It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The kicker:

The system isn’t purely run on AI. It also relies on human input to help it learn and become more accurate.

And then

And so far it’s getting high marks from employees

(no employees interviewed or cited)

Who call it “Bo-Linda”

Love to regurgitate company PR material as fact

It makes me irrationally mad that machine learning has been renamed to "AI" through deliberate misuse

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well machine learning as always been a subfield of AI

Was it? Maybe in western parlance it was, but I think that's completely inaccurate and is being pushed by companies to market their products

Like, why would you call decision trees or linear regression "Intelligent"? I feel like we're just watering down what intelligence means at this point

That's all liberal intelligence is

The bourgies want to devalue humans with this. Equal the humans to machines to bring more slavery.

I'm still disgusted by computer touchers using "meat" prefixes to denigrate human beings and make the computers they touch seem somehow more uplifted.

It's crude reductionism in the form of "if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" thinking.

that machine learning has been renamed to "AI"

Well that's what happens when you call statistics machine learning

The machine ain't learning shit

I feel like we shouldn't be surprised given the inaccurate mainstreaming of therapy jargon.
