💭 the difference between "AI" and "ML" is whether it primarily benefits capital or labor
@whitequark in 2026 this is Correct and serious imo
@whitequark some of my colleagues are clinging to the hope that the phrase AI can be saved but eh
@whitequark or as we were saying when I started in academia "machine learning is what we do in scikit-learn, ai is what they do in powerpoint"
@fay i only say "not serious" because whether something primarily benefits capital or labor is often a really hard question to answer
