So when states without AI data centers seek to ameliorate tax and zoning obstacles, it won’t be Federal preemption in their way, but what benefits Trump.
And I think that the Nazi-salute guy who runs Twitter is playing a game with this.
Which is why they don’t piss off well-adjusted adults. Which is why they’re funny. Drunk logic, cat logic, these can fit in cartoons. David Letterman said, “If what you've done is stupid, but it works… then it really isn't all that stupid.” But that phrase is delusional in the way ironical maths justify themselves.
The thing about logic is that there’s “animal logic”. A human can observe an animal’s logic and, understanding their system, exploit it. Different logics all around; astrology, crypto, etc. I used the word human to relate what a rational observer can do with some smaller model of logic.
So I’m happy when I see articles about the culture of logic. In this case, ironical “Girl Math” and “Boy Math” are being observed, rationally, by the human capable of exploiting them. Those juvenile joys are punctured a little when you have to admit that someone more rational is exploiting your cute logic.
And coffee? Does it matter whether you buy beans and grind them yourself, or offload that grinding to a processor person?
Linnaeus did this, and allowed himself to be wrong, and I argue his organization alone was necessary to talk about theory.
