Reminder: Most of the seminal accomplishments of this era's AI wave were actually developed in the 70s-90s. Yes, even GANs and RL. This industry has been riding on the NVIDIA welfare program for the past 10 yrs. How long until the hardware gets maxed out?

- zitterbewegung 7y agoProbably until < 5nm . Once we get there we are going to see a massive influx of engineering to things like quantum computation .
- nabla9 7y agoWe need yet another set of big breakthroughs because just adding more computing capacity is not going to carry the boom. Maybe the correct way to measure advance in AI is Turing Awards.
- zelly 7y agoYeah, my opinion, neural networks alone aren't going to cut it. We need a better primitive.

I would call it a synergy, but it does smell of intellectual welfare.
