I’m confused, how is being anti-fascist (anti-trump) a position that would trouble traditional (Northern?) Labour voters or metropolitan middle-class lefties? Don’t we all hate fascism? Could it be something that’s not about Brexit? 😱

In reply to: @petetrainor @petetrainor I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but isn’t one of the perceived benefits of #Ai precisely that it doesn’t emulate human cognition? That, time-and-again human thinking is proven to be prone to poor judgement when using instinctive behaviours over systematic thought?

In reply to: @debugwand @debugwand @petetrainor I appreciate the bias issues and I don’t think they’re separate or likely to go away. Perhaps what I’m trying to get at is that emulating human behaviour possibly isn’t the best route to, or measure of, intelligence? Might AI simply be different?
❤️ 0 | 🔃 0
In reply to: @petetrainor @petetrainor @debugwand I did, but is ‘instinctual’ behaviour the right kind to aim for? Instincts are typically formed as survival mechanisms because humans are not able evaluate situations quickly, so use shortcuts (bias) as a way to make decisions quickly. Perhaps this is a semantics query 😀🤔?

A fun thought before bed. When we crash out of the EU without a deal, at least it’ll be Boris Johnson who will be selflessly leading us all to the sunlit uplands of Anglotopia in his big red bus of promises, filled with the proceeds of selling the NHS to the US insurance industry

If you live in Ely, you should see how local democracy works. When the local Tories don’t like the result, they call an extraordinary meeting and overturn it.

The terrifying prospect here is not the replacement of money, or becoming a meta-nation, it’s that there’s no recourse to a higher authority, no democracy, no rule of law, no social care. It’s a cyber-libertarian wank fantasy, come to fruition.
