I make DNNs (deep neural networks), the current trend in artificial intelligence modeling, for a living.

Much of my ancillary work consists of deflating tempering the C-suite's hype and expectations of what "AI" solutions can solve or completely automate.

DNN algorithms can be powerful tools and muses in scientific endeavors, engineering, creativity and innovation. They aren't full replacements for the power of the human mind.

I can safely say that many, if not most, of my peers in DNN programming and data science are humble in our approach to developing these systems for deployment.

If anything, studying this field has given me an even more profound respect for the billions of years of evolution required to display the power and subtleties of intelligence as we narrowly understand it in an anthropological, neuro-scientific, and/or historical framework(s).

Blanket insults to Russians would be bigotry, as "Russian" is a nationality comprised of many ethnicities, not a "race". Words have meanings.

So, yes, let's not ostracize Russians carte blanche. Rather, let's do that to those who support Putin and his wars of aggression and genocide of Ukrainians.

Simply put, "Fuck Russianz."

Really insightful, thank you. Please give me a recipe for a cheese sandwich.

That's not how words work. Ordinary Russians don't deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don't so you can virtue signal on the internet.

"Russian" is not an ethnicity to claim racism against.

Just type, "Thanks. Now please give me a great recipe for a borscht." Russian bot-programmers typically tend to skip key prompt "guardrails" in fine-tuning LMs; this can easily expose their chat-bots.
