Man why do all people working the most menial tech jobs have such an obsession suggesting some shitty "research" fad in CS as a solution centuries-old complex problems in all other science fields? It's cringe, reeks ignorance and the comparisons are flat out wrong most of the time.
It's especially worse when low-quality popular science journalism promotes this notion, like this Quanta article about the human vision system working just like transformers do.
- gjm11 3y ago> the most menial tech jobs How do you know what job moffkalast has, and why does it matter? This reads like pure snobbery to me. (Also: moffkalast did not in fact suggest that anything is a solution to a centuries-old problem. "Some common rhetoric about LLMs is too simplistic" is a far cry from "LLMs resolve all the perplexities about human consciousness and thought".)
