I think some papers in AIES need to read this work.

I wrote this brief talk on why “augmenting diversity” with LLMs is empirically unsubstantiable, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful and a nice surprise to see the organisers have made it public

title: Cheap science, real harm: the cost of replacing human participation with synthetic data author: Abeba Birhane abstract: Driven by the goals of augmenting diversity, increasing speed, reducing cost, the use of synthetic data as a replacement for human participants is gaining traction in AI research and product development. This talk critically examines the claim that synthetic data can “augment diversity,” arguing that this notion is empirically unsubstantiated, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful. While speed and cost-efficiency may be achievable, they often come at the expense of rigour, insight, and robust science. Drawing on research from dataset audits, model evaluations, Black feminist scholarship, and complexity science, I argue that replacing human participants with synthetic data risks producing both real-world and epistemic harms at worst and superficial knowledge and cheap science at best

As I quote clipped, the "E" in AIES stands for "Ethics," and using Claude for an opening presentation seems tone deaf to me, at best.

Are algorithm audits meaningfully fixing issues in algorithmic systems? In our paper at #AIES2026 this week, @davidthewid.bsky.social and I argue that it’s time to deprioritize algorithm audits & instead shift scrutiny to the larger systems of power in which audits sit. 1/n

New #AIES paper w/ @benzevgreen.bsky.social & @tisjune.bsky.social - "Deconstructing AI Hype: A Playbook for Resistance"! Read here: shreyachowdhary.net/files/decons...

We argue that AI hype is a problem not because it misdescribes AI, but because it facilitates AI entrenchment.

Désolé que tu aies loupé ce chef d'œuvre avant. La vision de Marlène Jobert dans ce film m'avait à l'époque occasionné de torrides émois préadolescent.

Attending AIES this week, and want to learn more about when AI gains can become broadly shareable?

Stop by Poster 711 tomorrow (Wed Oct 14) to learn more! (hint: one big lever is corporate taxation at a Scandinavian rate, rather than full nationalization!)

Il est possible que tu aies des plusieurs réponses de personnes différentes qui fréquentent un seul et même établissement
Est-ce que ça ne fausse pas tes réponses?

Je sais que ça part d'un bon sentiment mais ça fait 4 mois que je suis dessus donc à moi que tu aies un contact pertinent dans une entreprise, je crois que j'ai déjà fait le tour du sujet.
