the thing about computers beating humans at chess is that chess is an extremely easy game to program a computer to play it's culturally prestigious as a symbol of inteligence but it's difficult in ways that noticing things and plotting out potential outcomes are the hard parts and those are far easier for a computer
it's like being alarmed that a computer is capable of adding and storing large numbers better than a person
I still felt bad for that Korean Go player who was made to smoke by the computer touchers at Oxford. I felt bad when I was a kid and my dad beat me at chess.
Pretty sure I could beat him as black now, but I don't enjoy chess. Maybe couldn't beat him in a fair fight because he's bigger than me and works out. He owns a Luger I should inherit.
I don't actually know how to play go but I suspect it's similar computationally but with more potential states of the board chess is limited by the fact that it can only go to 200 rounds. It ultimately doesn't matter that much that computers are more suited than humans for board games because the point of games is to have fun and these are machines designed specifically to be good at the game. A motorbike could beat a human in a race but that doesn't invalidate athletes who train to win footraces
If it helps anything that Korean Go player called it the best game of his life and seemed to have had fun
Fighting STEMlords and other bad people is always fun. Try to choose a game you can win. E.g. protracted people's war. I fucking wish I was bi. Not even joking. When I used meth I only wanted to fuck women and fight people. Vile drug but at least it killed Hitler.
Pretty sure Hitler shot himself. Either way he killed himself to avoid capture by the red army so the Soviet Union killed Hitler.
Winning a game can be fun but it's also only fun if there was a possibility of not winning.
he was deranged and not thinking clearly long before he started on amphetamines although they didn't help
Wait, did ban it because he actually thinks it's an infohazard? Hilarious.
Oh. Maybe I was quoting Roko then. Could be quoting any of these guys really. They're all the same
I get the vibe from a lot of these "my tech startup/cult is gonna stop AM/Skynet/SHODAN" types is the same as Theresa May trying to ban "encryption". They know enough about the pop culture around computers to know these words but not enough to know what they mean.
Yes. The problem with Anglo countries is basically that they are liberal engineers lead by bourgeois lawyers. It's the difference between Peterson and Zizek.
Boris Johnson yelling herd immunity at journalists asking why he hadn't listened to government medical advisors calling for lockdowns was a level of Dunning-Kruger effect beyond any I'd seen before.
We elect literal morons and sex pests. Germany elects Merkel. India elects a fascist psychopath. He's got tomorrow coming. I'll ask my psychiatrist to analyse Modi and Abe. I know what she'll say. She's hot for her age btw. Losers hate her.
Not sure which comment this is a reply to but I bet it's a good one.
Oh hell yeah. One of my best.
She’s hot for her age btw. Losers hate her.
At the end of the day, Merkel-defenders all want the same thing
For real. The absolute state of Germany. "Step on me DDR mommy" -- German liberals
I'd literally let Ulrike Meinhof kill me lol. Fuck the West for locking her up. Impressive bodycount though. Probably fucked better than Merkel.
Massively overestimating both their own efficacy and their enemies' efficacy. Is this ur-fascism?
We should make the basilisk so that we can torture these nerds for eternity
My personal theory is that we're already in Hell and God doesn't give a fuck. My grandparents* were raging atheists lol. Oh and Catholic on mum's side.
It is a disgrace what Boomers collectively did to Australia and their children. But I still love my parents.
*Granddad anyway. He built ships during the war. He quit smoking even when dad's mum kept doing it. Apparently I once told him he was a smart guy but God was smarter lmao. Can't remember saying it because I was like 5.
Intelligence was the only thing I respected when I was young. Look where that got me. Kicked out of university and living in filth. Girls literally only like me because they hate their dads. At least the ones who approach me. Gay guys like me but I'm not into it. My sister is gay.
What could it mean? Should we crucify tech nerds? Should they go outside?
Yud and Aella both need to log the fuck off forever. They are funny though. Imagine giving money to either of them
crucify them but, like, in a nonlethal way. outside, surrounded by flowers and birds and those big fat honey bees who wouldn't hurt you in a million years.
Release the bees upon anyone who wants to nuke the whales. I think I might study psychology in Japan and try to help the hikikomoris. Better than staying here and bombing my landlord's car.
Just need to find a girl with lots of tattoos to bring with me. But with her shit together. Someone Shinzo Abe would hate.
Actually nah that's obnoxious. Not doing that. I'm going to seem orderly and polite and not like an Australian. I like that Japan still has the death penalty. Scary country. Even scarier than Germany and France. Vienna is the scariest city on Earth but it's too small for anonymity.
