Fully open machine learning requires not only GPU access but a community commitment to openness. (Some nostalgic lessons from the ImageNet decade.)

The bigotry and white supremacy is right out there in the open, impossible to ignore for anyone paying attention. A lot of people are revealing a lot about themselves by supporting this.
The Air Force is stripping Tuskegee Airmen lessons from basic training curriculum because of our White supremacist government.

There are no artificial neural networks! It's just a conceptual/formal tool to think about a certain type of programs that actually run on CPUs and GPUs.
It just happens that the tool was originally inspired by an extremely simplistic model of biological neurons.
