Comment on The Great AI Weirding

Comments

Calling this "weirding" is wrong and misleading (particularly going to the trouble to insert the definition). The post is describing the opposite, a great normalisation. AI research (and everything else) becoming legible, quantifiable, gamified, and Goodhart's law-ed.

Also, weirding was originally a term used in the novel Dune.

Frank Herbert isn't the only person allowed to gerundize a word. :-)
