Podcasts about inputs

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Some problems in operations at EA orgs: inputs from a dozen ops staff, published by Vaidehi Agarwalla on March 16, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a brief summary of an operations brainstorm that took place during April 2022. It represents the views of operations staff at 8-12 different EA-aligned organizations (approximately). We split up into groups and brainstormed problems, and then chose the top problems to brainstorm some tentative solutions. The aim of the brainstorming session was to highlight things that needed improvement, rather than to evaluate how good EA operations roles are relative to the other non-profit or for-profit roles. It's possible that EA organizations are not uniquely bad or good - but that doesn't mean that these issues are not worth addressing. The outside world (especially the non-profit space) is pretty inefficient, and I think it's worth trying to improve things. Limitations of this data: Meta / community building (and longtermist, to a lesser degree) organizations were overrepresented in this sample, and the tallies are estimates. We didn't systematically ask people to vote for each and every sub-item, but we think the overall priorities raised were reasonable. General Brainstorming Four major themes came up in the original brainstorming session: bad knowledge management, unrealistic expectations, bad delegation, and lack of respect for operations. The group then re-formed new groups to brainstorm solutions for each of these key pain points. Below, we go into a breakdown of each large issue into specific points raised during the general brainstorming session. Some points were raised multiple times and are indicated by the “(x n)” to indicate how many times the point was raised. Knowledge management Problems Organizations don't have good systems for knowledge management. Ops staff don't have enough time to coordinate and develop better systems. There is a general lack of structure, clarity and knowledge. Issues with processes and systems (x 4) No time on larger problems Lack of time to explore & coordinate Lack of time to make things easier ([you're always] putting out fires) [Lack of] organizational structure Line management Capacity to cover absences [see Unrealistic Expectations] Covering / keeping the show running Responsibilities Working across time zones Training / upskilling Management training [see improper delegation] Lack of Clarity + Knowledge Legal Compliance HR Hiring Wellbeing (including burnout) Lack of skill transfer Lack of continuity / High turn-over of junior ops specialists Potential Solutions Lowering the bar - e.g. you don't need a PhD to work in ops. Pick people with less option value. Ask people to be nice and share with others Best practice guides shared universally. [Make them] available to people before hiring so they can understand the job better before applying, so [there's] less turn-over. Database? (Better ops Slack?) Making time to create Knowledge Management Systems - so less fire-fighting. People higher in the organization [should have] better oversight of processes/knowledge. Unrealistic expectations Problems Employers have unrealistic expectations for ops professionals. Ops people are expected to do too much in too little time and always be on call. Lack of capacity / too much to do (x2) [Lack of] capacity to cover absences [from above] Ops people [are expected to be] “always on call” Timelines for projects [are subject to the] planning fallacy, [and there are] last minute changes Ops team [are] responsible for all new ideas that people come [up] with - could others do it? Unrealistic expectations about coordination capacity skillset organizational memory Solutions Bandwidth (?) Increase capacity Have continuity [give ops staff the] ability to push back on too-big asks Recognition Create...

ChatGPT is all the rage. It's also the reason why you now matter even more than ever. As an oversimplified definition, Chat GPT uses artificial intelligence like Siri on your iPhone or your Alexa smart speaker. It is just much more powerful. GPT is short for Generative Pretrained Transformer. We'll get into a deeper definition in a bit. What I want you to understand is the impact it will have on your podcast. NOT ALL INFO Your podcast cannot simply be information. ChatGPT has nearly all the information anyone could ever need. It is the depth of the internet with the conversation of Alexa. It was an early Monday morning in March of 1995. I had just started my new job as Program Director of an alternative radio station in Lincoln, Nebraska. I was standing in the jock lounge. It was basically an open room with a countertop around the perimiter. All the DJs kept their stuff in there. Sitting on the countertop was a big, bulky, desktop computer. It was primarily used to schedule music logs for the stations. However, this particular computer was connected to the World Wide Web. The mid-90s was when the internet really started taking off. We would pull up a site called Webcrawler. It was the first search engine to be widely used. It was also the first to fully index the content on web pages. One of the primary investors in Webcrawler was Paul Allen of Microsoft. But, we'll get to that connection in a minute. As we played with Webcrawler, we could find anything we wanted. I typed in all sorts of words and phrases to see what would come up. Baseball, bullfrogs, blues music. It was all there. IT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE And that's when I realized the world was about to change. The Encyclopedia Britannica set and the World Books we had in the basement of my mom's house were no longer relevant. Why would I search the encylopedia when I could use Webcrawler? Now, I know you're probably thinking the use of an encyclopedia sounds ludacris. Or I just sound old. Either way, it was the dawn of a new day. This also meant my radio show could no longer be the interesting bits of trivia or music news I typically shared. I would need to serve my listeners something Webcrawler couldn't. That something turned out to be me, my story and my personality. Webcrawler couldn't copy that. Rather than sharing the tidbit that Bob Mould was once a member of Husker Du and then of Sugar, I needed to talk about the strange sounds coming from the apartment next door last night or the time Ozzy Osbourne wouldn't stop talking to my girlfriend. Thanks to Webcrawler and the World Wide Web in 1995, it was indeed a different world and time for a new approach. HERE WE GO AGAIN And that's where we are again today. ChatGPT has the information. If you are only serving information on your podcast, you are the new version of the Encyclopedia Britannica. This new artificial intelligence tool can serve up the exact same information you are delivering. Only ChatGPT does it in less time. Let's say you teach how to write code for computers. I can ask ChatGPT how to write computer code. ChatGPT can now only write code, it can debug it. You need to move into your new world. Share your story. Give listeners your personality. Build relationships. Offer something more that ChatGPT cannot give your audience. WHAT IS CHATGPT? So, what is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI. They are a startup based in San Francisco. The company was co-founded in 2015 by Elon Musk and Sam Altman. OpenAI also has other backers and investors. One of those investors happens to be Microsoft, just like Webcrawler. The OpenAI website says, "We've trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests." In regular language, the tool is like Alexa on steroids. It is capable of taking inputs from users and producing human-like responses. The thing that makes it different is the ability of ChatGPT to learn and adjust according to the conversation. CNBC asked ChatGPT to give its own description. ChatGPT said it is "an AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI, based on the GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) language model. It uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like responses to text inputs in a conversational manner." Microsoft isn't simply an investor in the company. According to Fox Business, Microsoft has added the technology to its products, including search engine Bing. GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT ChatGPT does have some serious limitations. The biggest concern is misinformation and infringing on intellectual property. ChatGPT is trained on a vast compilation of articles, websites and social-media posts scraped from the internet as well as real-time conversations. As you know, the information on the internet isn't always perfect. Therefore, the information coming out of ChatGPT also isn't flawless. According to Business Insider, Chat bots like GPT are powered by large amounts of data and computing techniques to make predictions. Those predictions string words together in a meaningful way. These chat bots not only tap into a vast amount of vocabulary and information, but also understand words in context. This helps them mimic speech patterns while offering up an encyclopedic knowledge. It's just like my day with Webcrawler. Unlike most chatbots and your Alexa, ChatGPT remembers previous prompts given to it in the same conversation. It learns as it goes. ChatGPT has the ability to log context from earlier messages in a thread. The tool can then use that information to form responses later in the conversation. Inputs are filtered so potentially racist or sexist prompts are dismissed. OpenAI believes this should prevent offensive outputs from being presented to and produced from ChatGPT. Although the core function of a chatbot is to mimic human conversation, ChatGPT is versatile. For example, it can write and debug computer programs, compose music, and write student essays. ChatGPT can answer test questions, write poetry, and simulate an ATM. Can you see where the concern might come in? The tool has sparked concerns over potential abuses in many of these areas. Students have already used ChatGPT to generate entire essays, while hackers have used it to write code for the bad guys. GETTING BIGGER It's only getting bigger. ChatGPT is growing faster than any other app. By January 2023, ChatGPT had amassed 100 million monthly active users. That was only two months into its launch. That skyrocking growth also made ChatGPT the fastest-growing consumer application in history, according to UBS. It took TikTok nine months to reach 100 million users. Instagram didn't hit 100 million for two and a half years. If you have an Open AI account, you can try ChatGPT for free while they test it and it learns. Find OpenAI at OpenAI.com. MORE YOU So, how do you stay relevant on your show? There are 3 ways. STORIES First, tell stories. Everything interesting is about people. Stop teaching your six steps to success. Be you. Share something as if you were telling your best friend. Stories sell. People remember stories. Stories make you human. It is also the most powerful way to build relationships. PERSONALITY Next, let your personality shine. You don't need to be Howard Stern or Gary Vaynerchuk. You just need to be you. Stand for something and stand out. If I asked a group to rate you on a one to five scale and they all gave you a three, you would be dead in the water. Three means I could take it or leave it. I really have no preference. Lots of fives and lots of ones mean you are making people care. Get noticed. AUTHENTIC Finally, be authentic. Don't try to be someone or something you are not. When I was coming up in radio, I learned this the hard way. It was a few years before the Webcrawler incident. I was doing nights at that same radio station. We had just signed it on a few months earlier. It was late afternoon and I was sitting in the office of my Program Director for my weekly show review. We would review a recording of my show once a week to help me improve. Her office was right next to the studio. My show started at 7. We were meeting at 4. As the tape played, it was a typical show. Nothing crazy. Same sorts of breaks I always did. Melinda sat there listening, not saying anything. She was just taking it in. Finally, she reached over and turned it off. She looked at me and said, "When are you going to start being yourself?" I asked her what she meant. She said, "You are using all these phrases and words and cliches that the guys on the rock station use. That's not you. It's not even our station. Why don't you leave that to them and just start being real?" Now, I worked on the rock station before moving over to this one. So I still had a little of the rock in me. But the truth is... that wasn't me then either. That was the night I started sharing my authentic self on the radio. It was also the day my radio career started to take off. Instead of being a poor imitation of some other DJ, I was now crafting my own personality. It was something nobody could copy. I was becoming one of a kind. YOUR CHOICE You can do it as well. Just be true to yourself. So, now you have a choice. You can continue to deliver information episode after episode and end up fading away like the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Or you can share a little bit of you on every episode and build long-lasting, powerful relationships with your listeners.

On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, New Prague, Minn., farmer Greg Entinger shares his economic-based strategy for managing his 900-acre strip-tilled corn operation. Entinger switched from conventional tillage to strip-till in 2015 to save money and reduce soil erosion. He bet the farm on the practice and it paid off almost immediately.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Remote Health Centers In Uganda - a cost effective intervention?, published by NickLaing on February 27, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR: Operating basic health centers in remote rural Ugandan communities looks more cost-effective than top GiveWell interventions on early stage analysis - with huge uncertainty. I'm Nick, a medical doctor who is co-founder and director of OneDay Health (ODH). We operate 38 nurse-led health centers in healthcare “black holes,” remote rural areas more than 5 km from government health facilities. About 5 million Ugandans live in these healthcare black holes and only have bad options when they get sick. ODH health centers provide high-quality primary healthcare to these communities at the lowest possible cost. We train our talented nurses to use protocol based guidelines and equip them with over 50 medications to diagnose and treat 30 common medical conditions. In our 5 years of operation, we have so far treated over 150,000 patients – including over 70,000 for malaria. Since we started up 5 years ago, we've raised about $290,000 of which we've spent around $220,000 to date. This year we hope to launch another 10-15 OneDay Health centers in Uganda and we're looking to expand to other countries which is super exciting! If you're interested in how we select health center sites or more details about our general ops, check our website or send me a message I'd love to share more! Challenges in Assessing Cost-Effectiveness of OneDay Health Unfortunately, obtaining high-quality effectiveness data requires data from an RCT or a cohort study that would cost 5-10 times our current annual budget. So we've estimated our impact by estimating the DALYs our health centers avert through treating four common diseases and providing family planning. I originally evaluated this as part of my masters dissertation in 2019 and have updated it to more recent numbers. As we're assessing our own organisation, the chance of bias here is high. Summary of Cost-Effectiveness Model To estimate the impact of our health centers, we estimated the DALYs averted through treating individual patients for 4 conditions: malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea, and STIs. We started with Ugandan specific data on DALYs lost to each condition. We then adjusted that data to account for the risk of false diagnosis and treatment failure (in which case the treatment would have no effect). We then added impact from family planning. Estimating impact per patient isn't a new approach. PSI used a similar method to evaluate their impact (with an awesome online calculator), but has now moved to other methods. Inputs for our approach Headline findings For each condition, we multiplied the DALYs averted per treatment by the average number of patients treated with that condition in one health center in one month. When we added this together that each ODH health center averted 13.70 DALYs per month, predominantly through treatment of malaria in all ages, and pneumonia in children under 5.ODH health centers are inexpensive to open and operate. Each health center currently needs only $137.50 per month in donor subsidies to operate. The remaining $262.50 in expenses are covered by small payments from patients. Many of these patients would have counterfactually received treatment, but would have incurred significantly greater expense to do so (mainly for travel). In addition, about 40% of patient expenses were for treating conditions not included in the cost-effectiveness analysis. We estimate that In one month, each health center averts 13.70 DALYs and costs $137.50 in donor subsidies. This is roughly equivalent to saving a life for $850, or more conservatively for $1766 including patient expenses. However, there is huge uncertainty in our analysis. The Analysis Measuring Impact by Estimating DALYs...

Chris Mohalley returns to the podcast to talk about troubleshooting the modern ECM (or EC motor) and give diagnostic tips. ECMs are electronically commutated motors; they are mechanical motors with an electronic control module that dictates everything the motor does. As with all motors, ECMs have inputs and outputs. If the motor is not running, the first step is to check the line voltage and make sure that it is correct and connected continuously, as that's one of the main inputs on all ECMs; there is no relay or switch on the line side. The motor itself is the output, so you will know if the output is correct if the motor is rotating and generating airflow as intended. Constant-speed and constant-torque motors can all be diagnosed with a basic voltmeter. One of the most difficult parts of troubleshooting constant-torque ECMs is knowing how the taps are programmed by the manufacturer; reading the manual and schematic is advantageous during diagnosis, especially as these motors have evolved to use pulse-width modulation (PWM) and have nine speeds instead of five (energizing pin 1 at the same time as another pin, diagnosed with 24v AC). Constant-airflow motors tend to have inputs that are less complicated than the five or nine-speed taps. Chris and Bryan also discuss: Inputs: line voltage and signals TechMate Pro, multimeters, and Genteq TECINspect diagnostic tools Constant-speed vs. constant-torque vs. constant-airflow motors Diagnosing PWM signals with DC voltage Adjusting airflow with DIP switches Are board and motor failures common?

*Our brains are machines that are always simplifying and approximating, focusing on some detail that captures our attention. Those details may be important, but we are only a brain within a vast universe, and our biases often lead us to bad predictions. *Drawing on his groundbreaking forecasting work, Nate Silver surveys the field of prediction and discusses how to identify a meaningful signal in amongst a barrage of data. *Only forecasting that arises from many points of data, both quantitative and qualitative, and that tries to take account of all biases, is likely to be correct. *The only way to become better at forecasts, Silver says, is to make more of them. *Anyone in the field of prediction has to be constantly taking in not just new points of data, but getting more and more rigorous about how they assess the data. Otherwise, you start to lose the signals for the noise.

We live in a physical construct, that is very much like a hologram. Our consciousness is the energy that automates the brain, which programs the body, and helps us take action. The holographic life theory actually has quite a bit of merit to it. Even though this world we live in is very much indeed "real," it does operate like a holographic program. Inputs = outputs and it's how this thing we call life works. Where it gets cloudy is when we begin to immerse ourselves in newly created holographic images and lives within this physical system we call life. We can quickly become distracted from our main purpose and reason for being through which we chose to come into this physical incarnation. Special guest Michaell Magrutsche is a totally self-taught individual, author of 5 books, podcaster, speaker, guide, and former Newport Beach CA Arts-Commissioner. Michaell helps people discover patterns within art and creativity that foster creative communication and identify art-values outside of any art-product. This perspective of looking at creativity brings humanity together and shows it's limitlessness and helps raise our human potential. He discovered that there are three inherent human-superpowers that we all should be aware of: 1. Creativity 2. Healthy Dialogue 3.

In this episode of the Mind The Innovation Leadership Podcast, Cynthia Kellam (Global Head of Digital, Customer Experience & Marketing data, Insights and Analytics, at TE connectivity), a leading expert in digital transformation, shares her insights on the importance of investing in outcomes, not just inputs, for successful digital transformation and customer experience initiatives in B2B companies. By focusing on the desired outcome and unlocking the full potential of digital transformation through the digitization of data, processes, and customer experiences, companies can improve their operations and enhance the customer experience. This must-listen episode is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the power of digital transformation for B2B companies. Key takeaways: # Digital transformation involves optimizing and maximizing the use of digital technologies for internal operations and customer experiences. It encompasses the digitization of data, processes, and experiences and is achieved through small steps and progress. # Leadership requires a mindset that is comfortable with taking various types of risks, including investments that may not have a guaranteed return. # Improving self-service can lead to increased productivity and customer satisfaction. However, human interaction remains crucial in differentiating a business and its services. The emphasis should be on improving self-service, which is a common area where businesses lag.

My colleague this week is @Andy Begnoche, Director of Operations at @HOLDCOM ---a Production Studio w/Voice Talent Capabilities. Andy is back for his DSBQ (Double Secret Bonus Question) here on the @My Curious Colleague #CPGCX S4 E68 podcast. Today's episode is brief but impactful as Andy shares what considerations should be made as you're planning a Project Timeline & Inputs for a Re-Branding (or Launch) of an IVR/Interactive Voice Response. He likens the IVR as "like a middle child" (which I am!) - "a little bit forgotten". But - oh, so important for your consumers or patients. Andy's advice includes scripting guidance that helps you get out of your own head and into the listeners' + how much time to consider for the project (1 size does not fit all), who typically provides/writes the Prompts (press 1 etc) and who on the business owns the tech. Thanks again Andy for your guidance and your support…! PS His previous episode S4 E63 was a chart topper with our colleagues...so happy to have him back! Do check that one (S4 E63) out as well. #healthcareTech #CPGTechStack #CPGCX #CaringDeeplyForYourConsumers #patientcare

Inputs and OutputsSome professionals pride themselves in the ability to deliver under pres- sure. They can work for hours nonstop and are always the first to step up and take on any challenge that comes their way. Their output is unpar- alleled. However, if they don't mind their inputs, they will soon find not only that their output wanes, but they may do significant damage in all areas of their lives and work. If you put the wrong kind of fuel in a car, the engine will stop working.How are your inputs? Here are a few that you should pause and evaluate:► Creative/inspirational: Are you filling your mind with inspir- ing stimulus that sparks your curiosity and helps you ask new questions? Are you putting new “dots” in your head to connect?► Emotional: Are you connecting with other people in a deep, meaningful way? Are others filling your well, or are you only filling theirs? Are you ever receiving, or are you always giving?► Aspirational: Are there mentors in your life who challenge you to see new possibilities for yourself ? Who push you to expand your thinking and fill you with a fresh vision?Be mindful of your inputs. If you're not, your creative engine will eventually break down.Without a steady source of inspiring inputs, you cannot sustain creative output.QUESTIONWhen was the last time you were inspired by something you experienced? Which inputs do you need to adjust so that you aren't running on empty?

Richard Lee is developing an AI-driven copywriting tool for marketers. It's called SuperCopy and it relies on one tool in particular called GPT-3.He explains how they're building for the best marketers, what this means in practice, and the long-term implications for their product. He talks through some specifics about how these GPT-3 copywriting engines work, circumstances where they thrive and where they struggle.Richard also shares where they're seeing success and his preference for having a small marketing team that has deep understanding of the brand. And how GPT-3 copywriting can make marketers' jobs easier. He contrasts this to having teams of interns doing lower quality work.To jump ahead, click the chapter markers in your podcast player: (00:00) - Pipeline Meeting Intro (00:28) - How does AI write copy (01:22) - Use cases for GPT-3 copywriting (03:53) - Inputs for GPT-3 copywriting (06:57) - Scaling copywriting with AI (09:52) - GPT-3 copywriting use cases (13:33) - Improving engagement with AI (15:09) - Pipeline Meeting Outro Find Richard Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-dc-lee/Learn more about SuperCopy: https://supercopy.io/

Working with biology requires a more nuanced process of applying inputs.

Sales and marketing outcomes are directly impacted by inputs. What inputs are mission critical? In this episode, my guests say critical inputs include research to uncover true messaging from brand to values and beyond, mutual respect for everyone on the internal and external team, dedicated and structured inter-team communications and repetition, repetition, repetition. I talk with Lisa Detweiler, VP of Sales and Marketing, and Jodie Roberts, Director of Marketing, both with Senior Services of America. Together, they oversee all sales and marketing for 19 communities across three states – and they have dialed in the right inputs to achieve impressive outcomes. Jodie even shares with our listeners two great questions to ask to sharpen time management. Terrific inputs add up to great outcomes.

From commodities to food packaging, costs have eased but when will consumers and producers benefit? Food at home CPI has been growing double digits Y/Y but the cost of a number of inputs, from grains to coffee to chicken to transportation are well off highs and back to early '21 levels in some cases. When will consumers benefit and will producers translate these lower costs to higher margins? Bryan Spillane and Peter Galbo join us to discuss areas within the food and beverage groups where prices will remain sticky, areas that could see some price relief and why some beverage companies could be well positioned in an environment of lower costs and thriftier consumers.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Die US-Basketballspielerin Brittney Griner wurde in einem Gefangenenaustausch mit dem russischen Waffenhändler Viktor Bout freigelassen. Nur, es ist kein faires Gegengeschäft. Der Fall von Griner und Bout sei besonders krass. sagt Fredy Gsteiger, diplomatischer Korrespondent von SRF. Auf der einen Seite steht eine Profisportlerin, die in Russland wegen des Besitzes von Cannabis-Öl zu neun Jahren Haft verurteilt wurde. Auf der anderen Seite steht ein bekannter Waffenhändler, der Kriegsgeräte an Terrororganisationen oder Unrechtsregime lieferte. Warum also dieser Deal? Haben die USA einfach schlecht verhandelt?

Albert Rösti und Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, die beiden neuen Mitglieder des Bundesrats, kommen beide aus ländlichen Gebieten. Weil die Baslerin Eva Herzog die Wahl verpasst hat, sind die grösseren Städte in der Landesregierung nicht vertreten. Hat die Städte-Lobby also versagt? Dem gehen wir nach. «Wer heute verliert, kann morgen wieder gewinnen», sagt Politikwissenschaftlerin Rahel Freiburghaus von der Universität Bern. Nach der gestrigen Bundesratswahl wird viel über die Untervertretung der Städte im Bundesrat geredet und berichtet. Wir fragen deshalb, ob das überhaupt schlimm ist, dass die grösseren Städte und damit ein Grossteil der Schweizer Bevölkerung im Bundesrat nicht vertreten ist.  Ausserdem reden wir mit Anders Stokholm, dem Präsidenten des Schweizerischen Städteverbands und fragen ihn, ob die Schweizer Städte zu wenig lobbyiert haben vor dieser Bundesratswahl.  Wir freuen uns über euer Feedback und eure Inputs. Ihr erreicht uns per Mail auf newsplus@srf.ch oder auf 076 320 10 37 per Sprachnachricht.

Zwei Erzfeinde stehen sich an der Weltmeisterschaft in Katar gegenüber: Iran gegen USA heisst es heute Dienstag um 20 Uhr. Fakt ist: Der Sieger steht definitiv im Achtelfinal. Für Iran wäre es das allererste Mal. Doch in diesem Spiel steckt noch viel mehr Brisanz. Wir reden mit dem Sportjournalisten und Iran-Experten Farid Ashrafian über die Bedeutung dieser Begegnung. Und mit dem Schweizer Ex-Schiedsrichter Urs Meier blicken wir zurück auf das bisher einzige WM-Spiel zwischen Iran und USA.

Teachers frequently ask about how we can continue to use a compelling, comprehensible inputs, approach with advanced learners. The key is to relinquish some of our own power in the classroom and provide increased autonomy to students, allowing them to plan, design and deliver their own classes. This episode explores one such approach with a group of advanced students of Spanish and how this increased autonomy led to higher rates of intrinsic motivation. Keep in touch and share widely!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Don't design agents which exploit adversarial inputs, published by Alex Turner on November 18, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. Summary. Consider two common alignment design patterns: Optimizing for the output of a grader which evaluates plans, and Fixing a utility function and then argmaxing over all possible plans. These design patterns incentivize the agent to find adversarial inputs to the grader (e.g. "manipulate the simulated human grader into returning a high evaluation for this plan"). I'm pretty sure we won't find adversarially robust grading rules. Therefore, I think these alignment design patterns are doomed. In this first essay, I explore the adversarial robustness obstacle. In the next essay, I'll point out how this is obstacle is an artifact of these design patterns, and not any intrinsic difficulty of alignment. Thanks to Erik Jenner, Johannes Treutlein, Quintin Pope, Charles Foster, Andrew Critch, randomwalks, and Ulisse Mini for feedback. 1: Optimizing for the output of a grader One motif in some AI alignment proposals is: An actor which proposes plans, and A grader which evaluates them. For simplicity, imagine we want the AI to find a plan where it makes an enormous number of diamonds. We train an actor to propose plans which the grading procedure predicts lead to lots of diamonds. In this setting, here's one way of slicing up the problem: Outer alignment: Find a sufficiently good grader. Inner alignment: Train the actor to propose plans which the grader rates as highly possible (ideally argmaxing on grader output, but possibly just intent alignment with high grader output). This "grader optimization" paradigm ordains that the AI find plans which make the grader output good evaluations. An inner-aligned actor is singlemindedly motivated to find plans which are graded maximally well by the grader. Therefore, for any goal by which the grader may grade, an inner-aligned actor is positively searching for adversarial inputs which fool the grader into spitting out a high number! In the diamond case, if the actor is inner-aligned to the grading procedure, then the actor isn't actually aligned towards diamond-production. The actor is aligned towards diamond-production as quoted via the grader's evaluations. In the end, the actor is aligned to the evaluations. I think that there aren't clever ways around this issue. Under this motif, under this way of building an AI, you're not actually building an AI which cares about diamonds, and so you won't get a system which makes diamonds in the limit of its capability development. Three clarifying points: This motif concerns how the AI makes decisions—this isn't about training a network using a grading procedure, it's about the trained agent being motivated by a grading procedure. The grader doesn't have to actually exist in the world. This essay's critiques are not related to "reward tampering", where the actor messes with the grader's implementation in order to increase the grades received. The "grader" can be a mathematical expected utility function over all action-sequences which the agent could execute. For example, it might take the action sequence and the agent's current beliefs about the world, and e.g. predict the expected number of diamonds produced by the actions. "The AI optimizes for what humanity would say about each universe-history" is an instance of grader-optimization, but "the AI has human values" is not an instance of grader-optimization. The parable of evaluation-child an AI should optimize for the real-world things I value, not just my estimates of those things. — The Pointers Problem: Human Values Are A Function Of Humans' Latent Variables First, a mechanistically relevant analogy. Imagine a mother whose child has been goofing off at school and getting in trouble. The mom just wants her kid to t...

Fussballfan Michael Schärer hat dem Fussball-Zirkus vor drei Jahren komplett den Rücken gekehrt. Die Vorfreude auf die Weltmeisterschaft in Katar ist auf einem historischen Tiefpunkt in unseren Breitengraden, zeigt eine Studie des deutschen Fanforschers Harald Lange. Wie ist das einzuordnen? "Der Gegenstand Fussball ist von Leidenschaft getragen. Es ist ein Konkurrenzkampf zwischen Kopf und Herz", sagt Lange. Bei Michael Schärer hat hingegen schon lange der Kopf entschieden.

When Ambereen Toubassy decided that it was time to start up her own hedge fund, it's likely that no one cast doubt on the experienced investor's grand plan. That is, no one except Toubassy herself.   After 7years as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs and a dozen running hedge funds, Toubassy says, she told herself, “Okay, this is a moment, I have a track record, I should start my own hedge fund.” Thus with some freshly drafted marketing collateral in hand, she initiated the early round of discussions that would allow her to begin raising capital.   “When I started doing this, I realized my that heart wasn't in it—I told myself, ‘Okay, if your heart isn't in this, you have no business asking other people to entrust you with their capital,'” recalls Toubassy, who notes that her outreach had put her in touch with a span of finance professionals from her Goldman Sachs years, including a number who had exited the investing world to take on a variety of operating roles—including CFO positions. “What clicked for me and why I made the shift to operations was how much time CFOs spent in talking about the people with whom they were working,” reports Toubassy, who points out that while the guiding principle of her career had always been to “always be learning,” her discussions with CFOs made clear that there was more to learn. Remarks Toubassy: “I'd always sort of had this inkling that when I was managing a portfolio and tickers, I didn't get as much of that people mentorship experience as I would have liked to have had.” Today, after having served in multiple CFO roles, Toubassy keeps people top-of-mind when offering advice to new finance leaders. For one thing, she advises, “Spend time gathering context and developing relationships with your peers and the business leaders for all of the other functions.” Moreover, Toubassy exposes the people factor in CFO success from the perspective of output and input metrics. “The financials are output metrics, and a CFO cannot influence them or change them because they're exactly that," remarks Toubassy. "To effect change, you need to understand and influence the inputs that go into the business.” Perhaps not surprisingly, though, Toubassy quickly circles back to her relationship-building advice: “You need to spend time with the head of each of the business functions. You need to have a relationship with each of these people. You need to be able to sort of put yourself in their shoes and say, ‘How would that person effect change?' And, over time, the output metrics that finance cares about will change.” Meanwhile, Toubassy finds little or no irony in the title “chief finance officer.” “We have this tendency to jump straight into the financials or outputs because that's who we are," she says. "And, we are the chief financial officer.” –Jack Sweeney
