So hat #KI oder besser #ML (für #maschinellesLernen) also schon die #Lehre zu Änderungen veranlasst.
Auch die Wissenschaft wird von der KI-Welle überrollt.
Dabei sind KI-Methoden eigentlich unwissenschaftlich.Wären sie zur Zeit von #Newton zum Einsatz gekommen, so hätten sie den Lauf der #Planeten am Himmel vorhersagen können.
Aber sie hätten das zugrunde liegende #Gravitationsgesetz nicht erkannt, nach dem die Himmelsmechanik abläuft.In Hinblick auf ein echtes Verständnis von Naturvorgängen könnte sich KI/ML also als Rückschritt für die #Wissenschaft herausstellen.
Deshalb wird in der Lehrveranstaltung #Bioelektronik an der @tuberlin weiterhin der Schwerpunkt darauf gelegt, die Gehirne der Studierenden statt die Funktion von KI-Systemen zu trainieren.

Recently i wrote that Names of Angels was the 2nd most popular image on fromoldbooks.org; this is the most popular, a 19th century engraving of Sir Isaac Newton, famous for inventing the apple.
I’m actually not certain why it’s so popular - i should check!
Today i added the shirt, prints, socks... https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/174109620

Op deze dag in 1993 lanceerde Apple de Newton MessagePad! 📝 Een voorloper van de smartphone, maar zijn handschriftherkenning was... eh... creatief. 😂 Gelukkig leerden ze ervan! 😉 #Apple #Newton #TechGeschiedenis #Fail #Throwback

A conversation.
“When experts disagree, usually the best thing to do is listen to what the majority of experts say. There’s no guarantee that they’re right, but they’re more likely right than wrong. And if the majority view is overturned, it’s almost guaranteed that this will be done by other experts in the field presenting evidence for the minority view, not by random kibitzers.”
“For the history buffs in here, while most scientific knowledge is advanced incrementally, the true breakthroughs are usually ridiculed by the reigning experts. That is why appeals to authority are the worst kind of logical fallacy for a scientist.”
“That’s the pop-history version of scientific progress. The actual #history of #science is very different. Kind of like the difference between ‘history buffs’ and historians.”
===
Yes, there are examples—a few—of genuine breakthroughs that were ridiculed by the scientific establishment of the day. I bet you know what they are, because everyone does. They laughed at #Semmelweis, they laughed at #Wegner, they laughed at Luis and Walter #Alvarez, they laughed at #Marshall and #Warren. These things happened.
But they did not laugh at #Galileo: indeed, they took his work with deadly seriousness. (And there really wasn’t any such thing as a “scientific establishment” at the time.) They did not laugh at #Newton, or #Watt, or #Darwin, or #Gibbs, or #Pasteur, or #Einstein, or #Curie, or #Heisenberg, or #Fisher, or #Watson and #Crick and poor unacknowledged #Franklin, or #Tharp and #Heezen, or #Ostrom and #Bakker, or #Hansen, or the vast majority of scientists whose work has fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe.
At least if by “they” you mean scientists working in relevant fields, who understood the questions at hand … not, in most cases, scientists from other fields, or those with no scientific experience at all. Nor the religious and political ideologues who muddy the waters by creating fake “controversies” to cast doubt on results they know are true, but cannot accept.
In some cases they disagreed, quite vociferously. There were debates that descended into shouting matches, professional disagreements turned into personal feuds, once-eminent researchers become sad cranks, ruined careers and shortened lives. Yes. These things happened too, and that’s a tragedy.
But most of the time, most researchers in the same fields as the revolutionaries said, “Oh, that makes sense!” Problems that had seemed insoluble suddenly became simple, or at least it was possible to see how there might be an elegant solution. Major discoveries spawned a host of medium-sized ones, each of which in turn spawned endless minor ones—and endless minor papers, academic bread and butter for when you can’t get steak and lobster. Everyone wins.
Those ideologues I mentioned above? They really, really want you to believe the narrative of ridicule. You might want to consider why.

@maddiefuzz @netkitty I definitely had Neko on my 68k Macs but I *think* I had Neko on my eMate 300, too! #Newton #ClassicMacOS
