@Clint_Davey1 I thought that said "Mein Axis Powers"

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

the mathematicians pushing back on AI say that it might help with proofs, but not our HUMAN UNDERSTANDING of math.

so I got curious how chess players think AI engines help them better understand chess.

and found this clip of Magnus Carlsen:
“the neural nets have improved our understanding of the game immensely.”

watch his HUMILITY towards these engines:

“it’s just that my understanding is not good enough. And that is useful.”

“I rarely play against engines at all because they just make me feel so stupid and useless.”

@dhh I've probably been on this blessed site since before half its users were born.

Not a lot of internet websites that used for 18 years.

Amazing endorsement of X. This really is where you'll find the most optimistic, forward-looking people in tech.

Not every algorithm run of the @manacaster_game algorithm produces a winner.

I'm the first to admit slop when I see it. The name, the typesetting, the fingers....

but holy shit, one mana to ether gain a life and ping, or pay 4 life and +4 ATK? JEEEZ
