in the late 2000s there was a failed academic landgrab in the digital humanities called "critical code studies", where non-programmers tried to conduct critical readings of code snippets. it went about as well as you would expect

I swear California combined with Universities/humanities results in some of the most useless middle class jobs. Just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.

That already exists, it's called AI Ethics. What do you think will be the AI Ethics equivalent of the Sokal affair? I'd say GPT-4chan was pretty close but that was actually serious (although it had the same reaction to it as to the Sokal affair).

It's called an anytime algorithm and anyone with a first-year undergrad knowledge of algorithms and complexity would know this. That said, it's only relevant for algorithms that find approximate solutions, rather than exact ones.

“What’s reality? I don’t know. When my bird was looking at my computer monitor I thought, ‘That bird has no idea what he’s looking at.’ And yet what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can’t really panic, he just does the best he can. Is he able to live in a world where he’s so ignorant? Well, he doesn’t really have a choice. The bird is okay even though he doesn’t understand the world. You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.”
