As companies destroy the world in pursuit of profits that will never come, I welcome our Butlerian Jihad (lemmy.world)

For those unfamiliar the Dune series, the Butlerian Jihad was a crusade against “thinking machines”. Ultimately computers, and intelligent or thinking machines, even down to calculators are destroyed and banned. Humans who are trained in complex mental maths become known as Mentats, a sort of human computer. Just, uhh, leave all that shit on Bene Tleilax, with their Axalotl Tanks out of it.

Edit: had wrong planet name. IX -> Bene Tleilax

*deduce, in case you're not a native English speaker. "Deduct" is like "subtract".

I can't think a response from Grok that would add to the tableau. Whether Grok gets the answer right or wrong, the joke is that someone follows a post decrying the surrender of thought to machines by immediately surrendering thought to a (racist) machine. It's complete.

Somehow deduce to me sounds like some rich French lady, but merci mon ami, that is the word i meant. And i do agree, the meme is not incomplete this way.
