"What Does 'Unbiased' Mean in the Digital World?" (with Megan McArdle) 4/25/24

Listen as Megan McArdle and EconTalk’s Russ Roberts use Google’s new AI entrant Gemini as the starting point for a discussion about the future of our culture in the shadow of AI bias. They also discuss the tension between rules and discretion in Western society, and why the ultimate answer to AI bias can’t be found in technology.

Russ' eight minute "The Road to Hell" rant (starting around 29:53 ) is pure gold.

Great episode. Megan is one of my favorite guests.

Today isn't April 25, 2024 lol. However, it's also the 11th podcast episode on AI since January 2023.

Edward Teller ironically (because he himself has been controversial for odd reasons) once wrote, "Sometimes we have to do that which is very difficult. Sometimes we have to think." That's in his book, 'The Pursuit of Simplicity', which also is his definition of science.

For me, it undermined the credibility of Google’s results. What else are they getting wrong?
Reinforces the importance of corroboration and skepticism.

I’m right there with you, Russ. I question the optimist’s sincerity in their beliefs. We are chameleon like and often say something and then say or do the opposite, (for myriad reasons), the next minute.

12:37 Wrong.

[@PaulGrinderQueer69]

People are in serious denial about the lunatics promoting these ideas
