"If a lion could speak, we could not understand him" — Ludwig Wittgenstein
Using AI, or deep learning, or whatevers trendy this year, won't work, because we don't have any way of breaking into the whale corpus or of deciphering their logical grammar. The article says that the whales communicate at distance, in the dark, so there would be no behaviour that we could even tie to the clicks themselves to try and generate a meaning.
I just love having a simple life where I don't have to have anything to do with spiritual, emotional or financial fraudsters like these. It's wonderful caring little for money and work and just watching nothing like this ever happen in my little world.
Great how the tech industry, and others, repurpose words so that now even a simple title like 'the Zen of Go' is neither about zen or the ancient boardgame of Go.
Article didn't even italicise its own use of "slide deck" which I thought was a nonsensical name for a pdf/PowerPoint when I first heard it used by some Londonian startup wallies.
While I'm probably going to be marked down as usual, what makes you think you're the smartest person in the room? Doesn't sound like it from the description you gave.
I enjoy carrying a paper diary and using it along with a fountain pen to take notes and remembrances. Looking back through them is much more valuable than looking back through any sort of digital calendar or journal, while being much less expensive and prone to disintegration.
Gardening and the simple joy of starting seedlings and watching them grow into fruitful plants is another life-improver enhanced by the most minimal of tech (although choosing seeds online and their low cost delivery to my home is probably mediated by some considerable tech nowadays).
