This is my sock puppet account. I know it because someone told me so. I don't even know what a sock puppet is.

Is it disk jockey? As an IT nerd I am a disk jockey. Radio guys are disc jockeys.

Like as in spinning discs.

Can someone be a disc jockey and not know they are not disk jockeys? Not sure. Or maybe I'm mistaken

Human DJs at still around on college radio.

I know that AI will never replace me until it can generate ASCII art. So far it seems to struggle so I sleep well at night.

Implying people are cheated is a nice way to increase dissatisfaction, if the goal is to produce resentment.

I'm all for unions and collective bargaining but I'm not a fan of manipulated dissatisfaction.

Access to many of the companies I worked for allowed me to support their monopolies just like desktop bundling (MS), pay store fees(AAPL), search advertising (GOOG), and so on. I guess you could call that "more productive"?

In humans this is often called impulsivity, the preference for smaller sooner outcomes. This is often seen in children and animals and in some adult human behavior.

An impulsive choice is not optimal. You can buy a cheaper pack of gum at Costco in a week or get one for three times the cost right now.

Real biological operant behavior isn't exactly trial and error learning.

Many factors shape and guide initial responses.

What I've noticed in some descriptions of models is the use of optimization for reinforcement to shape responses. In real organisms behavior may be controlled by short or long term outcomes, and may oscillate between this "optimization" based on schedules. This produces variability in the trials which can adjust behavior. Are we seeing these reinforcement models do this?

This is an ROI on AI story.

AI enables employers to make cases for "low performance" against those who take medical leave or "excessive" leave.

Once they're identified AI can generate a report they don't send enough email, talk enough at meetings, type enough keystrokes etc. to give metrics to a preordained conclusion.

Look long and hard enough and everyone will far short of cherry picked metrics in some way.

Cannot jump past fake floor bro.

Graphics too slick for GB. Needs more pixelation.
