In ML we know that in high dimensional spaces bias is a good, an essential thing. But it needs to be engineered right. Let's improve the engineering!

Ha!
In principle yes, but engineering good bias in social systems even harder than ML systems!1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 1 polubiony -

Relative to many other nations our systems (both UK and US) seems to work well. Lets innovate and make them better, let us not reboot them. Many systems have UBI like components in science and they work horribly.

Which systems have ubi and work badly?

Many continental systems have prof positions that come endowed with a student or more. Totally removes the incentive to collaborate to get grants. I *love* how in the US if someone has cool ideas, colleagues rally around them, in parts to jointly get grants. Good incentives.

Don’t you think a UBI system to cover basic living allowance would be beneficial? Thus protecting academics from continuous uncertainty.

i am not advocating starving. But if I allocate a student for life to a 40 year old young prof and they burn out by 50 then I have inflicted massive damage to those students, and the system overall.

I think that the tenure system that gives lifelong safety of the professor themselves is totally cool. But the UBI would endanger the students.

Yes you have a good point here. Thus maybe a system where you still have to write a grant to justify your research program (not projects) every so often would work? If high success rate? Puts in place a hurdle, and control over min performance (didn't screw students etc)

I'm not against making continued funding conditional on not screwing over all your trainees! Sadly this is not a feature of the current system, as many students and postdocs who have left science against their will can attest.

Honestly, it’s crazy stuff like this hasn’t already been implemented.

It's not entirely trivial because you need to guard against false or politically motivated accusations, but yeah I agree. This should be a thing already.

In some ways, it sort of is. At teaching institutions, the "UBI" is lots of teaching. Even research equipment must be justified as contributing to teaching and mentorship. Research can be for "curiosity" and long-term impact instead of short-term $$.
