Models are reductive, however, they are not other than that which they attempt to conceptualize. Instead they become another part of the complex they are attempting to observe. Models have agency.

Hey STS, historians and sociologists of science 🧬🧪🩺… Can you recommend great writing on the evolution of peer review? Not the philosophy thereof (tho that’s welcome) but as actually done + the institutions + culture norms that support it (Am I allowed to ask @jackiantonovich.bsky.social ?)

Anticipation is not, or at least, should not be, simply an extrapolation of the present. It is a complex, non-linear process which tries to find some trajectory, some way of “vaulting” from that which has already been experienced to that which has to be coped with.

One of the tricks is to realize, it is going to be terrible; that’s not something to be worried about. The only way to clear out the terrible is to exorcise it from your brain via the ancient rites of… scribbling it down: then reading it to yourself. Slows the words down so you can see what works.

are you displeased with today’s AI safety evaluation landscape and curious about what greater conceptual clarity, methodological soundness, and rigour in AI evaluation could look like? if so, consider coming to Dublin to pursue a PhD with me apply here: aial.ie/hiring/phd-a... pls repost

$About the PhD: Audits and evaluation of AI systems — and the broader context that AI systems operate in — have become central to conceptualising, quantifying, measuring and understanding the operations, failures, limitations, underlying assumptions, and downstream societal implications of AI systems. Existing AI audit and evaluation efforts are fractured, done in a siloed and ad-hoc manner, and with little deliberation and reflection around conceptual rigour and methodological validity. This PhD is for a candidate that is passionate about exploring what a conceptually cogent, methodologically sound, and well-founded AI evaluation and safety research might look like. This requires grappling with questions such as: What does it mean to represent “ground truth” in proxies, synthetic data, or computational simulation? How do we reliably measure abstract and complex phenomena? What are the epistemological or methodological implications of quantification and measurement approaches we choose to employ? Particularly, what underlying presuppositions, values, or perspectives do they entail? How do we ensure the lived experiences of impacted communities play a critical role in the development and justification of measurement metrics and proxies? Through exploration of these questions, the candidate is expected to engage with core concepts in the philosophy of science, history of science, Black feminist epistemologies, and similar schools of thought to develop an in-depth understanding of existing practices with the aim of applying it to advance shared standards and best practice in AI evaluation. The candidate is expected to integrate empirical (for example, through analysis or evaluation of existing benchmarks) or practical (for example, by executing evaluation of AI systems) components into the overall work.$

To quote Marx, AI teaching aids are "an instrument of torture, since the machine does not free the worker from work, but rather deprives the work itself of all content." Interacting with the students is the content of teaching. I prefer that nothing take that away from me.
