CW: LLMs as addiction / operant conditioning
Some very insightful comments in this thread i.m.o.
"It's classic Skinnerian operant conditioning with intermittent (variable rate) rewards. You want whatever it's outputting to be good (code, text, image, etc). Sometimes it isn't but sometimes it is, and you can't usually understand why. When it is good, you experience the reward. The fact that the reward is intermittent and inscrutable makes the desire to repeat the behavior extremely strong."
"Normally an intermittent reward is a sign of a skill that one can master. ... It makes sense that as a species for which tool use is so fundamental that we'd be especially prone to this. ... But we really aren't prepared for when the thing can't be mastered, where it's fundamentally unreliable."
"the slot machine cycle... if I can just figure out exactly how to word this prompt..."
"It feels so overwhelmingly good to some % of people they don't even bother to measure if their AI stuff is actually doing anything useful, because of course it must be, because the feeling is so strong."

Strong interest in the #SPROttawa2024 structured discussion on
"Going beyond quantitative routine outcome monitoring in real world settings"
The discussion focuses quickly on #MachineLearning and AI, especially on extracting features from video recordings and inferring psychological states from them.
Very cool methodology with several practical advantages, but it looks like an interesting resurrection of pre-cognitive turn behavioural paradigms.

Terminology question!
What names and abbreviations do the behavioural therapies being used on autistic people/children have?
The ones I have so far are ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), PBS (Positive Behavior Support), and SST (Social Skills Training).
Shares appreciated too 💓

Generally speaking, what do people want?
To feel bad by learning about how their own air polluting activities are causing diseases & climate change?
Or, on average, do people prefer to watch & listen to the feel good advertising, that doesn't mention air pollution whilst selling a, for example, hybrid fuel burning vehicle or a holiday complete with "carbon offsetting" in accommodation with a "fireside" feeling

Interesting, though concerning, comparison between what happens in primate cultures when the "peace keepers", e.g., those who aim to breakup fights, are not able to. Generally, the group becomes sociopolarised & breaks up into smaller ingroups that don't cooperate
