Does anyone else feel like the crypto crowd just migrated to AI?

  And they were joined by the "self-driving" car crowd.

  No, but I do think that both of these things are revealing to us just how bad highly technical people and highly intuitive and empathetic people are at properly communicating with one another. (It is a broad generalization to assume that these traits are mutually exclusive. They do, of course, co-exist in many people. However, it seems to me that the number of people in whom they coexist robustly are few. However, if is these few from whence come true once-in-a-generation geniuses.)

    Replying to myself to apologize to all future readers for the absolute hash I made of the above comment. I distractedly typed it out while doing something else and didn't realize how unintelligible I made it sound until it was too late to edit!

  what a weird moment to take a stab at AI, right now when all the projects are starting to bear fruit and we can see advances that remind me of moore's law in the 90s. these projects have direct commercial applications right now.

    Honestly? I get it. What you say about AI is true; however, from where I'm standing, it seems there is still too much greed-driven, mindless "no problem; we'll simply brute-force the problem of inventing a machine that does human-level cognition, which is a thing we admit we do not understand at all"-type enthusiasm, and not enough openness, humility, and critical thinking in the field.
