"To grasp the proposed relationship between compression and understanding, imagine that you have a text file containing a million examples of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Although any compression algorithm could reduce the size of this file, the way to achieve the greatest compression ratio would probably be to derive the principles of arithmetic and then write the code for a calculator program."

@peter I love how absolutely of a movie this all is, by the way. Creating a reckless lie machine that's great at persuasion as our first cut at moving toward actual AI.

the hamburger, the most photographed food item you would train an AI on, and your lettuce looks like weird green barf.

"What I saw is signs that the institution was maybe being politicized in a way that might undermine the mission of the university and what I would want to do there,” he told the Tribune. “If I moved from my current job, which is a decent job, to UT, what kind of intellectual community can I build there?"

"When you go somewhere as a senior faculty member, you’ re thinking about, ‘OK … how am I going to build that department?” Schnakenberg said. “If I go there and I have tenure, but they don’t have tenure — and what I want to do is build a group in my field — that sounds very difficult because junior faculty wouldn’t want to come."

I read about a movie on Defector due to a column, so I looked it up on IMDB to see who was in it. The Google splash before I went down and followed the imdb link was just straight up wrong about the cast. Just someone who is not even in it listed under "cast" in the auto google thing
