@carpetbomberz @silsby @olivia also loved this part:
"[A]ll science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly coincided. (Marx, 1894, p. 592)"
This is the logic of AI, of fascism, of sexism, of racism. That is, because things look a certain way, that therefore they are a certain way. Internal properties are wrongly derived from their superficial appearance. "I see that somebody has long hair, therefore I can conclude they are a woman."
