Tech is the funniest industry and it always will be.

It's a bunch of people who think they are creatures of pure logic, but every problem they try to solve turns out to be a human problem that is inherently illogical.

The results are endlessly hysterical.

@forrestbrazeal that's because any system that people interface with will have all the problems people have.

I like to think that technology is supposed to be a interface for humans to reality. To work all of our biases and shortcomings backwards, abstract them away.

The problem seems to be that nature already did it's best to do that and it couldn't figure it out. So what does that mean for us?

@BlueBee @forrestbrazeal Well said. Even putting aside biases, etc, something as 'simple' as interpreting a single word consistently across all users is rife with problems. (See the old joke about what it means when various branches of the military 'secure' a building--all entirely different results from one another).

@BlueBee @forrestbrazeal nah, nature doesn't care if you overfit, as long as it doesn't cause you to be eaten by a lion
