Saffron is the best anti-depressant.

Women didn’t stop going to church, they just started to get sermons from other places.

Scientists, while useful to human progress take too much undeserved credit for progress which often arose from tinkering, serendipity not armchair gatekeeping of what can be considered science.

People are saying, ‘Sir, we own nothing!’ and I say, Listen, folks—you’re gonna own NOTHING, zero, zilch, and you’ll LOVE it, okay? The best happiness, unbelievable! And these pods? Gorgeous, beautiful, nobody builds pods like us. Made in America! America! And the bugs—tremendous protein, the best bugs, really high-quality, folks. All grown here.

@BowsacNoodle @theorytoe @tyler It is a parlor trick for now, but from a creator’s point of view everything will seem like a parlor trick.

@BowsacNoodle @theorytoe @tyler Instead of gatekeeping what really is “AI” or some other jargon, we should focus on what it can do. The fuzzy logic systems and 90s systems needed hand coded inputs and examples to learn from. The modern systems can directly learn from reality. e.g. a 90s machine learning system might have needed to see more examples of a rare event manually oversampled by the analyst in the training data, but a modern machine learning system doesn’t need such manual oversampling. It can learn that rare things stay rare. This is just one among many things it learns without manual help.
