gollark: Art is becoming automated now, actually.
gollark: Why study things when you can just use Solomonoff induction?
gollark: In some cases you are best off with a bad but technically working thing, in others a robust and good solution is better.
gollark: Actually, you should optimally choose the correct amount to optimize depending on situation.
gollark: Worrying.
