@wallhackio i agree with the subject line

this aged very depurressingly

It has been pointed out again and again that the practical potential of computational linguistics, and of computational semantics as an essential part of it, is immense. Still, it is fair to say that the practical achievements of computational semantics have so far been quite limited. The reasons for that, I think, are two-fold. Automated symbolic processing of natural language is notoriously brittle: even where it is clear what the system should compute, it often lacks the necessary resources, in particular wide coverage lexicons with substantive semantic information and world knowledge in accessible form. But in many cases the problem goes deeper. We still haven’t even properly understood yet what it is that should be computed. These are hard problems, which will be solved – to the extent that they can be solved at all – only by people who have the combination of skills that are presented and taught here as parts that naturally fit into a coherent whole.

@vaporeon_ and, like, the joke still clearly lands

@wallhackio @coriander lol goalbin successfully pissed you off instead

ny’all, including you, @clock

@coriander thanks goalbin i love you too

i feel like i’ll purrobably revert soon but i'll try reordering the purronouns to it/she and seeing how that feels
