That’s what you get for being entirely metrics driven.

It’s like all at once every person at leadership at every large tech company forgot about goodhearts law.

It's mostly just Goodhearts Law really. Search got worse because what metrics correlated with being a good site got gamed with SEO making them no longer work as a way to distinguish quality.

Socialdemokratiet går virkeligt efter at bevise Goodhearts lov.

De er så fokuserede på stemmer, at de er ligeglade med alt andet, inklusive den befolkning de egentlig burde hjælpe.

(And yeah, ravens matrices have nothing to do with Goodhearts law, but good luck realizing that when somebody just overwhelms you with a massive wall of text that looks like it is scientific)

Context can be nice (being able to path quickly to how an article was cited is cool), but if it catches on Goodhearts Law will kick in like it does for every merit-based metric, and it'll stop being useful

Besides, it only measures tone of language, not whether results really corroborate prior work

It does also colour your experience of it.

You do not experience it like the rest of us.

You are invested in it.

Lurking in the world of benchmarks for AI's are whole bunch of issues. AIs that know the answers to the Questions because their training data included it, or because it was on the internet and they searched for it. Goodhearts Law is at work.
Some of the tests - 'slop canons' - are easily gamed...

He's hit the big flaw (IMO) of the whole project of AI moral patiency (which he thinks entails #aiconsciousness )

IMO, What happens to be linked to moral standing in humans (and other animals) for reasons very like Goodhearts law are irrelevant to AI – AI is designed, not evolved. So this is […]
