This move has been on my todo list since last year, and I'm grateful to have Hachyderm now host my main account.
As a re- #introduction , I'm Bogdan, a Romanian Γ©migrΓ© that's passionate about computing. To put a label on my passion is a bit hard, but I've so far dabbled in Deep Learning, Statistical Modelling, Distributed Systems, Platform Engineering, Hardware Hacking, Cryptography, InfoSec (jack of all trades, master of one type sh).
I consider myself quite far-Left, generally opposed to capitalism due to it's exploitation, destruction of natural habitats and stunting of human evolution and progress. I believe in a Rainbow Coalition of generally left-leaning people as something to strive for. I have the loosely held belief that mass immigration in its current shape is modern day colonialism where the resource that's extracted is human labour.
I consider AI a marketing term for the broad deployment of Deep Learning models, but I'm not a follower of the Western-dogma that AI performance is computationally bound. I believe in the ability of machine learning to be used for good, and that those capabilities will be unlocked by research done by followers of the algorithmic efficiency over "just one more datacentre bro". I believe Chinese AI labs are the counterbalance to the insane spending bubble that Western AI companies have gotten into.
I also blog, and I recently wrote about why you might reconsider using πΉπΌ when referring to Taiwan.
