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.
really it was the background of extreme antisemitism, cultural impact of the eugenics movement and obsession with Prussian militarism if I had to pick three factors
I don't think there really were military industrial complexes before ww1 and ww2. Wars back then were considered ruinously expensive and resented by the bourgeoise for their disruption in commodity production. The workers weren't big fans either given all the dying involved but no one cared what they thought
The British built Rommel up after the war because that makes having beat him seem more impressive. A good general is a general that wins Rommel lost
Shall I tell that to his grandson? Not me. A gay guy I used to know. Might be dead now. I last talked to him in 2015. He was abusing cocaine and antipsychotics. Liked guys to shit on his chest.
who Rommels grandson? I don't like Rommel because he fought for Nazi Germany I don't see why I would want to involve his family. If Rommels grandson is not a Nazi I think that bygones should be bygones
Why? Because he was eating whole packs of antipsychotics and considering a bilateral cingulotomy and clearly had daddy issues. He was crashing cars and shit. Reminded me of me.
It's not. What he should actually do is steal his dad's car or something. Maybe crash it or take a shit in it. Better than lobotomising yourself. Not joking.
He would make the greatest antifascist since Thälmann. He'd scare the absolute fuck out of any Australian cop. Spiritually Aboriginal. Spiritually Tasmanian in fact.
Tasmanians who move to Melbourne tend to rule. The Bedroom Philosopher is one. I'll post some of his music later.

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

The Prussian military industrial complex was wild. Wehraboos fetishise it. Australians fetishise Rommel far too much. More on this another time.

Bygones are bygones. He's a cool guy. I hope he didn't start using meth.
well good for him I suppose
I think he should fight his dad lol. He was living at home when I last saw him.
why
Why? Because he was eating whole packs of antipsychotics and considering a bilateral cingulotomy and clearly had daddy issues. He was crashing cars and shit. Reminded me of me.
I didn't know what I know now back then.
I'm not sure fighting your dad is necessarily the best way to help your mental health but then I don't know either of your dads
It's not. What he should actually do is steal his dad's car or something. Maybe crash it or take a shit in it. Better than lobotomising yourself. Not joking.
well that does sound better than getting a lobotomy but neither sounds like a great plan
Liberal psychiatry's plan for Stefan was to destroy him. Fuck that. I hope he's alive and well. I hope he's still being cool.
yeah a lobotomy definitely doesn't sound like it's in his best interest
He would make the greatest antifascist since Thälmann. He'd scare the absolute fuck out of any Australian cop. Spiritually Aboriginal. Spiritually Tasmanian in fact.

"please just stop" indeed
Yeah I do everything on purpose (now)
