lol

I guess my position boils down to:

Someone on a thread mentioned ~Hey what happens when someone says β€œI think I’m trans,” silence? My response is, Actually that shouldn’t be up to AI companiesβ€”look at OpenAI’s govt relations, you think that’ll be objective? Professions give some insulation there.

I can definitely see trends toward anti-AI regulatory being more of posturing than actual genuine reckoning with the new environment afforded by these systems πŸ˜” +

06.03.2026 14:29 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

For sure, though, there is very good reason to have a certain degree of regulatory introspection over these interactions, in the same way that we have regulatory scrutiny if your psychic performs heart surgery. I mean that isn’t censoring your psychic, it’s just assessing risk and benefit.

06.03.2026 14:18 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I think the β€œgood outcome” would be a version of this, where interactions that fall within licensed domains must conform to professional standards for scope of practice for AI systems in that profession. Then professions ideally would assess the evidence and delineate what can be done autonomously.+

It’s a tension, rightβ€”right now, it is very bad that it’s pretty much the Wild West out there for AI services to provide medical advice etc. with ~zero oversight as to quality. That also harms people. But so does not recognizing that there is a genuine, if different, role for AI in these areas. +

Radar Detector
Detectors: Everything You Need to Know
By Vortex Β© November 8, 2017 & 10 mins to read
In areas where radar detectors are illegal, police commonly use radar detector detectors (RDD's) to locate drivers who are running radar detectors.
How do they work? How easily can they spot radar detector users? How effective are "undetectable" radar detectors at avoiding detection from a radar detector detector? Let's take a look and cover everything you need to know about radar detector detectors.

As I’ve said for a long time:

1. These things on code are essentially local k-NN on the internet.
2. The benchmarks are fake PR gadgets and don’t mean anything at this point.
3. That’s fine, local k-NN on the Internet for code isn’t Jesus but it’s a hell of a tool.
