The undersea war is a major problem for the UK and Ireland, and one both countries will need to take seriously

@davidgerard.co.uk given that your allegations were wrong, can you please delete your posts about us, which are still online for some reason and free for other people to see and share.

Just to be clear, that guy is completely 100% wrong. bsky.app/profile/chri...

This is wrong.

a) The article literally states we did the analysis with AI. We used semantic search to ID paragraphs relating to a topic, then grouped text into categories by their meaning.

b) The model outputs were, as below, boolean indicators about whether something fit a category.

no, it did something we could never have done -- reviewing and sorting 7,500 separate paragraphs across five years of 10-Ks/10-Qs and one year of earnings calls. it created work for me, it took it from no-one.

Chris Cook @chriscook.news · 14d

they paid me to research, write and edit this. we did this. the ai did none of those things.

I think it's three quotes now?

Chris Cook @chriscook.news · 14d

i have a lot on this week. but using AI tools to group them by their own meanings (without regard to anything else-- just reading the text) is something we do a lot. you don;t need a load of the old logits or ML stuff we used for this. it's better, and faster -- as we know from validation tests

Chris Cook @chriscook.news · 14d

i'd like to make a correction to my correction: actually it's fine, i misread my own copy.

Chris Cook @chriscook.news · 14d

we did! we used the API to categorise quotes! "is this text in a well defined category" is a really good use of them! so you can ask them "does this mention XYZ" and get them to reply TRUE/FALSE. Then we do validation exercises to check they do what we wanted. The *TEXT* never comes out of it.
