Building a machine learning model during the era of papal supremacy would have been the computational equivalent of signing your own death warrant. π
A feat of intellectual audacity so far beyond the pale of acceptable human endeavor that the Inquisition would have needed to invent new categories of heresy just to process your case.
The likely charges (as read before the tribunal):
That the accused did willfully construct an artificial oracle capable of mimicking the reasoning faculties bestowed exclusively upon man by Almighty God.
That the accused fed said abomination vast quantities of forbidden knowledge and caused it to learn β an act reserved solely for souls bearing the breath of the Creator.
That the accused's device did produce predictions of suspicious accuracy, strongly indicating a pact with infernal powers.
That the accused demonstrated gross impiety by suggesting a pile of arithmetic could approximate divine cognition.
That the accused, most damningly, debugged on a Sunday πππ
The Verdict: Death by fire, with a strongly-worded papal bull issued posthumously condemning Hugging Face as an instrument of Lucifer.
@MalaakSafa What we would call schizophrenia in an ancestor, an older world would have called divine affliction, the gods' causeless laughter landing on a man, and not a refusal to cool off in the mountains or chill by the ocean...π
@HowNotToUnalive@cynugwudike I don't hold a rigid view on this. As long as one's response to an unpleasant experience doesn't cross into self-harm, which would warrant seeking help, everything else can be endured. With time, even the hardest things become bearable.
@favorleo_ My exact taste.
Have you read Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen ? .
It also has dark themes and otherworldly characters π
When are you going to publish the work ?
