"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" - Emerson

I, for one, find it very practical.

I do a lot of thinking by visualizing relationships between concepts in a kind of graph. When I draw, I visualize the scene first. When I build widgets in my wood shop, I visualize the result and all intermediate states. When I was writing 3d renderers (a long time ago), it was immensely helpful to visualize the points and triangles in my head.

You might have a better point if the elected person hadn't made such a big show of following "mandates" from the voters. You can't have it both ways.

There was a pride festival recently during which people were wearing rainbow clothing and waving flags. Do you think all of those people are part of an organization with leaders and "cells" or whatever? Or, maybe, they were all just expressing the same sentiment and using flags and colors and badges to do it?

> Why do you think that intelligence of a Turing-complete system trained on human data can be likened to a Russell's teapot?

I don't? You are presenting opinions as if they are mine, but they are not.

I did not express my opinion or "worldview." I was simply responding to this:

The incident would not have happened without Flock misreading the small numbers in the middle of the plate as it tracked them around town.

The point is that you're asking someone to prove a negative.

"Flock’s AI tech wasn’t registering that non-standard little number when it began picking up the Range Rover around town"

That sure sounds like an accuracy issue to me!

How do you know there's not a teapot orbiting the sun?
