1/ Bayesian methods aren't new. GPUs made them far more accessible. Artificial Neural Networks aren't new. GPUs made them far more accessible. GPGPU programming is an important instrument, rendering previously intractable problems tractable at desktop scale. Promethean fire!https://twitter.com/generativist/status/976571465620324352 …

2/ But, don't forget that GPGPU programming is an tool, and not *really* a general one. The instrument selects for theories whose testability comports to a specific set of hardware-associated constraints. And, that subset need not intersect the one with all the good theory.
