I love how he’s claiming bias due to his critic’s employer. As though working for Google has no conflicts? A company that is desperately hyping each and every “me too” AI development to juice the stock price?
Jeff drank so much kool aid he forget what water is.
- jeffbee 2y agoHe's criticizing Markov for not disclosing the conflict, not for the conflict itself. Hiding your affiliation in a scientific publication is far outside the norms of science, and they should be criticized for that. The publication we are discussing — "That Chip Has Sailed" — dismisses Markov in a few paragraph and spends the bulk its arguments on Cheng.

Jeff is simply unable to respond to Markov's article in the technical dimension and is resorting to dirty tricks instead.
