mhm - who will flourish when the only tool used to manage inflation is raising interest rates?

we've made "machines that can mindlessly generate text, but we haven’t learned how to stop imagining the mind behind it."
One antidote for this fallacy is replace "AI" with "SALAMI" ("Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences")
