Kagan MacTane (he/him)Fraudsters can now do deepfake videos in real time. Just what we needed, another assault on our ability to trust in reality or the evidence of our senses.Especially if you have any elderly relatives, it's worth setting up a code-phrase you can use to verify your identity.<a href="https://www.404media.co/the-age-of-realtime-deepfake-fraud-is-here/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.404media.co/the-age-of-realtime-deepfake-fraud-is-here/</a><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/deepfakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepfakes</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fraud</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WhatIsEvenRealAnymore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhatIsEvenRealAnymore</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a>

T. T. Perry"the level of confidence we in fact adopt must be determined by something that is irrelevant to the reliability of the testimony on which it’s based.

Mx. Luna CorbdenOut of curiosity, I went to see when in fact "heed" dropped off in usage, and as I suspected, it was during The Enlightenment, just before the Revolutionary War. It tried to pull up again in the mid-19th century, then the 20th century put the nail in it. Again, probably because of its connections to the concept of obedience. To understand someone meant you would obey them, and after awhile that didn't seem so fun. (I just picture some angry old father screaming at his children to heed him or else.) Our society is FAR less authoritarian than it once was. (I saw a YouTube video on outsider artist Henry Darger last night, and jesus we have it good. I'd like to keep it that way and make things even better.)<a href="https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=heed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=heed</a><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#etymology</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenEnglish conflates the concepts of "hear" and "understand." Many conflicts get nowhere because we use the common phrasing, "You're not listening to me!" or "You didn't hear me!" when what we really mean is, "You didn't get me, I want you to make sense of what I'm saying."The process of comprehending what someone has said is different than hearing their words. How many times have you said, "You're not listening!" and they were in fact "listening" but not getting it? How many times have you said, "No I HEARD you?" when you did not, in fact, understand?English used to have a snappy word for this: heed. To heed was to both hear AND to understand. And it also meant "obey" which might be why it fell out of favor (which itself reflects an interesting point of cultural values shift). We DO in fact conflate "listen" to obedience, sometimes, especially towards children. But not as much as once was.The fact that all words mean multiple things, and that English has some issues with which things are conflated, can really influence how we think and interact. It's worth trying to unpack that. Then I start thinking towards how we can change English to be better.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#etymology</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a>

AndrocatIf you understand Virtue Epistomology (VE), you cannot accept any LLM output as "information".VE is an attempt to correct the various omniscience-problems inherent in classical epistemologies, which all to some extent require a person to know what the Truth is in order to evaluate if some statement is true.VE prescribes that we should look to how the information was obtained, particularly in two ways: 1) Was the information obtained using a well-known method that is known to produce good results? 2) Does the method appear to have been applied correctly in this particular case?LLM output always fails on pt1. An LLM will not look for the truth. It will just look for what is a probable combination of words. This means that an LLM is just as likely to combine a number of true statements in a way that is probable but false, as it is to combine them in a way that is probable and true. LLMs only sample the probability of word combinations. It doesn't understand the input, and it doesn't understand its own output.Only a damned fool would use it for anything, ever.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/generativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#generativeAI</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArtificialIntelligence</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ArtificialStupidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArtificialStupidity</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/philosophy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@philosophy</a>

Johann Dr.EORecently, I got several opportunities to discuss the reproducibility crisis in science. To help discuss that complex topic, we need to agree on a vocabulary.My favorite one has been published by Manuel López-Ibáñez, Juergen Branke and Luis Paquete, and is summarized in the attached diagram, which you can also find here: <a href="http://nojhan.net/tfd/vocabulary-of-reproducibility.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://nojhan.net/tfd/vocabulary-of-reproducibility.html</a>It's good that this topic is not fading away, but is gaining traction.

Ulrike Hahnfinally in print, the last puzzle piece in a decade of thinking about communication across social networks from the perspective of ideal rational agents: how do we factor in ‚dependence‘ - the fact that the same underlying evidence may, for example, reach us via multiple different reports, giving rise to double counting?There is a strong intuition that multiple independent observations should carry more weight than dependent observations. But how much more? We show that there is no (known) answer to this normative question in the general case. This renders a fundamental feature of human testimony unsolvable, meaning that acquiring knowledge via the testimony of others is much harder than typically assumed<a href="https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s11229-025-04969-w?sharing_token=T_qZZ-qagNeAgHYmwOsO4Pe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY7NNaNx5je-8CbqY3NQbXjm1PJgoB0Fw-IBoMYIKgSDlaiwownlR0py9XbHJBti1v6lLN7PlZ2uZJjf_SE6Z-Nwu8xISFeoc5h9Szl4tzerZtJWZwsR6CbwVDWSPlumzIw%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s11229-025-04969-w?sharing_token=T_qZZ-qagNeAgHYmwOsO4Pe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY7NNaNx5je-8CbqY3NQbXjm1PJgoB0Fw-IBoMYIKgSDlaiwownlR0py9XbHJBti1v6lLN7PlZ2uZJjf_SE6Z-Nwu8xISFeoc5h9Szl4tzerZtJWZwsR6CbwVDWSPlumzIw%3D</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SocialNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialNetworks</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/philosophy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@philosophy</a>
