  1. I remember seeing several presentations in actuarial mathematics lectures that mentioned such things, and which were heavily criticized... The response was always “yes, but it's a theoretical exercise”... I never would have believed that insurers would take the plunge and implement such dangerous ideas... #sorcerersapprentice

  2. Yay! Third time lucky. Having run one pot for 12 hours with five capsules, I then transferred it to eight pots (using well-sterilised milk, cream and potato starch). No rancidness, just a slightly sweet smell. I only warmed the eight pots for 24 hours, so it's still a bit liquid, but I was too worried about colonisation by the baddies. Anyway, next time I'll use stuff from this batch with a couple of capsules and go direct to eight pots.

    The yellow colour is from the saffron in the capsules.

  3. CW: Long thread/5

    This is sometimes called the #AlignmentProblem. High-speed, probabilistic systems that can't be fully predicted in advance can *very* quickly run off the rails. It's an idea that pre-dates AI, of course - think of the #SorcerersApprentice. But AI produces these perverse outcomes at scale...and so does capitalism.

  4. Had a brief reprieve for a short ad for Sensodyne Toothpaste and it felt like watching “Citizen Kane” in comparison
