@lritter Speaking of AI in broad terms, some of the big companies going under would be a net positive for the field.

@kechpaja Yes, Turkish uses so many bound affixes that a single word can express an entire, fairly complex, sentence, but isn't usually described as polysynthetic. So what's the difference?

@irina @kechpaja The trouble is, there doesn't seem to be a standard definition for polysynthetic.

@kechpaja One question is what level of agglutination you need to reach before a language counts as polysynthetic. Is Turkish polysynthetic? The answer may depend on whether or not you are one of those people who we could not turn into a city-dweller.

@kechpaja Well, if "master" is bad, would "doctor" be good?

@irina I second this. People are much more likely to engage fruitfully with political content if they have the choice to do so.
