I'm confused. I've just been given my first ever Mastodon warning, and had my post about the weird "null" strings in the Coles app deleted because it "may violate one or more community guidelines"

If a bunch of engineers said they were on the verge of making an artificial liver, and couldn't find one medical expert to cosign their statement, you'd go "oh they're frauds"
But for some reason a lot of people don't do this when computer scientists say they're going to make artificial intelligence.
Nobody who works with the brain thinks it's going to happen.
