What is Qualia?
WMD's can be improved by being cognizant of what ____ are being embedded mathematically into an algorithm
What are values?

These are words that have so many different meanings that people can understand different things by them.
What are suitcase words?

What is automaticity?

What is the Charioteer Model?
A hypothesis of WMD's is that it is not the WMD itself which is unfair or discriminatory rather the ___ which can cause damage.
What is the Use of WMD's?
The tendency to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run
What is Amara's Law
When a conditioned stimulus (CS) no longer predicts the unconditioned stimulus to which it was paired in the past, the CS gradually stops eliciting the conditioned response.
What is Extinction Learning
“ML systems, tools that fundamentally classify, order, and predict, I argue, are practices that reincarnate Cartesian and Newtonian worldviews that seek stable, predictable, and complete understanding.”
Who is Abeba Birhane
Entities whose behavior can be most usefully understood and predicted by the method of attributing to them beliefs, desires, and rational choice
What is an Intentional System?
Society prioritizes ____ whereas models prioritize ____, resulting in unfair outcomes
What is fairness and efficiency?
______, literally 'note world,' which when applied to a creature refers to the world that can be sensed by that creature.
