Okay, I'm guilty. I'll clean up my room now... Simple Minds. We stick together like dirty horse flies.
But I would give as much weight

(mass in a gravitational field - cough)

to what is published in Pop Mechanics

Okay, maybe Pop Mech has a wee bit more veracity, but the PSI, eh, the bar is low!

Veracity is closely related to other ethical concepts but possesses its own unique characteristics:

Concept ....................Definition........................ Relationship to Veracity........... Example in Tech
HonestyBeing free from deceit; truthful and sincere.Veracity encompasses honesty but extends beyond it to include accuracy and completeness.A software engineer admitting a mistake in their code, even if it could delay a project.
IntegrityAdherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character.Veracity is a key component of integrity. A person with integrity consistently acts in accordance with truth.A company refusing to sell user data, even if it’s legal and profitable, because it violates their privacy policy.
AccuracyThe quality of being true, correct, or exact; free from error.Accuracy is essential for veracity. Inaccurate information, even if unintentional, violates veracity.A data scientist ensuring that their machine learning model is properly validated and doesn’t produce biased results.
TransparencyOperating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed.Transparency supports veracity by making it easier to verify the truthfulness of claims and actions.A company publishing its source code and documentation for public review and scrutiny.
Okay, I did "PSI" and "veracity", but I'm not sure if I'm on the same wavelength with you. Particle or Probability? Gravity would like to box that in, but don't let it slow your roll.

This table was produced by CLRN (see link at "Software"). Seems like it could be applied to AI companies.

To be clear, I'm unclear what you meant by PSI.

BTW: The company that produced this table has some ethical dilemmas of their own:

"Affiliate programs such as Amazon and other partners pay CLRN a small commission or other compensation for helping bring customers to their websites. "

Is OnlyFans an "other partner"?

These Tech Gods will someday face their own PSI at the Pearly Gates. Make good choices.
