The real AI fight

Tonight (November 27), I'm appearing at the Toronto Metro Reference Library with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

On November 29, I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

Last week's spectacular OpenAI soap-opera hijacked the attention of millions of normal, productive people and nonsensually crammed them full of the fine details of the debate between "Effective Altruism" (doomers) and "Effective Accelerationism" (AKA e/acc), a genuinely absurd debate that was allegedly at the center of the drama.

Very broadly speaking: the Effective Altruists are doomers, who believe that Large Language Models (AKA "spicy autocomplete") will someday become so advanced that it could wake up and annihilate or enslave the human race. To prevent this, we need to employ "AI Safety" – measures that will turn superintelligence into a servant or a partner, nor an adversary.

Contrast this with the Effective Accelerationists, who also believe that LLMs will someday become superintelligences with the potential to annihilate or enslave humanity – but they nevertheless advocate for faster AI development, with fewer "safety" measures, in order to produce an "upward spiral" in the "techno-capital machine."

Once-and-future OpenAI CEO Altman is said to be an accelerationists who was forced out of the company by the Altruists, who were subsequently bested, ousted, and replaced by Larry fucking Summers. This, we're told, is the ideological battle over AI: should cautiously progress our LLMs into superintelligences with safety in mind, or go full speed ahead and trust to market forces to tame and harness the superintelligences to come?

This "AI debate" is pretty stupid, proceeding as it does from the foregone conclusion that adding compute power and data to the next-word-predictor program will eventually create a conscious being, which will then inevitably become a superbeing. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding faster and faster horses, we'll get a locomotive:

https://locusmag.com/2020/07/cory-doctorow-full-employment/

As Molly White writes, this isn't much of a debate. The "two sides" of this debate are as similar as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Yes, they're arrayed against each other in battle, so furious with each other that they're tearing their hair out. But for people who don't take any of this mystical nonsense about spontaneous consciousness arising from applied statistics seriously, these two sides are nearly indistinguishable, sharing as they do this extremely weird belief. The fact that they've split into warring factions on its particulars is less important than their unified belief in the certain coming of the paperclip-maximizing apocalypse:

https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/effective-obfuscation

White points out that there's another, much more distinct side in this AI debate – as different and distant from Dee and Dum as a Beamish Boy and a Jabberwork. This is the side of AI Ethics – the side that worries about "today’s issues of ghost labor, algorithmic bias, and erosion of the rights of artists and others." As White says, shifting the debate to existential risk from a future, hypothetical superintelligence "is incredibly convenient for the powerful individuals and companies who stand to profit from AI."

After all, both sides plan to make money selling AI tools to corporations, whose track record in deploying algorithmic "decision support" systems and other AI-based automation is pretty poor – like the claims-evaluation engine that Cigna uses to deny insurance claims:

https://www.propublica.org/article/cigna-pxdx-medical-health-insurance-rejection-claims

On a graph that plots the various positions on AI, the two groups of weirdos who disagree about how to create the inevitable superintelligence are effectively standing on the same spot, and the people who worry about the actual way that AI harms actual people right now are about a million miles away from that spot.

There's that old programmer joke, "There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't." But of course, that joke could just as well be, "There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand ternary, those who understand binary, and those who don't understand either":

https://pluralistic.net/2021/12/11/the-ten-types-of-people/

What's more, the joke could be, "there are 10 kinds of people, those who understand hexadecenary, those who understand pentadecenary, those who understand tetradecenary [und so weiter] those who understand ternary, those who understand binary, and those who don't." That is to say, a "polarized" debate often has people who hold positions so far from the ones everyone is talking about that those belligerents' concerns are basically indistinguishable from one another.

The act of identifying these distant positions is a radical opening up of possibilities. Take the indigenous philosopher chief Red Jacket's response to the Christian missionaries who sought permission to proselytize to Red Jacket's people:

https://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5790/

Red Jacket's whole rebuttal is a superb dunk, but it gets especially interesting where he points to the sectarian differences among Christians as evidence against the missionary's claim to having a single true faith, and in favor of the idea that his own people's traditional faith could be co-equal among Christian doctrines.

The split that White identifies isn't a split about whether AI tools can be useful. Plenty of us AI skeptics are happy to stipulate that there are good uses for AI. For example, I'm 100% in favor of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group using an LLM to classify and extract information from the Innocence Project New Orleans' wrongful conviction case files:

https://hrdag.org/tech-notes/large-language-models-IPNO.html

Automating "extracting officer information from documents – specifically, the officer's name and the role the officer played in the wrongful conviction" was a key step to freeing innocent people from prison, and an LLM allowed HRDAG – a tiny, cash-strapped, excellent nonprofit – to make a giant leap forward in a vital project. I'm a donor to HRDAG and you should donate to them too:

https://hrdag.networkforgood.com/

Good data-analysis is key to addressing many of our thorniest, most pressing problems. As Ben Goldacre recounts in his inaugural Oxford lecture, it is both possible and desirable to build ethical, privacy-preserving systems for analyzing the most sensitive personal data (NHS patient records) that yield scores of solid, ground-breaking medical and scientific insights:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-eaV8SWdjQ

The difference between this kind of work – HRDAG's exoneration work and Goldacre's medical research – and the approach that OpenAI and its competitors take boils down to how they treat humans. The former treats all humans as worthy of respect and consideration. The latter treats humans as instruments – for profit in the short term, and for creating a hypothetical superintelligence in the (very) long term.

As Terry Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax reminds us, this is the root of all sin: "sin is when you treat people like things":

https://brer-powerofbabel.blogspot.com/2009/02/granny-weatherwax-on-sin-favorite.html

So much of the criticism of AI misses this distinction – instead, this criticism starts by accepting the self-serving marketing claim of the "AI safety" crowd – that their software is on the verge of becoming self-aware, and is thus valuable, a good investment, and a good product to purchase. This is Lee Vinsel's "Criti-Hype": "taking press releases from startups and covering them with hellscapes":

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

Criti-hype and AI were made for each other. Emily M Bender is a tireless cataloger of criti-hypeists, like the newspaper reporters who breathlessly repeat " completely unsubstantiated claims (marketing)…sourced to Altman":

https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/111464030855880383

Bender, like White, is at pains to point out that the real debate isn't doomers vs accelerationists. That's just "billionaires throwing money at the hope of bringing about the speculative fiction stories they grew up reading – and philosophers and others feeling important by dressing these same silly ideas up in fancy words":

https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/111464024432217299

All of this is just a distraction from real and important scientific questions about how (and whether) to make automation tools that steer clear of Granny Weatherwax's sin of "treating people like things." Bender – a computational linguist – isn't a reactionary who hates automation for its own sake. On Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 – the excellent podcast she co-hosts with Alex Hanna – there is a machine-generated transcript:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/2126417

There is a serious, meaty debate to be had about the costs and possibilities of different forms of automation. But the superintelligence true-believers and their criti-hyping critics keep dragging us away from these important questions and into fanciful and pointless discussions of whether and how to appease the godlike computers we will create when we disassemble the solar system and turn it into computronium.

The question of machine intelligence isn't intrinsically unserious. As a materialist, I believe that whatever makes me "me" is the result of the physics and chemistry of processes inside and around my body. My disbelief in the existence of a soul means that I'm prepared to think that it might be possible for something made by humans to replicate something like whatever process makes me "me."

Ironically, the AI doomers and accelerationists claim that they, too, are materialists – and that's why they're so consumed with the idea of machine superintelligence. But it's precisely because I'm a materialist that I understand these hypotheticals about self-aware software are less important and less urgent than the material lives of people today.

It's because I'm a materialist that my primary concerns about AI are things like the climate impact of AI data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems – not science fiction-inspired, self-induced panics over the human race being enslaved by our robot overlords.

Leading Mental Health Services and Support

In recent years, mental health has become an increasingly important topic, with a growing recognition of its impact on overall well-being. Ontario, like many regions, has been striving to improve access to mental health services and support for its residents. With a diverse population and varying needs, Mental Health Services Ontario are designed to be comprehensive, inclusive, and accessible. This blog explores the leading mental health services and support available in Ontario, highlighting the resources that can make a difference in the lives of those seeking help.

Understanding Mental Health in Ontario

The Ontario government, along with numerous non-profit organizations, has developed a robust framework to address mental health needs. This framework includes prevention, early intervention, treatment, and support services aimed at improving the mental health outcomes for all residents.

Key Mental Health Services in Ontario

1. Public Health Services Ontario’s public health system offers a wide array of mental health services, often starting with family doctors who can provide initial assessments and referrals to specialized care. Community Health Centres (CHCs) and Family Health Teams (FHTs) play a crucial role in delivering mental health care, offering services such as counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatric consultations.

2. Community Mental Health Programs Community-based programs are essential in providing accessible mental health care. Organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Ontario division operate across the province, offering a variety of services including:

Counseling and Therapy: Individual, group, and family therapy sessions tailored to specific needs. Crisis Intervention: 24/7 crisis helplines and mobile crisis response teams. Peer Support: Programs that connect individuals with trained peers who have lived experience with mental health issues. Case Management: Support for individuals to navigate the healthcare system, access services, and manage their daily lives.

3. Hospitals and Specialized Clinics

Ontario is home to several renowned hospitals and specialized clinics that offer advanced mental health care. Institutions like the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto provide comprehensive services including inpatient and outpatient care, research, and education. These facilities are equipped to handle complex mental health conditions and offer specialized programs for children, adolescents, and adults.

4. Telehealth and Online Services

With the advent of digital technology, telehealth services have become a vital component of mental health care in Ontario. Online platforms like Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) allow individuals to access therapy and psychiatric services remotely, which is particularly beneficial for those in rural or underserved areas. Additionally, numerous online resources and apps offer self-help tools, virtual counseling, and support groups.

Accessing Mental Health Services

Referrals and Wait Times

One of the challenges in accessing mental health care is the wait time for specialized services. To mitigate this, Ontario has implemented initiatives like the “Access Point,” a centralized referral service for mental health and addiction services in Toronto, and similar programs across the province. These services streamline the referral process and aim to reduce wait times.

Financial Support for Mental Health Services

Mental health services in Ontario are covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) to varying degrees. While services provided by doctors and in hospitals are generally covered, those offered by psychologists or counselors in private practice may not be. However, many employers offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that provide coverage for mental health services. Additionally, individuals can seek support through non-profit organizations that offer free or low-cost services.

Promoting Mental Health Awareness

Raising awareness about mental health is crucial in reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek help. Initiatives like Bell Let’s Talk Day and Mental Health Week play a significant role in promoting mental health education and advocacy in Ontario. Schools, workplaces, and community organizations are increasingly integrating mental health education into their programs, fostering a culture of openness and support.

Conclusion

Ontario’s commitment to improving Mental Health Services Ontario and support is evident in the extensive range of resources available to its residents. From public health services to community programs, specialized clinics, and telehealth options, there are numerous pathways to achieving mental wellness. By continuing to enhance these services and promoting mental health awareness, Ontario is paving the way for a healthier, more supportive community for all. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, don’t hesitate to reach out and explore the many resources available in Ontario.

Travel Insurance Vs. Medical Insurance- Which One to Choose When Traveling

For a frequent traveler, the travel insurance plan in Toronto is mandatory. Travel insurance does make sense to get financial coverage for medical expenses, lost baggage, and delayed flights or cancelation flight benefits.

But when it comes to healthcare expenses, many travelers often confuse whether they need a medical insurance plan in Toronto or travel insurance. Or is it similar to medical insurance? Travel insurance covers medical expenses, but it is not similar to medical insurance. To make it clear, here are the key details.

Travel Insurance Vs. Medical Insurance Plan

If you're traveling to a foreign country, remember that the medical insurance plan in Toronto doesn't cover some medical expenses if you are traveling outside. That is why a travel life insurance plan is the best choice. Some more common differences between travel insurance plans in Canada and medical insurance are as follows:

· Coverage

You should use travel insurance to get the same medical benefits as healthcare insurance. But medical insurance is designed to provide medical coverage only in your country, not outside.

· Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

The travel insurance doesn't cover any pre-existing medical conditions. You may need to ask the travel insurance service in Toronto to know about add-on services or conditions applied to insurance.

At the same time, medical insurance can cover pre-existing conditions and others. However, medical insurance doesn't provide coverage outside the country. So, you have to select a travel insurance plan in Toronto.

· Coverage Tenure

The travel insurance plan in Toronto may provide coverage for 20-30-40-60 and even more years. However, in most cases, these insurance plans work excellently in providing coverage for multiple trips only instead of the whole year. But medical insurance provides coverage for the whole year.

So, medical insurance will provide coverage if you are not traveling outside the country. But travel insurance would be an excellent option if you want more financial coverage.

· Medical Emergency Before Travel

Imagine a day before the flight, you meet with a medical emergency and must cancel the trip. The travel insurance policy might cover the cancellation fees in this situation but not the medical costs associated with his hospitalization and subsequent treatment and recovery.

On the other hand, a health insurance policy would have paid for his treatment during his rehabilitation. It would not, however, pay the cancellation fees he must pay for the reservations and trips he would no longer take.

· Treatment Location

If you experience a medical emergency while traveling, your travel insurance policy could require you to receive emergency care and complete all other treatments at home. International medical insurance will let you receive the care you require abroad. The facility you might miss in travel insurance plans.

· Alternative Benefits

Some advantages include personalized travel policies, particularly for seasoned travelers, groups, or elderly people. This is because their coverage needs may differ from those of others, so generic travel insurance policies might not be appropriate for them. As a result, several insurers also provide personalized travel protection policies.

The primary insurances that travel insurers offer to policyholders are the ones listed above. The terms and conditions of each travel insurance service in Toronto govern the same rules implemented in Toronto.

Wrapping It Up:

So, this is all about medical insurance and travel insurance in Toronto. The coverage and exclusion of both insurance policies vary according to the services you add to the plan. But a travel insurance plan is best if you are traveling outside and need medical coverage and other financial benefits.

But before investing, it is crucial to read about terms and conditions and disclosure statements to make an informed decision. Besides this, check the premium amount you need to pay. If you don't know how to compare different policies, we can help you.
