@Silversnapples @FknHannu Well OK. Cite @HalvarFlake instead, he hit the nail on the head for me computationally vs #LLM before I found what Chomsky said (and his argument is partly from biology so much stronger), but Chomsky is #Chomsky (Prof. computational linguistics) and no amount of dancing around the issue is going to change that. The revisionist approach to history does not work out well in my experience. Some try to airbrush the Nazis out of history. Germany today doesn't. #TAANSTAFL

I'm No Longer Waiting For The Storm To Pass - ZNetwork

> I'm not going to pretend that the photos of Chomsky grinning next to Bannon or Epstein didn't utterly disappoint me. They did. But I think that the work Chomsky did is still relevant and will be for the foreseeable future. As he himself said with regards to Marx, people aren't gods, I'll learn from him and move on.

I'm No Longer Waiting For The Storm To Pass

Working as Noam Chomsky’s assistant, and in later years his fellow traveler, the lessons I learned spanned various domains and disciplines, but most

Chasing Noam Chomsky is Futile

"Manufactured Consent" was written in 1988 to warn us about where the media was taking us. Instead of leading us away from this future, we went straight into it.

What went wrong?

Maybe we need a different path to follow:

A very sensible question from Mooné Rahimi @[email protected]

To all lefties around the world who suddenly decided to talk about Iran recently: Where have you been when there was a massacre happening in Iran by the Islamic Republic regime? If you didn’t talk about Iran then, please shut your mouth right now because we Iranians don’t want your selective activism.

That’s the #Chomsky syndrome in action - declarative left-wing people ready to absolve any crimes against humanity as long as they are declared as anti-imperialist…

The fact that that #Chomsky has been caught up in the whole #Epstein thing kinda feels like a form of poetic justice.

As a supposed person of the left, you can’t get away with #genocide denial and apologism for non-western fascists without some kind of comeuppance

It would just be nice if commentators like Mehdi Hassan would acknowledge this instead of doing a reverse-MAGA ‘Chomsky isn’t perfect’

3/ Für Mathematiker*innen. Das ist ein indirekter Beweis. Man nimmt an, es gäbe einen längsten Satz und führt das dann zum Widerspruch, indem man zeigt, wie man aus dem angenommenen längsten Satz einen noch längeren machen könnte. Leider hat das aber einen Haken, denn Sätze mit mehr als – sagen wir mal – 100.000 Wörtern können wir beim besten Willen nicht als Einheit verstehen. Wenn es nur endlich viele Wörter gibt (aus demselben Grund: maximale Wortlänge), dann kann es auch nur endlich viele Sätze geben.

Mich hat das alles gleich geärgert, als ich es zum ersten Mal gehört habe.

Diese Unendlichkeitsgeschichte geht im Prinzip auf #Humboldt zurück, spielt aber bei #Chomsky eine große Rolle.

Wer möchte, kann mal Abschnitt 13.1.8 lesen:
