Do you hate all marketing or just around AI in particular? Would you bat an eye at MS investing $1B into a project + ads about say a new GPU architecture promising how "games will never be the same" because the new hardware (or even Cloud Integration) lets developers efficiently try and satisfy the rendering equation with ray tracing?
FWIW I thought you were clear, but there are only so many middlebrow dismissals one can make towards AI or AGI efforts and I think I've seen them all plus the low-value threads they generate. (I've made some too, and suspect we might get brain emulations before AGI, but I try to avoid the impulse and in any case it doesn't stop me from hoping (and minor contributing) for the research on the article's load-bearing word "beneficial" to precede any realistic efforts of building the actual thing. At least the OpenAI guys aren't entirely ignorant of the importance of the "beneficial" problem.)
- pron 7y agoI don't hate this copy at all; I absolutely love it! I think it is a beautiful specimen of the early-21st c. Silicon Valley ethos, and it made me laugh. Pre-AGI is my new meme, and that means something coming from a pre-Nobel Prize laureate. What I'm interested in is how many dismissals of AI, most end up justified, can the field take before considering toning down the prose a bit, especially considering that the dismissals are a result of setting unrealistic expectations in the first place.
