And how about the indigenous Inca & Maya people, nobody wants to see their human sacrifice culture celebrated on Facebook (Mel Gibson exposed the ugly truth in Apocalypto)
And the Spanish Inquisition, Bluebeard, Ivan The Terrible, Robespierre, Lenin, Beelzebub and Donald J. Trump?
there is not much math, don't let the academic papers razzle dazzle you, they make things look complicated to get their grants
in practice, as long as you've studied basic calculus and understand how to find a minimum of a function via derivative you're good, there is your "gradient descent" in a nutshell: https://www.mathsisfun.com/calculus/maxima-minima.html
everything else is plug-and-play from existing libraries
you can ask any "data scientist" or "ML engineer" what they do all day, it's a whole lot of copy paste, and tweaking the data and parameters through trial and error until it fits
If you want to understand how the brain works this is a good intro with some realistic neuronal network models ( spoiler: these have nothing to do with “artificial neural nets” as we know them) https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Computations-Edmund-T-Rolls/dp/...
That’s correct understanding as of 1943 when the “artificial neural network“ model your professor is teaching was developed.
There is a whole lot of new knowledge on how live neurons and networks of neurons work that had been collected in the last 75 years in the neuroscience domain but it’s mostly ignored by computer scientists.
not encouraging delusions of mentally ill is not about “opposing their existence”, these people need help.
“Gender Dysphoria” is still considered a psychiatric disorder and (arguably) should be treated as such.
I think Chappelle’ jokes oppose the “celebration” of mental illness that somehow became the new normal recently, that one is not allowed to speak against.
with the recent trend of bringing up race everywhere from shampoo ads to Netflix series to fake news to fake elections I can't trust anything which mentions race in the title.
