@Anachron what really annoys me is that GPUs with their massive parallelism would enable really cool algorithms but nobody is researching those anymore as all the (grant) money is in AI memery. we really live in the most bullshit future imaginable.

@bonifartius what we imagined 20 years ago was solving the most complex issues humans have.

@Anachron yes. i'm really disappointed. it feels like the last 20 years were lost, mostly to some DEI bullshittery and creating the torment nexus instead of really building a better world.
