Haha, that neural networks story is h...@Anonymous,<br /><br />Haha, that neural networks story is hilarious. I have also known some neural networks folks who had this same kind of "genius".<br /><br />I don't expect this climate warming crowd can be convinced of something that would be against their interests, no more than believe that tenured professors can be vigilant critics of the establishment, but you never know...<br /><br />Anyway, it's a lot to expose their reasoned behaviors. Informed folks are great judges of the underlying forces.<br /><br />I would be happy to be convinced either way and will follow my gut and the calculations I understand until then.Denis Rancourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743375141824505606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828122657384873884.post-3183289070776659352011-05-13T19:17:48.763-04:002011-05-13T19:17:48.763-04:00Hi Prof.

His advice to me was that "Neural networks will rot your brain."<br /><br />Later on I was working at a place where the neural network experts were proposing to build nets on four or five data points. I didn't need artificial intelligence to detect brain rot.<br /><br />Do you think that you will ever be able to convince your correspondents that their theories are flawed? To put it another way: Do you think that you could ever convince people who continually adjust their theories to accommodate pathological exceptions that the theories are unsound?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
