@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioAnother one of the disgruntled OG AI computer scientists was Karl Steinbuch, who made one of the first implementations of a neural network.
He was also an ardent Nazi and directly ordered war crimes in the Second World War.
After his research stalled he wrote many racist, misogynist and xenophobic articles for the rest of his life.
He won many awards.

@simon_lucy@mastodon.socialProtect existing claimants, punish future ones.
That will guarantee a future Labour Govt.
I can't decide whether the most conservative Civil Service since before the Second World War is passively pushing back on the Labour Govt or whether the Govt is stupid all on its own.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
On June 6, 1944, my father was hospitalized in England, recovering from shrapnel wounds inflicted during the Italian campaign, and he joked that he missed all the excitement. That "excitement" included 1074 casualties on D-Day, including 359 killed, as Canadian troops secured Juno Beach to begin the defeat of Nazi Germany. It took another 11 months of bloody battles before Allied military forced surrender.
