Baldur Bjarnason has given his thoughts:

I mean… yeah.

Also, between this and seeing tech types link glowingly to a crazypants “colonise the light cone by exploring latent space” type of delusional bullshit and I’m staring to worry that computers, as a concept, might not be salvageable after these clowns have run the show into the ground

    colonise the light cone by exploring latent space

    Can someone explain what this is referring to? I don't understand it.

    references these two topics. I suspect the phrase itself in this case is a shitpost taking aim at some of the absurd bullshit TESCREALists come up with in their nonsensegabble, but ...... it is also the kind of nonsensegabble that some of them may unironically post

    is it cynical that i find the idea of a "latent space" a bit goofy? may just be because i think data science is kind of a joke and much machine learning is "we threw shit at our model but don't know what a category error is"

    like it's just dimensionality reduction with new vocab?
