ikr signing into my slrpnk.net account was like going to an old home I hadn’t been in for a while.

Downvoted for the Pearl Jam reference. weAreNotTheSame.jpg

(nah, jk, Pearl Jam’s all right…)

When I was a kid and I was trying to get to sleep, I’d close my eyes and remember all the different bedroom layouts I’d lived in. Like in one place the wall was to the left and top and the door was down by the foot of the bed. In another place the wall was just to the top and the window was to the left and down. In another place the wall was just to the top and the door was to the top and left. etc.

I learned a really valuable lesson in first grade. My friend Daniele had a really nice belt-buckle, but he was wearing it upside-down. I was like: Daniele, why is your belt-buckle upside-down? And he was like: so when I look down, I can turn it up and look at it.

Daniele was a pretty wise kid.

Sounds interesting. Glad those topics are still being investigated. So important to remember that even those neural methods labored for decades in the shadows before they finally found the answers they needed.

“discrete AI” (probably has a few other names)

• symbolic AI
• traditional AI
• GOFAI (good old fashioned) AI

Kinda sounds like you’re talking about Explainable AI too. Very interesting set of fields, but I’m pretty sure they’re all having funding problems too.

This time god is drowning us letting us drown ourselves in trash.

Kinda reminds me of the AI winters that AI research has historically gone through.

I suggest you hold out for a Scooby-snack.

I read an interesting article about that: https://thehistoryoftheweb.com/ads/

A day that will live in infamy! But in a good way. A day that will live in famy!

• Naked Lunch soundtrack
• Eraserhead soundtrack (especially side B)
• Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts

Those poor, poor academic publishers… they’re actually going to have to do some reviewing? And maybe even some EDITING? …nah, they’ll probably just run them through OpenAI…

kinda like an… opium? …of the masses?

Game on the couch til I pass out. Wake up halfway thru the night, throw self on the mattress, shedding clothes til I’m comfortable. (varies by time of year)

Even then, it will just slow research down and set us back. Scientists won’t stop sciencing, and it certainly won’t lead to discoveries they want.

Well… that can be more serious that you suggest. Tenure-track faculty need publication-worthy projects and grad students; what if the only funding available is military- and surveillance-oriented? Big universities are going to expect scientists to bring in the money or leave.
