Comment on The Emergent Symbolic Structure of Artificial Neural Networksparent

A sidenote, but that is not a typical Amish opinion of technology:

"Amish do not view technology as evil, and individuals may petition for acceptance of a particular technology in the local community" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish_way_of_life#Use_of_moder...

See also https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/how-the-amish-let-technol... about some Amish use of cell phones with adapters to be more payphone/landline-like and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21349989 was a discussion about the use of pneumatic machinery by the Amish.

I know that and I am sorry if I offended anyone (would be wild to meet a real Amish here!), but that was the only example I could find that met approximately the behavior of the OP. I thought about ludites as well but that was worse still.
