I read a
[nice rant article](https://unixdigest.com/articles/i-passionately-hate-hype-especially-the-ai-hype.html)
yesterday. The video sources were also fun. Perhaps the greatest demonstration
of marketing genius (maybe it's serendipitous), is setting up the classic _us
versus them_ (catnip), but on generalizations that are stealthily ambiguous
(intelligence, consciousness, reasoning, and thinking).

It's somewhat out of context, but
[Dijkstra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsger_W._Dijkstra) (a computer
scientist) practiced a very exceptional and very brief kind of
[philosophizing](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/32629-the-question-of-whether-a-computer-can-think-is-no).
