#unpopularopinions there is no problem with #AI "It’s not the models that are unethical; it’s the systems that reward their misuse." Timnit Gebru & Margaret Mitchell

Oh, Donald Fagen!

So, wrong, so wrong!

(Nice song, though.)

"I.G.Y." from 'The Nightfly', from 1982.

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

I feel that, at the time of its release (1982), this song (and album) was the ultimate in Donald Fagen/Steely Dan sarcasm. Somehow, I think sardonic is the better word, except that's an adjective rather than a noun.
I.G.Y. stands for "International Geophysical Year" which was some special designation that fell upon the year 1957. Who decided that, IDK, best to check wikipedia if you're curious.
The United States felt confident as to their role in the burgeoning "space race" at that time. Very optimistic times, all in all. Anyway...
