Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

In short, using AI in your writing is among the dumbest things you can do as a writer as it exposes you to potential legal action while affording you zero legal protections. AI is a nightmare box for idiots. Don't fall into the trap of shortcutting your writing career.

In the spirit of listless shortcutting I'm just going to repost my first wisecrack about this
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this but I'm kinda irritated that I don't drink iced coffee but now I have to bring one to every job interview just to make sure I don't end up working for internet-poisoned freaks

THIS. What we incentivize through hiring and promotion 100% fuels shortcutting like using LLMs etc.
This is a symptom of how broken academia is. The goal is to keep publishing papers nobody reads, at a pace that can interfere with rigorous work. Scientific papers equate volume of publication with quality, and now all academics fields are trapped in a rat race of poor contributions to their field.
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

The authors point out that AI models base their predictions on sneaky shortcut effects all the time; they're just easier to identify when the conclusions (beer drinking) are clearly spurious.

Academia is classic game and metagame. The ‘game’ is acquiring skills and knowle by dge so you can produce a paper , the metagame is ‘producing a paper’ and that’s all you’re marked on, hence cheating and shortcutting that means you win the metagame while opting out of the game.
The thing is, 95% bullshitting a paper is actually doing most of the important skills development work of writing a paper . "The point of writing a paper is to have a good final product" is something believed by people who paid others to write their papers but somehow they run universities now
Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

People called Steve who abbreviate their already-one-syllable name to Ste are the laziest shit fucks ever. I'd never employ anyone who called themselves Ste, which screams shortcutting slacker.

A thing there to really pull out and examine is just how LAZY and SHORTCUTTING this whole AI allure is for them.
They don't want to take the time and make the effort to actually *learn* a subject. They just want to be able to input some prompts from their couch and feel like they're experts.

The act of researching, collecting reference material, writing a brief, or actually making (not generating) a rough sketch as a non-artist helps you hone in exactly what is important to share and what is open for the artist's interpretation

She said this today: The consumer facing product they're using to sell people on AI is ChatGPT. The wormtongue kiddie porn app. That's the sell! Not the other uses for it. At some point you gotta ask yourself whether its worth it to just learn the skill you're shortcutting if it means less CSAM

Super Meatboy 3D feels great from the the 10 min I have played. Sometimes it feels a bit too fast but it has this pretty satisfying feeling of "shortcutting" and learning the level design.

A meta-analysis of studies using Tolman’s sunburst maze suggests poor replicability and little evidence for shortcutting. Ouch! Definitely relevant reading for anyone interested in cognitive maps! 👇
Can humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts?
Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze.
Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think.

Tolman's Sunburst Maze 80 Years on: A Meta‐Analysis Reveals Poor Replicability and Little Evidence for Shortcutting
In 1946, Tolman et al. reported that rats could take a novel shortcut to a goal after training on an indirect route, supporting the Cognitive Map theory. However, a review of subsequent Sunburst maze...

When I wrote a book on AI in 2019, it focused on AIs making sneaky shortcuts.
Aside from the vintage generative text (Pumpkin Trash Break ice cream, anyone?), the algorithmic shortcutting is still completely recognizable today.

Trump promised a battleship in 30 months. The CBO says the first one will likely take 8 years or more. It’s projected to cost $23.4 billion, and the full 25-ship fleet could run about $455 billion. Another Trump promise sunk before it ever left the dock.
