#The Assessor

[heckcareoxytwit]

Miles Morales is fighting not only Black Panther (who is possessed by Varnae), he also fights the illusions of his enemies - The Assessor, Ultimate Venom and Rabble, in the spiritual world. Meanwhile, the two gods - Anansi and Bast, are watching their two champions fight and making their commentary. Then, Anansi steps in to help Miles by exorcising the demonic Varnae from Black Panther. The spiritual fight has ended and they are sent back to the real world at Wakanda. Both Miles and Black Panther are glad that they are back to normal.

Disabled people shouldn't have to jump through hoops!!

"Reviewers told the report’s authors that AI summaries often missed emphasis, nuance and context; included incorrect information or missed relevant information; and sometimes focused on auxiliary points or introduced irrelevant information. Three of the five reviewers said they guessed that they were reviewing AI content.

The reviewers’ overall feedback was that they felt AI summaries may be counterproductive and create further work because of the need to fact-check and refer to original submissions which communicated the message better and more concisely."

Fascinating (the full report is linked in the article). I've seen this kind of summarization being touted as a potential use of LLMs that's given a lot more credibility than more generative prompts. But a major theme of the assessors was that the LLM summaries missed nuance and context that made them effectively useless as summaries. (ex: “The summary does not highlight [FIRM]’s central point…”)

The report emphasizes that better prompting can produce better results, and that new models are likely to improve the capabilities, but I must admit serious skepticism. To put it bluntly, I've seen enough law students try to summarize court rulings to say with confidence that in order to reliably summarize something, you must understand it. A clever reader who is good at pattern recognition can often put together a good-enough summary without really understanding the case, just by skimming the case and grabbing and repeating the bits that look important. And this will work...a lot of the time. Until it really, really doesn't. And those cases where the skim-and-grab method won't work aren't obvious from the outside. And I just don't see a path forward right now for the LLMs to do anything other than skim-and-grab.

Moreover, something that isn't even mentioned in the test is the absence of possibility of follow up. If a human has summarized a document for me and I don't understand something, I can go to the human and say, "hey, what's up with this?" It may be faster and easier than reading the original doc myself, or they can point me to the place in the doc that lead them to a conclusion, or I can even expand my understanding by seeing an interpretation that isn't intuitive to me. I can't do that with an LLM. And again, I can't really see a path forward no matter how advanced the programing is, because the LLM can't actually think.

as a person who, after tapping a texture with one hand, needs to tap another, similar texture with the other hand in order to feel 'balanced', watching Monk mix regular and decaf coffee in order to balance the amount of coffee in two pots and 'make it even'…i feel seen and called out 💀💀💀

Quick question for all the medical staff out there: CPR is usually 30 compressions to 2 breaths, right? I've heard about singing Staying Alive to get the pace of compressions right, but how do you count AND keep the rhythm right?? I have my CPR renewal training tomorrow and I'm overthrowing it

How can my autism diagnosis both feel like an unshakeable truth that I've secretly known my entire life,

But also give me so much imposter syndrome, that only gets worse the more assistance I'm offered?

[beaft]

hey it’s obviously not my business telling you how to live your life but i’m gonna suggest smth to u. as u mentioned BSL recently i’m gonna assume u live in the uk. i do too. i was on a two year wait list to get my autism diagnosis. i finally have it and it is a massive relief. i don’t know what the resources are like where you live, but if you can i would seriously recommend doing the preliminary screening thingies and getting put on a waitlist. being able to have actual medical justification for why i am Like This has made a big difference for me and i imagine it would be helpful for you too. sorry, im sure this stuff has like occurred to you before but yeah i just wanted to reach out

i actually did have a free autism assessment a while back, courtesy of my uni's support service, but it was... kind of a mess? everything was super rushed, they weren't clear on what was required, and the assessment mostly consisted of things like bringing out a picture of a cartoon smiley face and asking what emotion it was feeling, or getting me to read a kid's picture book and describe what was happening on each page. the assessor also spoke to me as if i was about four years old, which i didn't much appreciate as an adult human midway through a master's degree. in the end, she told me she thought it was more likely to be severe anxiety, and that i couldn't be autistic because i was "creative" and "found it easy to make friends". i found the whole thing very off-putting, which is partly why i have not tried to seek a diagnosis since.

nonetheless, thank you for the suggestion - i might look into it and see if i can get anywhere. i'm glad it helped you! i think it would help me too - i've just been put off by the long waitlists, not knowing exactly how to start the process, and the possibility that i might wait two years only to get the same result (not autistic, just weird).

[hotgirlmeg]

it should be totally acceptable to say are you fucking stupid to someone you have to deal with at work like do you even CHECK your email 😐

[valyrfia]

oh my god i'm audhd and when i was getting tested for adhd the most annoying and difficult thing by far about it was how my brain kept trying to erase everything i was meant to be doing in favour of a *really* annoying peppy song (did help prove my diagnosis tho lol), i can't imagine trying to drive an f1 car while your brain is going OHWAHOHHHHH IT'S BUGSNAX at top volume

they probably specifically try to use ones that will get them into a flow state which is why im always 🤨 at those drivers that have specific pre-race routines that include blasting very specific songs. i know trying to set your in-head radio when i see it.

It seems unfair that my mortgage went up almost $400 a month this year when it's clear I live in some people's heads rent free. I should get a tax break for that. A "Headspace Exemption," if you will.

Rereading the rejection letter for my disability claim just makes me so mad. “we don’t consider fatigue as a factor in your ability to do things” girl what the FUCK are you talking about? I have Chronic FATIGUE Syndrome. That’s the whole fucking disability. The fact that I have a working upper body does not MEAN that I can fucking USE IT WHEN THE FATIGUE LITERALLY PREVENTS ME FROM MOVING SAID UPPER BODY

“You said you struggle with planning and navigating journeys, I have decided you can make them unaided” WHAT???? WHAT????? WHAT DO YOU MEAAANNNN YOU DECIDED THAT????? I TOLD YOU I CANT!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT MY AUTISM DIAGNOSIS

Was ist und was macht ein Assessor?

1.

Es geht nun darum, den Weltraumflug zugänglicher zu machen, anstatt ihn als exklusiv zu betrachten. Nur so können wir neue, noch interessantere Weltraummissionen planen und die Grenzen verschieben (Missionstatement fram2).

Im All hört Dich keiner eintreten (Klaus-Thomas Albman).

2.

Der Assessor ist zugangsfixiert und macht zugänglicher. Zugänge zum Machthaber sind genau sein Ding. Der Assessor entwirft oder trägt Insignien, deren Quelle in minderem römischen Recht, nämlich in der Notitia Dignitatum liegt. Die Notitia Dignitatum ist ein Manual und eine Institution der Verwaltung, sie listet nicht nur die Digmata, die Bild- und Schildzeichen, Wappen oder Insignien der römischen Verwaltung auf. Sie liefert auch Pläne, Stadtbeschreibungen und Skizzen administrativer Einrichtung, damit man erkennt, wo man gelandet ist, wenn man eingetreten ist. Die Notitia Dignitatum organisiert die Zugänglichkeit der Verwaltung und ist ein Protokoll der Assessoren.

3.

Es gibt auch Assessorinnen. Rabea Rogge ist die erste deutsche Assessorin im All. Es heißt, sie sei Polarforscherin. Das ist gut möglich. Sie forscht an der Polarisierung und testet, wie weit man gehen kann. Ihr Wikipediaeintrag klingt wie ein in der dritten Person Singular selbstgeschriebener Lebenslauf des personifizierten neuen Berlins ("Sie sammelte umfangreiche operative Erfahrungen und absolvierte Expeditionen, unter anderem auf einem Schiff vor Westafrika, wo sie drei Monate lang forschte") also so, wie bei 98% aller verbeamteten Rechtswissenschaftler und wie bei mir. Das kommt von der Zugänglichkeit, spricht aber nicht gegen die Qualität als Polarforscherin. Klingt alles wie ausgedacht, ist es auch, ich erfinde grundsätzlich nichts.

4.

Die Bildwirkerei ist eine Technik, die sich während des Mittelalter in Franken und beim Schloßherrn Luitpold in Ringberg am Tegernsee um 1920 großer Beliebtheit erfreut hat. Die Bildwirkerei macht das Schloss erst gemütlich. Mit ihren Teppichen bindet sie den Raum zusammen (Lebowski) und macht Architekturen einladender, d.i. zugänglicher. Bildwirkerei kann man heute erwerben: kleine gestickter Bilder, die man auf Overalls bügeln kann (die Sticker sind Sticker). Oben ist der Sticker abgebildet, den Rabea Rogge auf ihrem Overall im All trägt. Er stammt aus der Tradition der Notitia Dignitatum.

Darüber hinaus gibt es die Radiowirkerei. Carl Schmitts Radio Essay mit einem Gespräch über die Macht und den Zugang zum Machthaber (1954) übertrumpft nicht nur das mindere römische Recht der Bildverwaltung und die fränkische Bildwirkerei des Mittelalters. Dieser Essay ist auch ein Manifest moderner Assessoren, was sag ich? Das Manifest der Assessoren schlechthin. Gesetz, Schloss, All, Mailand oder Madrid? Hauptsache zugänglich!

Der Verlag behauptet sogar, der Band mit dem Abdruck des Textes sei Schmitts wirkungsreichster Band. Die größte Radiowirkerei, das kann sein, sie bindet den Raum zusammen. Die meisten Leute sind aber ohnehin zugangsfixiert.

Jaques Derrida hat "(k)urz gesagt(:) ich glaube, man muss Schmitt, wie Heidegger, neu lesen". Glaube ich nicht. Kann man, muss man aber nicht.
