We need contrarian voices for both spotting any issues we might have overlooked, and assuring ourselves we know better.
It's still better than what I can read from "LinkedIn influencers" in my feed like "Logistic regression is still the best" or "Self-driving cars will never work because of long tail"...
- JesseMReeves 7y agoIt’s a good read but the negativity makes it appear irrational. It would be better if he left the ranting away and focused on the realistic recap without the PR hype. Note that AI has a history of being stalled by overly pessimist evaluations (Minsky / Papert on the perceptron, Lighthill report).
