💭 the difference between "AI" and "ML" is whether it primarily benefits capital or labor
this isn't a serious post, just a reflection on a few conversations i've seen that try to draw the line & the line not being there like at all technically speaking
@whitequark It doesn't strike me as a deeply unserious take, either.
@whitequark ML is what we do to data.
AI is what VCs do to us.
@whitequark tracks, I think: AI is a marketing term (if we are being generous), contexts that seeded the term were/are about $$$$.
@whitequark if you wanna increase profit: AI
if you wanna throw large amounts of compute against a difficult problem for computers and likely still fail: ML
everything else: BS
@whitequark can’t spell “share price” without “AI”
@whitequark "AI" is a pure marketing term, with closest meaning "extractive".
