I was suggesting more simply that the original comment talking about 10x developer wasn't referring to just AlphaGo.
Apparently it wasn't clear that I'm limiting my comments strictly to what's observable in the chat forum and not making sweeping statements about humans.
Though I suspect self-selection bias might also explain the downvotes. Of course everyone on HN is better than a machine, right?
And the brain itself may be. But is the average developer?
- nightski 9y agoI didn't down-vote you, but I do disagree. This isn't some desperate attempt to hold on to some sort of artificial superiority to machines. I'd be thrilled if machines could do my job, because honestly half of it is mundane (the other half is communicating and interacting with humans). I'm just being honest about the limitations of current models. I'm also very interested about the impact of generalization. If we make a single model capable of multiple tasks, will that sacrifice the ability to perform on each individual task? Or will it scale?
