argumentum ad computerum

if computer had anything to do with my claim, it's probably true!

I feel like I've spent my entire life fighting this attitude.

Computers are not a magical black box that tells you what to do.

You'd think people would understand this after multiple decades of regular use of them, and how buggy and awful the software is.

We can't even get the easy, 100% deterministic stuff right.

And when we do get it right, no one touches it ever again just in case it breaks.

That's why most software on earth is still written in COBOL.

No need for a new term, it's just argumentum ab auctoritate. The computer is implied to be authoritative.

“The thrust is not to take every possible data and put it into the system, but to proactively look for events that will signify the rare events,” Karniadakis said. “We may not have many examples of the real event, but we may have those precursors. Through mathematics, we identify them, which together with real events will help us to train this data-hungry operator.”

Translation: "we have no data"

INTO THE BIN IT GOES

If people someday made an intelligent electronic mind, they would give it all the keys to all cities and authority. Maybe that's how computer revolutions actually go.

If my fortune teller is a computer then it must be real.

So guesses are now "stochastic events."

Funny how academic terminology ends up in the so-called "public discourse," endlessly repeated by corporate news and their government managers.

Minority Report soon, I guess.

"In the paper, the research team shows that combined with active learning techniques, the DeepOnet model can get trained on what parameters or precursors to look for that lead up to the disastrous event someone is analyzing, even when there are not many data points. “The thrust is not to take every possible data and put it into the system, but to proactively look for events that will signify the rare events,” Karniadakis said. “We may not have many examples of the real event, but we may have those precursors. Through mathematics, we identify them, which together with real events will help us to train this data-hungry operator.”"

Yeah...

Congrats, the computer gets fed data on things and can recognize them. This isn't anything unusual.

If x->y, and y is rare, but always comes from x, then seeing x can help you prepare if it causes y

I'm ready for it to get banned when it starts pointing out the black crime rate, and that dem policies are actively harmful, and that trannies rape kids

Next they'll decide the earliest human was pithecanthropus computerurus.

EDIT: Yeah, NOBODY got this joke...
