I was talking to my father in law today and he's worried that it's going to skynet us or like, make us dependent on it and then quit helping or something.

I tried explaining that it's not a robot, it's not an AI, it's not C-3PO. It's a very elaborate autocomplete. It can't even do kindergarten level arithmetic consistently, which a basic calculator can accomplish, and it's because it's just autocomplete.

"Yeah, but what if it starts teaching itself."

I love the man but God damn people think this thing is so much more than it is.

That is in fact very obviously true. If they hadn't developed their economy far faster than any other society in history, they couldn't possibly have produced enough food and war materiel to defeat the Nazis, which I hope we can agree was an extremely important thing for the Soviets to be able to do.

Thats what I get for trying to use ML terms with an ML, I suppose.

Two faced dishonest hypocrite.

Note: this isn't an ad hominem because I'm not trying to dismiss an idea here, just point out that you're a contemptible person

Which other genocidal anti-communist, anti-anarchist authors do you suggest have "some good ideas?"
