> Got a critique about the topic at hand, which is what he's said about AI Sure. He has no special expertise in AI, and his opinion on the subject is of no more value than that of any other random person working in the field. > do you just have cheap, physical appearance potshots? If you think his physical appearance doesn't have a lot to do with why his opinion is sought after by general media sources, well... you're wrong. A major reason they go to him is because he makes an impressive-looking photograph to go along with the article.

  > .. oh, you meant "no" rather than "sure". No, I meant "sure". Yes, he has an opinion. No, that opinion isn't of any more value than that of anyone else who works in technology, because he has no expertise in AI. His hot take isn't more worthy of critique that some Twitter rando's hot take. It's up to him to provide evidence that his opinion has some special value. I haven't seen any such evidence (other than the "famous for being famous" thing). Do you have any? > you're still hung up on his physical appearance. Oh, I'm pretty sure it's not me who's overly impressed by his physical appearance.
