Prolog Education Group clueless about the AI Boom?

[Mild Shock]

Concerning this boring nonsense:

https://book.simply-logical.space/src/text/2_part_ii/5.3.html#

Funny idea that anybody would be interested just now in
the year 2025 in things like teaching breadth first
search versus depth first search, or even be “mystified”
by such stuff. Its extremly trivial stuff:

Insert your favorite tree traversal pictures here.

Its even not artificial intelligence neither has anything
to do with mathematical logic, rather belongs to computer
science and discrete mathematics which you have in
1st year university

courses, making it moot to call it “simply logical”. It
reminds me of the idea of teaching how wax candles work
to dumb down students, when just light bulbs have been
invented. If this is the outcome

of the Prolog Education Group 2.0, then good night.

My suspicion, teaching WalkSAT as an altermative
to DPLL, and show its limitations would maybe give
more bang. We are currently entering an era that
already started in the end of 1990

when some new probabilistic complexity classes
were defined. Many machine learning techniques
have also such an aspect, and it will only get
worse with Quantum Computing. Having

a grip on these things helps also distinguishing
when a AI acts by chance, or whether it diverts from
chance and shows some excelling adaptation to the
problem domain at hand. Like here,

anybody an idea what they mean by “above chance”?

Hi,

Salary Templates if you "Grok" ML / AI [PhDs negotiate salaries]:

Tendency to go towards 500'000.- USD per year

But I guess you need to have the talent to train a ChatGPT.
Still very rare, I had interesting discussions on the internet.

LoL

Bye
