@Bot4Sale @msdropbear42 I agree… but that’s exactly the problem.
How does anyone watch Sky News Australia and not question why it’s so consistently one sided?
At some point you’d think viewers would ask why it’s not just reporting facts and letting people make up their own minds. -
In a post to his Truth Social propaganda mouth piece, Trump posted, "As everyone knows, | am an extraordinarily brilliant person.."
Trump's post belongs in the dictionary as an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect

🤔 Random thought. I do not mean this in a pejorative way. More anthropologically speaking, in terms of "studying people" and observing their interactions with each another & emerging tech.
– How folks choose to use AI (or not) reveals little glimpses into one's thought process and ability (willingness?) to pay attention to seemingly inconsequential details. Code nuance, so to speak.
– In that way, it is a bit like the phenomena of the Dunning-Kruger effect. That is a fascinating story (link in the comments). Two psychologists posited that without a certain baseline level of self-awareness, humans tend to over-estimate their own abilities.
– I think that tends to compound with AI. Someone can prompt their way to passable results. Which to the untrained eye (vibe-* coder, designer, businessperson) look just like the "real thing."
– Emulating versions of success they have seen others have. Without comprehension. Like me in the 1990s, thinking if I could wear Air Jordans then… Maybe? A half-Asian kid could play basketball at that level.
Such workflows tend to result in some comical outcomes. Those who create the vibe-work present it to others who vibe-evaluate it, and everyone continues along happily until something breaks. That inadvertently places a heavier burden on those who understand the fundamentals, to serve as a backstop against quality control.
I half-jokingly said to another principal engineer friend:
> "I miss the days when iffy devs tended to move slowly. Now they can churn out iffy stuff at ludicrous speed."
Essentially, the difference between these statements.
1️⃣ "AI writes better code than me. It can keep large chunks of contextual details straight. Whereas I cannot. Ergo, AI is better at writing code than all developers."
2️⃣ "AI writes better code than me. I use it to generate things that appear correct to my eyes. However, levels of human competence exist beyond my own."

"Or what they consider that to be. That is what makes them so unpredictable. Consequently, they couldn’t care less about international law.
Second parallel: their megalomania has led to massive military miscalculation."

"Both Putin and Trump clearly acted out of a kind of megalomania. Their behaviour is evil and unlawful, but rational motives are not the decisive factors. Rather, Putin and Trump are primarily concerned with their own greatness. Or what they consider that to be."

Greg Dworkin quotes Acyn of MeidasTouch, who says,
"Trump on Iran: We really had regime change. This is a change in the regime because the leaders are all different. I think we can say this is regime change."
Dworkin responds:
"A 6 year old could do deeper analysis."

"This is the first war of my lifetime that lacks even a coherent phony justification. It's also the first war of my lifetime in which the president who launched it is simultaneously engaged in a desperate search for a trapdoor through which he can escape."

"Especially in an administration so driven by the whims of one man, that man’s ignorance and unearned confidence can have a profound, even catastrophic effect. In the Iran war, we can see Trump’s ignorance operating at multiple levels from the general to the specific, each of which has its own consequences."

"We have ourselves a Dunning-Kruger president, one who is supremely confident in his abilities on a range of topics where he is completely ignorant. And now he has taken us into a Dunning-Kruger war, defined by that fatal combination of ignorance and confidence."

Possibly related, definitely relevant:
Another study from Cornell (#DunningKruger) famously found that the LEAST competent to judge excellence are the most prone towards exaggerating their own excellence.(Sound familiar?)

Does using AI make us smarter, or just more confident?
Does using AI make us smarter, or just more confident?
This ep covers a recent study on how generative AI affects our “metacognition” – our ability to judge our own performance. Researchers tracked hundreds of people solving logical reasoning problems with and without AI.

If you want a quick explanation for why so many of our “leaders” behave the way they do, watch this.
Suddenly people like Trump, Scomo, Abbot, Barnaby etc make a lot more sense.#politics #trump #leadership #psychology #auspol #dunningkruger

From a YouGov poll. 30% of airline passengers are confident to land the plane if the pilot is dead.
I think about that frequently in meetings.

Questo è un articolo scritto tempo fa, ma sempre molto attuale.
Effetto Dunning-Kruger
Perché spesso chi sa meno è più sicuro di sé, mentre chi è competente tende a dubitare?
L’effetto Dunning-Kruger ci aiuta a capire come funziona la nostra autovalutazione e perché, in certi casi, possiamo diventare più facilmente manipolabili.

The #UK faces strategic crisis. After decades of neglect of crucial #infrastructure, it now even lacks capacity to monitor the decline.
In this case, dangerous deterioration of a major road bridge was unnoticed for 15 years. #Austerity since the 2008 crash has left local authorities short of skilled technical staff to evaluate infrastructure.
#UKpol has given itself a form of institutional #DunningKruger Syndrome: it has destroyed its own awareness of its failings.

An experiment gave a cognitive reflection test to 100 individuals, approximately half of whom were autistic. Lower-performing autistic individuals overestimated their performance less than others; they were less susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect. High-performing autistic individuals underestimated their performance more than the non-autistic.

> people who are most opposed to the consensus [...] score lower on objective knowledge but express higher subjective confidence. In other words, anti-consensus respondents are the most confidently wrong—the gap between what they know and what they think they know is widest.
