Sorry to single you out, but comments like this really get me. It's OBVIOUSLY MUCH harder than it looks to you.
It's about time! I wondered why no one had hooked up a fuel cell to cleanly power a car.
It's about time! I wondered why no one had proved P != NP.
It's about time! I wondered why no one had used [insert pop science news headline] to solve [insert major science-related problem].
If you've got a simple solution to a complex problem, you're probably not seeing the whole picture. Or you should be implementing it yourself.

- chime 16y agoEven as I wss typing the above post, I knew I would be singled out because of how I said it. I understand the complexity of what they're trying to do (BS comp sci, coder for 20 years). What I meant to imply was that finally someone is tackling such difficult problems head on and out in the open. This is science fiction becoming a reality. This could be AI that does more than drive cars or fulfil my Netflix orders. So color me excited with optimism. But yes, I see your point and thanks for me calling out. I should have been more explicit in my comment.
