    Getting Smarter AI < Making More Money

    Is there more money in smarter AI or in manipulating people’s voting patterns with the tools you’ve got?

    I saw Suck at Trump’s inauguration, I didn’t see this Chinese feller there.

      this Chinese feller

      He’s French, actually.

      This is one of the three people that basically invented Deep Learning . One of the others is Geoffrey Hinton, who got the Nobel Prize in 2024

      No matter what you think of LeCun or his opinions… he’s damn well worth listening to with attention and respect.

        Nah. Nobody “invented” “deep learning”. Assuming there’s some progress of science it’s independent of any particular privileged bro. In fact this kind of “hero” worship is extremely anti-science. Nowadays this guy is just another mediocre grifter rich bro (regardless of past research that anybody could have done with a fair opportunity).

          Good for you for owning up to it like a grown up. Might I suggest rewarding yourself by shumming?

              Shumming.

              It’s a new word I learned the other day on lemmy.

              It’s when you shit and cum at the same time.

              Here it is a sentence “I’m going to shun all over your face”

              Or “I can’t right now, I’m shumming!”
