Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

    Soon our society will know less than it did before the Internet, as hundreds of wrong answers are created alongside every correct one.

        Would love to see someone compare what the average person 'knew' at various times through history. I believe we are still gaining in what the average person knows.

        In some public realms of information where the incentives are wildly skewed towards a lie that may be true. Other quiter realms where falsehood is easily detected and deleted...not a chance. One doesn't change Wikipedia for the spin of a boson without incurring the wrath of mods.

        Just to see if my supposition was correct. I changed the wikipedia page on the Boson. Was fixed in less than 2 minutes. Kinda surprised it didn't last longer since I did it at 2AM. Mods are amazing.

        But we have methods of aggregation for identifying the correct answers. That's why wikipedia works.

        B.S. is a coordination problem smart people can solve. Attentional hijacking might not be.

        This is ridiculous. Within seconds your tweet gets spammed with a phony account shilling ETH.

        Antiquity: A few geniuses, scribes, and rulers know some, and the rest of humanity operate silently with little or nothing. Now: Deep Knowledge is broadly available, but we marinate in a babbling cauldron of half-/mis-/contra-information.

        With StackOverflow, the ratio is around 1:10:100 of correct:wrong:useless/irrelevant.

        Get a hundred people in a room together and they can guess the number of skittles in a jar, but it takes a whole bunch of wrong guesses for the average to be correct. That's collective intelligence.

        That is to make the mistake in thinking that knowledge is justified, true, belief requiring an authority to tell people what is true. Knowledge is always uncertain and conjectural.
