"If it works, it's a machine. If it doesn't work, it's a Robot" - Kane Hsieh, Root VC
- BadassFractal 6y agoReminds me of the "if we understand it, it's just a machine, if we don't, that's technology". Nobody calls a bus "technology" anymore, but ML, now that's technology!
- CyberDildonics 6y agoWhoever came up with renaming statistics to be machine-learning-artificial-intelligence was the venture capital alchemist of the decade.
- eru 6y agoI'd say it's the other way round: people were trying their hands at what they called AI for a while. See the original AI winter etc. The modern renaissance in AI came when partially from trying to put these techniques on more sound mathematical footings like statistics.
- ethbro 6y agoPeople who don't understand things, call them some variant on magic. People who do, use their true names. Clarke's linguistic corollary has probably been true for as long as there's been technology.
