@morten_skaaning Of course you can allocate resources for research and development. What do you think a company does? How does public sector research happen? Anyway, I'm not advocating for central planning; that was just an aside on the two possible meanings of "AI socialism". (I also don't agree with the premise that ML-based methods can only choose known solutions because that isn't even true for solving a linear equation. I assume you're thinking about some notion of novelty beyond that.)
