Geweldig!

Not a scream just a nice thing people might enjoy. Somebody made a funny comic about what we all are thinking about

Random screenshot which I found particularly funny (Zijn rant klopt):

Indeed, we also don't have an attribute called friendship, nor does money have a value attribute or stuff like that. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It shows a total lack of understanding of what people are talking and arguing about, just what looks like a very dumb attempt at a gotcha, while butting into a conversation that has been had for years now (which isn't even about him).

Time to derail conversations about computers by saying you don't believe in digital ones and zeros because of the volt values are not one or zero. I'm reminded of Dawkins book where he magics away altruism by redefining the word away.

Yeah, im saying that for laymen the term edge is vague, and that it is explained by the context of the piece. I'm complaining about the industries weird jargon, and how easily it slips into everyday usage.

And then you hear people say stuff like: "Just put your logs into splork so you can look at the seim (which people pronounce as seam)".

Via Emily M Bender, "AI's capabilities may be exaggerated by flawed tests, according to new study"

Also where they keep the warp engine and the zero point energy generators. Wake up sheeple.

'I don't believe people have an attribute called gender'

That must be one of the more dumber things I have read in a while.

Think that is in part intentional so people don't start squabbling over what does and doesn't count as 'the edge' in edge cases, as it also quite depends on the setup of the organization/people you are talking about. But yeah it is badly defined, which is also why I noticed it.

Like how this is an explainer for laymen but still just casually drops an 'on the edge' reference. The meaning of which might not be clear to laymen (the context explains it however, so it isn't bad, just talking about how much jargon we all use).

Being that and saying stuff like :

Computers today are designed around engagement and surveillance business models rather than user needs.

Is something. Esp as they say the biggest problem is advertising and surveillance online.

Shit only got 1 of those.

(Before people ask, my cult thinks it is very important I let them edit my posts).
