- free_bip parentIANAL, but Canada has far stronger labo(u)r laws than the US. They should all be lawyering up, whether it be for some union busting law or plain old wrongful termination.
- Genuinely speaking, that sounds like a process issue if you really can't copy/paste. Perhaps you don't have control over whichever scenario you're talking about but not describing, but data entry is famously error prone regardless of it being 12 characters or 32, and if you're trying to focus on reliability, avoiding errors, you should be avoiding it at all costs.
- Right, it doesn't work the same for humans as it does AI agents.
If you finetune a model and it starts misbehaving, what are you going to do to it exactly? PIP it? Fire it? Of course not. AIs cannot be managed the same ways as humans (and I would argue that's for the best). Best you can do is try using a different model, but you have no guarantee that whatever issue your model has is actually solved in the new one.
- Seems like a pretty big overreaction IMO. Advertisements deserve more strict regulation than general user-generated content because they tend to reach far more people. The fact that they aren't has resulted in something like 10% of all ads shown being outright scams or fraud[0]. And they should never have allowed the ad to air in the first place - it was patently and obviously illegal even without considering the GDPR.
If these companies aren't willing to put basic measures in place to stop even the most obviously illegal ads from airing, I have a lot of trouble having sympathy for them getting their just desserts in court.

- I'm going to steelman your argument and assume a few things:
- You are a real person who genuinely wants to make a difference in the field of physics
- The proposed mathematics isn't technobabble and actually does generate the constants you say it does
- The contributions are overwhelmingly yours, not overwhelmingly AI-generated
Even under these generous assumptions, this just isn't how citizen science is done. Your first step isn't publishing a 2-page paper with no references and basically no details on what you're doing or why. Your first step is taking your results to the nearest PHd theoretical physicist you can find, and getting them to take you seriously so you can find out if your work actually has merit.
- I'm having trouble understanding the use case for this. I can't remember ever using a QR code as a way to verify the authenticity of something. It's always been something like "here's a link to my website" or "here's a movie ticket that's scannable in a physical theater". So what is this solving?
- Person or painting is not relevant in this argument by analogy. It's the commonality of "more than meets the eye", or "don't judge a book by its cover", or "appearances can be deceiving" between the two situations. There's dozens of idioms for this situation because it's so common.
I could just as easily make a painting analogy. You go to an art gallery and a piece immediately catches your eye. The composition, colors, you even think you can see a rosy meaning behind it all.
Then the curator comes by and explains that it was painted by David Duke, grand wizard of the KKK, and that the piece represents his deeply racist hatred of black people and his desire to murder innocents.
What you feel after having that explained is not "post hoc rationalization" - you're just recontextualizing your previous feelings towards the piece now that you have new information. That is the argument.
- Let's say I introduce you to a friend of mine. You chat for a little while, and everything seems to be going well, you like them. Then, I tell you that my friend loves kicking puppies and infants. Really hard too, like he's kicking a field goal.
All of a sudden, you start acting like he's a "bad guy," who should "burn in hell." You liked him just fine before I gave you that info, so clearly that's just a post hoc rationalization that cannot withstand the simple fact that he was liked as a person before his interests were known.
