Seeing who constitutes high profile names in "AI Ethics", having watched individual debacles unfold in the industry over the last few years, it doesn't instill confidence that they're particularly valuable. It's very, very hard not to have cynical takes about the people bubbling to the top.

In general I don't think unaccountable focus groups of people are the best moral arbiters either. In this instance I feel we have to go with our least worst option deferring to the wisdom of crowds.

>What about when ChatGPT

I mean, we're facing even more important dilemas right now, with ChatGPT's saftey rails. What is it allowed to talk about, or not? What truths are verbotten?

If the plurality of Internet content is written by these sorts of algorithms, that have hardcoded "safety" layers, then dream of truly open access to information that was the Internet will be that much closer to death.

It's amazing how quickly people impute value judgement.

I'm not disputing this?

I'm literally just taking the stance of "if you're taking bets on the current Justice cohort"

Usually as the result of "congress needs to create new legislation for this to be constitutional"

You can safely bet most rulings from a conservative court will be "Congress needs to make a law"

Fair enough

But to imply backprop is getting old neglects all of the real world applications that haven't been pushed yet.

I understand there are problems where differentiability is an intractable assumption but saying "oh old thing how gauche" isn't particularly constructive.

The Jacobian of the solution of a constrained optimization program with respect to its parameters, but I thought that was understood amongst the towering intellect of neural network afficiandos, e.g. the original commenter finding backprop to be stale.

Here's the stochastic programming version: Section 3.3. https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2017/file/3fc2c60b5782f641f76bcefc39fb2392-Paper.pdf

I mean, can you not compute the Jacobian of a constrained optimization program and stack that into any differentiable composition of functions?

People snoozin'.

You're sleeping on differentiable programming then

When I was a grad student I got the review requests directly. I'd venture my reviews were probably better than my professor's---he's write 2-3 sentences at most.
