the thing that makes ml dangerous is it’s a tool used to shape people’s understanding of the world. teach distributed systems or like, programming languages to whoever you want they’re not gonna use it to twist the fabric of reality

yeah there’s not enough good resources out there. unsolicited but stanford’s cs231n material is (i think) all freely accessible and if you actually do the psets i found it to be the only ml class i took that actually asked me to understand what i was doing

yea it kind of is elitist, but at the same time the time + education required to really deeply understand ml is only accessible to a privileged few who have an p skewed view of the world

yeah i totally agree! i don’t have a solution to it beyond asking those who *are* making ml accessible to couch it in warning after warning after warning but you’re 100% right

plenty of tools out there that make usage simpler without understanding the complexity under the hood is there something special about ML that makes it irresponsible to make accessible?
