If they were physicists they’d hold the tip of the handle with a pinching gesture, then pull the hammer back to horizontal and let it drop. Swinging with a perfect arc it would thud into the pope’s head with just enough force to hurt anyone who was still alive, and get a response.
However seeing as they’re still using a hammer to test for brain activity - we can assume the Catholic Church isn’t that friendly to science or something.

Who put Lysenko in a position of power?
Look bud, I don’t have all day to teach you this shit. I’m not your mommy or daddy or the teacher at the local school, so just stop bothering me with your lack of knowledge about this.
Lysenko was elected in 1945 to the ruling committee of the USSR Academy of Sciences—the top scientific institution in the country—numerous scientists spoke out against him, citing his poor scientific reputation [7]. Over the next several years, Lysenko was criticized numerous times, and there were even steps taken to open an institute of genetics [4]. From 1946-1947, up to 1.5 million people died within the Soviet Union due to famine [18]. Lysenko’s nadir during this period was reached in April of 1947, when he was harshly criticized by Russian chemist Yuri Zhdanov, who highlighted Lysenko’s failures. He pointed out the destructive manner in which Lysenko had demonized geneticists, and argued that monopolies in science inhibit advancement [4]. Zhdanov’s words were particularly dangerous for Lysenko, given that the chemist was from a family with close ties to Stalin (e.g., Zhdanov went on to eventually marry Stalin’s only daughter) and he was a member of the powerful Central Committee of the Communist Party [13].

I feel you don’t know much about what you’re on about.
Trofim Lysenko
The downfall of Soviet genetics and agriculture occurred due to the alignment of numerous social, economic, scientific, meteorological, and political factors. No single person can bear complete blame for the events, but a crucial actor in the story was Trofim Lysenko. Lysenko was born to a Ukrainian…

I also think you’re arguing just to argue rather than doing something more useful.
Bye.

Past the numbers I told you about.
I’m done here - you’re having a conversation with yourself at this point. I addressed the topic I addressed (the deaths from starvation Lysenkoism caused).
- Comment on Think about it 5 weeks ago:
You seem to think I denied those numbers rather than being the person who pasted them to you.
- Comment on Think about it 5 weeks ago:
No, I wasn’t. Also, frankly he wasn’t “responsible” for Holodomor and it’s clear you still don’t know what Lysenkoism is.
He was responsible for directing the hunger politically, not for seeking to, or being the cause of the famine.
I’m sure you’re understanding pf history isn’t deft enough to understand what I’ve said, so I’ll simplify it for you:
If one person turns a tap on and another directs the water, who is responsible for the fact the tap is on?
I’m saying Lysenkoism (which has little to do with socialist and communist doctrine or schools of thought) is the man who turned the tap on. Stalin, being an authoritarian monster - chose to direct the water to what suited him politically. But the famine at that point was already happening.
As I said, probably too nuanced a point for you to grasp. But maybe you’ll surprise me.

Where’s it say to do that?
Why would correcting one point of fact mean ignoring another? That’s not how truth works.
Two statements can both be true at the same time.

Not directly. The conman Lysenko, originator of Lysenkoism was. Stalin didn’t aim intentionally to create mass starvation in Soviet Russia. Nor did Mao in Chin, these were issues of understanding science which we tale for granted today but weren’t well understood at the time.
Wikipedia:
Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin’s regime were 20 million or higher.[5][6][7] After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8][9][10][11][12] around 1.5 to 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[13][14][15] some 390,000[16] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[17] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.[18] According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were “purposive” while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.[2] The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[19] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 are sometimes included with the victims of the Stalin era.[2][20]

I’m sorry, the discussion was never about factuality. You said search engine. They are in fact searching and reconstructing data based on a probabilistic data space.
…and there are plenty of examples of search engines being sued for the types of data they’ve explored or digitized.

It’s searched in training, tagged for recall then that info is filtered through layers. So it’s pre-searched if you will. Same thing as meta tags.
Then the data is processed into cells queries flow through during generation.
99% of what it generates doesn’t come from anywhere in particular, and you wouldn’t find it in any of the sources which were fed to the model in training.
That doesn’t matter. It’s still using copywrited works.
Anyways you’re an AI stan, and defending theft. You can deny it all day, but it’s what you’re doing. “It’s okay, I’m a software engineer I’m allowed to defend it”
…as if that doesn’t stop you from also being a dumbass.

“data gathering” and “training data” is just what they have you calling it.
It’s not data gathering, it’s stealing. It’s not training data, it’s our original work.
