    I've been working in our industry for almost four decades. Yeah, ageism is an ugly part of our industry too.

    Yes it is. I've been here for over a decade. But despite your tip, I'm still going to speak freely this one time.

    I'll probably get downvotes for telling the truth, but whatever, it deserves to be said even if folks only see it for a few hours. Our industry is still full of sexism and racism. …

    You're invoking Nazis and Isil in a discussion about farming. You've lost the plot.

    Yeah, I've used that a lot. Yet another example of how AI engines can help you learn quicker.

    Chess engines aren't useless for beginners. That's an empty claim and is as easily dismissed as it was made. I gave a list of reasons why a chess engine is good for learning. Refut…

    That same argument has been wrong over and over again. So there's no reason to believe it's now suddenly a good argument unless given solid evidence. Distortion was just another to…

    That doesn't validate the claim.

    Some of what you are claiming is false. Most chess AIs for example can identify almost every opening move in existence. Something no human can do. That's a type of position evaluat…

    You're claiming that gossip and hero worship and celebrity didn't exist before the 20th century which is a wild claim that you'd need to back up with evidence. Humans haven't chang…

    The same arguments were made to dismiss rock music when compared to classical music. And a world without the Velvet Underground would be more soulless to me. I've heard soulless mu…

    Now you need to define what a unique, profound emotion is. And you need to define great execution. And you need to explain why intentionally having poor execution couldn't express …
