Added 2023-02-25 05:40:12 +0000 UTCYou have heard of pseudo-profound bullshit, now time for an exploration of corporate bullshit by looking at two papers. More extension on factor analysis than you ever wanted outside of an academic setting! See the previous post for the attached articles! Audio to follow.
Also, forgot to set the tier restrictions so consider this a free preview for the Revolutionary Genius tier!

Regarding the usage of jargon, there's a great quote in A Canticle for Leibowitz: "That's just it." He laughed. "The untrained man reads a paper on natural science and thinks; 'Now why couldn't he explain this in simple language.' He can't seem to realize that what he tried to read was the simplest possible language– for that subject matter. In fact, a great deal of natural philosophy is simply a process of linguistic simplification– an effort to invent languages in which half a page of equations can express an idea which could not be stated in less than a thousand pages of so-called 'simple' language. Do I make myself clear?"

What is missing from AI is experiential references and the emotional character that goes along with experience. I think the unique way humans feel, and particularly how we can suffer, is a major component of our art and creativity in general.

The guy has lived long enough despite his life style ( is it the THC, the booze or the adenochrome he can purchase from all the liberals he knows?) You guys need a vampiric category for Maher live-alikes and he’d score a 5 ( Matt would only give him a 3 despite the adenochrome vials on the floor around him.
