Machine Learning
please stop spreading the highly idiotic and toxic idea that there's such a thing as machine 'learning' .
Man I came up with the character name months ago! You could have mentioned it then.
Oh that was meant as a character name? My bad, I missed it. Still...
Machine Learning Marketer is in their office.
Would it be reasonable for me to infer that I am writing such mindless drivel that people are responding to only words here and there without any regard for their context at all? Or did you miss the caps and other references :-)
"The data-based algorithm-weighting technology being called 'machine learning' to distract people from the possibility of real automated algorithm design."
it's not a 'technology' either. It's just a programming technique. And I'm not sure
I get the impression its a different study than programming nowadays, not really certain. It seems much more about using programs around data than writing them, to me, could be wrong though. what you mean by "real automated algorithm design". Software that can itself construct outlines for writing other software, where the outlines are tuned to tasks, possibly new tasks. Anyaway, computers running some shitty software are not
'intelligent' and they don't 'learn'. Intelligence and the ability to learn only exist in humans and to a lesser degree in other animals.
Happy to pick words people prefer. All the same patterns of varying mysteriousness, complexity, effectiveness, and domains, to me.
