AI is Dunning-Kruger as a service

Recent commentary [1]:
escalating concern over the use of the more powerful #chatbots when they are used to go beyond the #knowledge of the human expert who uses them, rather than for simply pre-processing in a controlled way within the domain of human-expert knowledge.

1. ⁠What is often called "hallucination/confabulation” (i.e. severe #extrapolation #uncertainty and #overfitting by the chatbot model) is apparently becoming increasingly realistic with a declining human ability to detect it

I hear so often: 'People don't want to get #knowledge, ah, I tried to explain them complicated stuff and they didn't listen.' Stop!
Try to get a more peopley perspective. See their #curiosity! Perhaps you could teach your stuff differently?

"Decolonisation is sometimes presented, not as an attempt to resurrect the dispassionate search for knowledge, but as a rejection of the idea of objectivity, which is seen as a sort of heritage of colonial thinking.

[but]

One can reject universal truths without endorsing relativism."

Listen! #Knowledge coming from #museums:
" #ActivityPub is plumbing. It is plumbing built on top of the web, which coordinates the ability for independently operated services, for example a collection of federated social media services, to exchange messages with each other in a decentralized manner.
So #SFOMuseum has built its own ActivityPub server for publishing #socialmedia style messages.
In doing so, it means that we can(& have)created social media accounts for 60,000 objects in our collection including this roll of #HelloKitty toilet paper from #EvaAirlines."
