Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I just want to point out that every single heavily downvoted, idiotic pro-AI reply on this post is from a .ml user (with one programming.dev thrown in).

I wonder which way the causation flows.

Machine learning is essentially AI with a paper-thin disguise, so that makes sense

[–] Architeuthis@awful.systems 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's kind of the opposite, GenAI is downstream of machine learning which is how artificial neural networks rebranded after the previous AI winter ended.

Also after taking a look there I don't think lemmy.ml has anything in particular to do with machine learning, it looks more like a straight attempt at a /r/all clone.

the ml in lemmy.ml stands for marxism-leninism

wait til you find out what the ml does stand for, it’s a real trip (and it sure as fuck ain’t Mali)
