@cstross I'm a data scientist and it's not even a good idea for /AI/. Sure that subset of applications that need Really Massive datasets will be easier, but only a handful of companies can access the compute power to train them anyway. Meantime the smaller, more targeted AI models that are, you know, processing x-ray images or making prescription data digital, don't see any benefit at all.

@Waiting4Thunder @ScottSoCal @masukomi @youronlyone @nellie_m @autistics @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @autism @pathfinder you can do the nine times table on your hands. Hold up ten fingers. Put down the one on the left. You have 9. Put that one up, and the next down. You have 1, 8. Move the finger along, 2, 7, then 3,6 and so on.
To get for instance 9 x 7 put down the finger 7 from the left, and you have 6 fingers on the left and 3 on the right!
