AI sucks rocks

[algeh]

I do not want to be a computer science person any more. I want to be a hippie tree sitter. I bet hippie tree sitters do not have to try to make I=⟨D, φ, π⟩ mappings of things when you are trying to map four things to three things or else you've read the question wrong twice. I bet they just get to sit in trees and not shower. I know I can not shower and I bet I could figure out how to sit in trees.

after 3 years of grad school, I'm thinking about buying a backpack and a one-way trip to europe and just seeing if I can ever make it back.......starving on the streets and sleeping out in the cold would be a decent way to harden myself up, but it'd also be quite comfortable and relaxing compared with first-year grad school, in physics at least. Hang in there.
What are you trying to do, parameterize away a variable or soemthing?

Thanks. If this keeps up, I may join you on that Europe thing....although I think I'd be more tempted to try to homestead in Alaska or something.....

No, it's something stupid that probably only exists in AI classes. It has to do with interpretations and which ones are models of knowledge bases and all kinds of things that I am currently failing to care about (I am seriously thinking of switching my focus to automata/formal languages instead of human computer interaction, because AI sucks). As near as I can tell, it involves making a lot of stupid truth tables.

you know, it seems to appeal to a lot of people......let's all fly to different places in europe with a hundred bucks each and play "who can survive all the way to hong kong".....

That sounds like the beginning of a really bad "reality television" series, actually.....

"Down and out in paris and london", the reality TV show!

"...what happens when 6 people from america stop being nice.......and start starving on the streets...."
