Thomas πβ¨ (thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io)'s status on Saturday, 13-Apr-2024 20:14:52 UTC Thomas πβ¨ Computers as tools for humans are so useful exactly *because* they canβt think and do tedious work like calculations or information storage and retrieval for humans in a *deterministic* way.
It took like nearly 90 years of digital computers to make them powerful enough to run a wasteful algorithm that pretends to think (but doesnβt) and to deliver bullshit non-deterministic results while using absurd amounts of computational and environmental resources.

That's not a personal failure.
It's personal growth. -
