“Humans in the loop” must detect the hardest-to-spot errors, at superhuman speed

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me SATURDAY (Apr 27) in MARIN COUNTY, then Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!

If AI has a future (a big if), it will have to be economically viable. An industry can't spend 1,700% more on Nvidia chips than it earns indefinitely – not even with Nvidia being a principle investor in its largest customers:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39883571

A company that pays 0.36-1 cents/query for electricity and (scarce, fresh) water can't indefinitely give those queries away by the millions to people who are expected to revise those queries dozens of times before eliciting the perfect botshit rendition of "instructions for removing a grilled cheese sandwich from a VCR in the style of the King James Bible":

https://www.semianalysis.com/p/the-inference-cost-of-search-disruption

Eventually, the industry will have to uncover some mix of applications that will cover its operating costs, if only to keep the lights on in the face of investor disillusionment (this isn't optional – investor disillusionment is an inevitable part of every bubble).

Now, there are lots of low-stakes applications for AI that can run just fine on the current AI technology, despite its many – and seemingly inescapable - errors ("hallucinations"). People who use AI to generate illustrations of their D&D characters engaged in epic adventures from their previous gaming session don't care about the odd extra finger. If the chatbot powering a tourist's automatic text-to-translation-to-speech phone tool gets a few words wrong, it's still much better than the alternative of speaking slowly and loudly in your own language while making emphatic hand-gestures.

There are lots of these applications, and many of the people who benefit from them would doubtless pay something for them. The problem – from an AI company's perspective – is that these aren't just low-stakes, they're also low-value. Their users would pay something for them, but not very much.

For AI to keep its servers on through the coming trough of disillusionment, it will have to locate high-value applications, too. Economically speaking, the function of low-value applications is to soak up excess capacity and produce value at the margins after the high-value applications pay the bills. Low-value applications are a side-dish, like the coach seats on an airplane whose total operating expenses are paid by the business class passengers up front. Without the principle income from high-value applications, the servers shut down, and the low-value applications disappear:

https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/

Now, there are lots of high-value applications the AI industry has identified for its products. Broadly speaking, these high-value applications share the same problem: they are all high-stakes, which means they are very sensitive to errors. Mistakes made by apps that produce code, drive cars, or identify cancerous masses on chest X-rays are extremely consequential.

Some businesses may be insensitive to those consequences. Air Canada replaced its human customer service staff with chatbots that just lied to passengers, stealing hundreds of dollars from them in the process. But the process for getting your money back after you are defrauded by Air Canada's chatbot is so onerous that only one passenger has bothered to go through it, spending ten weeks exhausting all of Air Canada's internal review mechanisms before fighting his case for weeks more at the regulator:

https://bc.ctvnews.ca/air-canada-s-chatbot-gave-a-b-c-man-the-wrong-information-now-the-airline-has-to-pay-for-the-mistake-1.6769454

There's never just one ant. If this guy was defrauded by an AC chatbot, so were hundreds or thousands of other fliers. Air Canada doesn't have to pay them back. Air Canada is tacitly asserting that, as the country's flagship carrier and near-monopolist, it is too big to fail and too big to jail, which means it's too big to care.

Air Canada shows that for some business customers, AI doesn't need to be able to do a worker's job in order to be a smart purchase: a chatbot can replace a worker, fail to their worker's job, and still save the company money on balance.

I can't predict whether the world's sociopathic monopolists are numerous and powerful enough to keep the lights on for AI companies through leases for automation systems that let them commit consequence-free free fraud by replacing workers with chatbots that serve as moral crumple-zones for furious customers:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0747563219304029

But even stipulating that this is sufficient, it's intrinsically unstable. Anything that can't go on forever eventually stops, and the mass replacement of humans with high-speed fraud software seems likely to stoke the already blazing furnace of modern antitrust:

https://www.eff.org/de/deeplinks/2021/08/party-its-1979-og-antitrust-back-baby

Of course, the AI companies have their own answer to this conundrum. A high-stakes/high-value customer can still fire workers and replace them with AI – they just need to hire fewer, cheaper workers to supervise the AI and monitor it for "hallucinations." This is called the "human in the loop" solution.

The human in the loop story has some glaring holes. From a worker's perspective, serving as the human in the loop in a scheme that cuts wage bills through AI is a nightmare – the worst possible kind of automation.

Let's pause for a little detour through automation theory here. Automation can augment a worker. We can call this a "centaur" – the worker offloads a repetitive task, or one that requires a high degree of vigilance, or (worst of all) both. They're a human head on a robot body (hence "centaur"). Think of the sensor/vision system in your car that beeps if you activate your turn-signal while a car is in your blind spot. You're in charge, but you're getting a second opinion from the robot.

Likewise, consider an AI tool that double-checks a radiologist's diagnosis of your chest X-ray and suggests a second look when its assessment doesn't match the radiologist's. Again, the human is in charge, but the robot is serving as a backstop and helpmeet, using its inexhaustible robotic vigilance to augment human skill.

That's centaurs. They're the good automation. Then there's the bad automation: the reverse-centaur, when the human is used to augment the robot.

Amazon warehouse pickers stand in one place while robotic shelving units trundle up to them at speed; then, the haptic bracelets shackled around their wrists buzz at them, directing them pick up specific items and move them to a basket, while a third automation system penalizes them for taking toilet breaks or even just walking around and shaking out their limbs to avoid a repetitive strain injury. This is a robotic head using a human body – and destroying it in the process.

An AI-assisted radiologist processes fewer chest X-rays every day, costing their employer more, on top of the cost of the AI. That's not what AI companies are selling. They're offering hospitals the power to create reverse centaurs: radiologist-assisted AIs. That's what "human in the loop" means.

This is a problem for workers, but it's also a problem for their bosses (assuming those bosses actually care about correcting AI hallucinations, rather than providing a figleaf that lets them commit fraud or kill people and shift the blame to an unpunishable AI).

Humans are good at a lot of things, but they're not good at eternal, perfect vigilance. Writing code is hard, but performing code-review (where you check someone else's code for errors) is much harder – and it gets even harder if the code you're reviewing is usually fine, because this requires that you maintain your vigilance for something that only occurs at rare and unpredictable intervals:

https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1773779967521780169

But for a coding shop to make the cost of an AI pencil out, the human in the loop needs to be able to process a lot of AI-generated code. Replacing a human with an AI doesn't produce any savings if you need to hire two more humans to take turns doing close reads of the AI's code.

This is the fatal flaw in robo-taxi schemes. The "human in the loop" who is supposed to keep the murderbot from smashing into other cars, steering into oncoming traffic, or running down pedestrians isn't a driver, they're a driving instructor. This is a much harder job than being a driver, even when the student driver you're monitoring is a human, making human mistakes at human speed. It's even harder when the student driver is a robot, making errors at computer speed:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/01/human-in-the-loop/#monkey-in-the-middle

This is why the doomed robo-taxi company Cruise had to deploy 1.5 skilled, high-paid human monitors to oversee each of its murderbots, while traditional taxis operate at a fraction of the cost with a single, precaratized, low-paid human driver:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/11/robots-stole-my-jerb/#computer-says-no

The vigilance problem is pretty fatal for the human-in-the-loop gambit, but there's another problem that is, if anything, even more fatal: the kinds of errors that AIs make.

Foundationally, AI is applied statistics. An AI company trains its AI by feeding it a lot of data about the real world. The program processes this data, looking for statistical correlations in that data, and makes a model of the world based on those correlations. A chatbot is a next-word-guessing program, and an AI "art" generator is a next-pixel-guessing program. They're drawing on billions of documents to find the most statistically likely way of finishing a sentence or a line of pixels in a bitmap:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3442188.3445922

This means that AI doesn't just make errors – it makes subtle errors, the kinds of errors that are the hardest for a human in the loop to spot, because they are the most statistically probable ways of being wrong. Sure, we notice the gross errors in AI output, like confidently claiming that a living human is dead:

https://www.tomsguide.com/opinion/according-to-chatgpt-im-dead

But the most common errors that AIs make are the ones we don't notice, because they're perfectly camouflaged as the truth. Think of the recurring AI programming error that inserts a call to a nonexistent library called "huggingface-cli," which is what the library would be called if developers reliably followed naming conventions. But due to a human inconsistency, the real library has a slightly different name. The fact that AIs repeatedly inserted references to the nonexistent library opened up a vulnerability – a security researcher created a (inert) malicious library with that name and tricked numerous companies into compiling it into their code because their human reviewers missed the chatbot's (statistically indistinguishable from the the truth) lie:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/28/ai_bots_hallucinate_software_packages/

For a driving instructor or a code reviewer overseeing a human subject, the majority of errors are comparatively easy to spot, because they're the kinds of errors that lead to inconsistent library naming – places where a human behaved erratically or irregularly. But when reality is irregular or erratic, the AI will make errors by presuming that things are statistically normal.

These are the hardest kinds of errors to spot. They couldn't be harder for a human to detect if they were specifically designed to go undetected. The human in the loop isn't just being asked to spot mistakes – they're being actively deceived. The AI isn't merely wrong, it's constructing a subtle "what's wrong with this picture"-style puzzle. Not just one such puzzle, either: millions of them, at speed, which must be solved by the human in the loop, who must remain perfectly vigilant for things that are, by definition, almost totally unnoticeable.

This is a special new torment for reverse centaurs – and a significant problem for AI companies hoping to accumulate and keep enough high-value, high-stakes customers on their books to weather the coming trough of disillusionment.

This is pretty grim, but it gets grimmer. AI companies have argued that they have a third line of business, a way to make money for their customers beyond automation's gifts to their payrolls: they claim that they can perform difficult scientific tasks at superhuman speed, producing billion-dollar insights (new materials, new drugs, new proteins) at unimaginable speed.

However, these claims – credulously amplified by the non-technical press – keep on shattering when they are tested by experts who understand the esoteric domains in which AI is said to have an unbeatable advantage. For example, Google claimed that its Deepmind AI had discovered "millions of new materials," "equivalent to nearly 800 years’ worth of knowledge," constituting "an order-of-magnitude expansion in stable materials known to humanity":

https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/millions-of-new-materials-discovered-with-deep-learning/

It was a hoax. When independent material scientists reviewed representative samples of these "new materials," they concluded that "no new materials have been discovered" and that not one of these materials was "credible, useful and novel":

https://www.404media.co/google-says-it-discovered-millions-of-new-materials-with-ai-human-researchers/

As Brian Merchant writes, AI claims are eerily similar to "smoke and mirrors" – the dazzling reality-distortion field thrown up by 17th century magic lantern technology, which millions of people ascribed wild capabilities to, thanks to the outlandish claims of the technology's promoters:

https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/ai-really-is-smoke-and-mirrors

The fact that we have a four-hundred-year-old name for this phenomenon, and yet we're still falling prey to it is frankly a little depressing. And, unlucky for us, it turns out that AI therapybots can't help us with this – rather, they're apt to literally convince us to kill ourselves:

My Highlights from AEW Double or Nothing 2023

We did Night of Champions now it's AEW's turn to do the big PPV. While people will say it wasn't built well (something they said last year if I recall) there's a lot of potentially great wrestling matches on the card, so let's see how it went down on the night and list out the positives.

Note: because of growing disinterest and lack of time on my bank holiday I won't be doing NXT Battleground that aired at the same time, sorry about that

Spoilers for the PPV

Buy-In

Paul Wight looking to Stokely when Renee said the 'biggest big man', their rapport was great too we could put them as a commentary team...if we still had Dark/Elevation

RJ's interview with Arn was funny too

The Gunns didn't have the same music but I do like that they kept the spotlight entrance

Gonna sound weird, but it's good to see HOOK sell, of course doing several squashes can help you grow a reputation but if you can't sell you're only doing half the work

It's smart that the Owen is finishing in Calgary this year, I wonder who is in it though

Main Show

Kip going straight for OC is clever and fits continuity, also it was smart that Bandido made the save given his affiliation with Best Friends

Swerve waiting on the outside too is smart

Brian Cage's run against the Luchadors were fun, reminded me of his Lucha Underground days

Trent sacrificing himself for OC

I had Jay winning but Ricky eliminating Jay was well done

The final sequence of the battle royale was great, need a proper Swerve vs OC match, the final move is hilarious as well, perfectly on brand

And I'm not upset that OC retained, because as much as this would've protected OC, whoever takes it from his exhausted bruised flavedo deserves to do it 1 on 1

Sabu's role was mercifully brief, mainly designed to remove the JAS

Britt getting some revenge on Jericho and Saraya with the Kendo Shots

Clever of Jericho to shift into a choke with the chain when he missed the Judas Effect

Mark Briscoe's ref outfit

The pop for Sonjay getting ejected

Also the heat for Karen hitting Aubrey, you don't hit Aubrey!

It was good story payoff too that Jarrett snapping on Mark was his own downfall

Tease of Bullet Club vs FTR?

Saraya and Jericho actually gel really well

Christian back with his turtleneck, it always puts a smile on my face

The final third of the ladder match was well done, it was a good adlib from the broken ladder incident too

Dang Julia

The Dominik burn by the Acclaimed's rap

Jade's entrance was impressive too

I don't think it was a Sit-out Blue Thunder Bomb (looked almost like an Olympic Slam/Powerbomb to me) but whatever it was I thought it was cool

STATLANDER'S BACK!

STATLANDER BEAT JADE!

Congrats to Tay and Sammy as well, explains why we hadn't seen Tay in-ring either

Darby's video before his entrance was hilarious too

And that attire, half bones, half Elvis, perfection

The orchestral MJF entrance with the descending throne too was on brand extra from Max

MJF's dialogue before being hit is still humorous

And his pop-up Powerbomb/Backbreaker is still meaty as fuck

The mentor finisher reference too was a great spot

Also Sammy tricking Max by laying down, saw it coming but still a clever move

The pinning sequences spot too

A clever finish to a great match too, Darby thwarted by JB and then Max, JB thwarted by his own indecision, Sammy thwarted by Darby but Max once again seals it with a headlock takeover

If there was any doubt that the Four Pillars match wouldn't rock, that doubt is now silenced

SHIT'S ABOUT TO HIT THE FAN

Irony of Vegas singing Kansas too

It's not Anarchy in the Arena if the match starts while Wild Thing is still going

Danielson was slid down the stair railing

Rick Knox is even blading!

And the Bucks Superkick the singer XD

Mox going full CZW with the fork

Piledriver in the back of a car

Moxley and Yuta doing the same move that lost them the last Anarchy in the Arena was a clever move that went under the radar

EXPLODING SUPERKICK!?

Claudio doing the crab walk with Yuta on his shoulder

Conclusion

It was not perfect, but thanks to the double main event the show ended up being a good one. I'm of course irked by some things; Takeshita heel turn (he's too pure for that Tony!), Jamie losing in what was essentially a sprint, and the finish of the Unsanctioned Match (if AEW is not responsible for the harm caused by the competitors why is there a ref stoppage?), but the lows are outweighed by the good. We had some exciting twists that did reignite the crowd when they got quiet and both the Four Pillars and Anarchy in the Arena matches were as advertised.

My hope is that we find directions for the likes of Taya, Acclaimed, and many of the Battle Royal competitors, which Collision may manage to cater towards, but I can honestly say while it wasn't a great PPV, it was still worth the money, and I had more fun watching this than I did Night of Champions by a fair margin.

Match of the Night: Tough to call but I'm gonna go with the Four Pillars Four-Way over Anarchy in the Arena, Take my boy why you gotta be heel? And not even BCC Heel you gotta be Don Callis Heel!? I would've preferred betrayed heel Dark Order tbf not the Cinnabon man! Best Entrance: Entrances don't get used too often which is why I tend to omit it but since we had 6 unique entrances in this show I'm picking Jade Cargill Best Attire: I feel fine about picking Jade for Best Entrance because Darby wins best attire for me with the Elvis/Skeleton suit Best Performance: Four Pillars tie, they all just did so well Spot of the Night: Exploding Superkick by Matt

How Often Should You Get Your Car Detailed in Calgary?

If you take pride in your vehicle, keeping it clean and well-maintained is likely a top priority. But when it comes to professional detailing, how often is too often? And how long should you wait before booking your next session? In a city like Calgary, where unpredictable weather and road conditions can take a toll on your car, finding the right detailing schedule is essential.

The Calgary Climate and Your Car

Calgary’s unique climate plays a significant role in determining how frequently you should get your car detailed. With cold, snowy winters and dry, dusty summers, your vehicle is constantly exposed to elements that can damage its paint, upholstery, and undercarriage. Road salt in the winter can lead to rust, while summer dust and pollen can accumulate quickly inside and out.

Because of these factors, Calgary drivers often need more frequent detailing than those in milder climates. But exactly how often should you book an appointment?

How Often Should You Detail Your Car?

The ideal detailing schedule depends on several factors, including how often you drive, where you park, and your personal standards for cleanliness. However, for most Calgary drivers, a professional detailing session every three to four months is a good rule of thumb. This means a quarterly detailing routine—once in winter, spring, summer, and fall—will keep your car in top shape year-round.

If you drive daily, park outside, or have kids or pets, you may need car detail calgary more frequently, possibly every six to eight weeks. On the other hand, if you rarely use your vehicle and store it in a garage, you might get away with detailing it just twice a year.

Winter Car Detailing: A Must for Calgary Drivers

Winter in Calgary is especially harsh on vehicles. The constant exposure to snow, slush, and road salt can cause significant damage over time. Salt residue can corrode your car’s paint and undercarriage, while melted snow can seep into your interior, leading to mold and unpleasant odors.

Because of this, many experts recommend a deep winter detailing session in early December or January, focusing on salt removal, undercarriage cleaning, and interior protection. Applying a high-quality wax or ceramic coating during this time can also help protect your car’s paint from further damage.

Spring Cleaning for Your Vehicle

After months of battling the winter elements, your car deserves a fresh start in the spring. A thorough spring detailing in March or April will help remove built-up grime, clean out the interior, and prepare your vehicle for warmer months ahead. This is also a great time to shampoo carpets and seats to remove any salt stains that may have settled in over the winter.

Summer Car Detailing: Keeping Dust and Pollen Away

While summer may seem like an easier time for your car, the dry Calgary climate can lead to dust buildup, both inside and out. Tree pollen, bird droppings, and bug splatter can also cause paint damage if left untreated. A mid-summer detailing session in June or July can help keep your vehicle looking fresh while protecting it from the sun’s UV rays. Many detailers offer ceramic coatings or paint sealants that provide extra protection against sun damage and oxidation.

Fall Detailing: Preparing for Another Harsh Winter

Before the snow and ice return, a fall detailing session in September or October is a smart investment. This is the time to apply a durable wax or sealant that will help your car’s exterior withstand winter conditions. Fall detailing should also include an interior deep clean, as dirt and dust collected over the summer can quickly turn into a mess once wet boots and heavy coats come into play.

DIY Maintenance Between Professional Detailing

While professional detailing every three to four months is recommended, regular at-home maintenance can help keep your car in top condition between appointments. Washing your car every two weeks and vacuuming the interior at least once a month will prevent excessive buildup of dirt and debris. If you have leather seats, applying a conditioner every two to three months will keep them soft and prevent cracking.

The Bottom Line

In Calgary, where weather extremes are part of everyday life, getting your car detailed regularly is not just about aesthetics—it’s about preserving your vehicle’s value and longevity. A seasonal detailing schedule, combined with regular maintenance, will ensure your car stays clean, protected, and looking its best no matter the time of year.

If you’re unsure about the best detailing routine for your specific needs, speaking with a local detailing professional can help you determine the ideal frequency and services for your car. After all, a well-maintained vehicle is more enjoyable to drive—and worth more when it’s time to sell or trade in.
