@WBahn, regarding your sig:

There are actually only two types of people in the world:

1. Those who can draw reasonable conclusions based upon incomplete information.

Which, at least in my experience, is a pretty good assumption that holds most of the time.

I don't see the threat being from their peers cheating and managing to get some temporary advantage when they get away with it, but from the broader system when it makes cheating the accepted norm via its actions, regardless of its words.

At least on the STEM side, actual work performance still rules. Great grades or poor, if you can't get the job done, you're hitting the door in this very competitive current jobs market.

Just remember reasonable (based on confidence) conclusions can be dead wrong and very often, are dead wrong.

Those with the ability to draw reasonable conclusions or make reasonable (and profitable!) decisions based upon increasingly incomplete information are held in high regard and earn more money.

At the top, there is never enough information, and rarely a safety net. Being wrong hurts (and sometimes kills)!

This assumes that they don't fall victim to learned helplessness before they have a chance to apply their ability to draw reasonable conclusions or make reasonable (and profitable!) decisions based upon increasingly incomplete information?

A Y-Combinator-backed company called Artisan, which sells customer service and sales workflow software, recently launched a provocative billboard campaign in San Francisco playing on that angst, reports Gizmodo. It features the slogan "Stop Hiring Humans." The company markets its software products as "AI Employees" or "Artisans."

The company's billboards feature messages that might inspire nightmares among workers, like "Artisans won't complain about work-life balance" and "The era of AI employees is here." And they're on display to the same human workforce the ads suggest replacing.

The researchers analyzed thousands of knee X-rays and found that AI models can 'predict' unrelated and implausible traits such as whether patients abstained from eating refried beans or beer. While these predictions have no medical basis, the models achieved high levels of accuracy by exploiting subtle and unintended patterns in the data.

EvenUp's valuation soared past $1 billion on the potential of its AI. The startup has relied on humans to do much of the work, former employees say.
The reality, at least so far, is that human staff have done a significant share of that work, and EvenUp's AI has been slow to pick up the slack, eight former EvenUp employees told Business Insider in interviews over the late summer and early fall.
The former employees said they witnessed numerous problems with EvenUp's AI, including missed injuries, hallucinated medical conditions, and incorrectly recorded doctor visits. The former employees asked not to be identified to preserve future job prospects.
...
Two other former employees also said they were told by supervisors at various points this year not to use EvenUp's AI. Another former employee who left this year said they were never told not to use the AI, just that they had to be vigilant in correcting it.
"I was 100% told it's not super reliable, and I need to have a really close eye on it," said the former employee.

EvenUp told BI it uses a combination of humans and AI, and this should be viewed as a feature, not a bug.

They are NOT hallucinations! They are simply never-before-seen-or-heard-of medical conditions. It should be viewed as a feature, not a bug!

Who was it that said we were now in the post-truth era? Man, how prophetic was that!

Ah, Die Hard, a text of explosive multiplicities, invites us to deconstruct its narrative architecture, its spatial-temporal labyrinth, and the aporia of heroism and terror. At its surface, we encounter the tale of John McClane, a “cop,” a metonym for the sovereign subject, who is thrust into a high-rise citadel, the Nakatomi Plaza—a veritable simulacrum of late-capitalist modernity, both transparent and impenetrable.

Here, McClane is ostensibly positioned as the agent of order, but what order? The order is already fractured, splintered. The film begins with a marital fissure, a différance, as McClane travels to reconcile with his estranged wife, Holly Gennaro, who has reclaimed her pre-marital name, destabilizing the paternal phallus, the symbolic order he presumes to uphold.

Enter Hans Gruber, the antagonist, whose identity is itself a mask, a play of signifiers. A “terrorist,” but not a terrorist—his violence is aestheticized, his motives avaricious rather than ideological. Gruber’s elegant nihilism challenges the binary oppositions upon which McClane’s symbolic authority rests: law/crime, hero/villain, chaos/order. Is Gruber not merely the inverted reflection of McClane? Is not the difference between them traceable to the play of arbitrary signs?

The Nakatomi Plaza becomes the scene of Derridean différance, where boundaries collapse and meaning defers itself perpetually. McClane ascends and descends, through ductwork and shattered glass, traversing the building as though it were a Möbius strip of perpetual deconstruction.
