You don't think AlphaGo or self driving cars are impressive?

• moxious 9y ago
  Yes and no. I mean the demo is great, but can I actually have one? No? Well then I can only be so impressed. I know, they're coming soon, but I've been waiting for years and at some point the enthusiasm wanes when it's been right around the corner for several years. Hey, maybe they're trying to solve a problem that's harder than anyone expected. Anyways, I'll be impressed when I can have one.

    You can't have a nuclear bomb either. Are they unimpressive?
    • moxious 9y ago
      Not at all the same. They're way past demo and have proven effectiveness repeatedly. Comparing pre-alpha with fielded is no comparison. Nuclear weapons haven't been going on and on about how great they'll eventually be.

      yes, only until I can have recreational nukes can I bask in their power and radiation.
