Let me just repeat that: "Microsoft" came to your school in 2002 and "confidently stated" that AI had been solved. Really interesting story.

- xienze 6mo agoYes, they did. We had guest speakers from Microsoft talking about AI. AI has been a decades-long grift, it's not something that just appeared out of thin air a few years ago. What part do you find hard to believe? That tech companies would send people to speak at a university's computer science functions? Let me give you another one you'll think I'm making up: virtual reality was a thing back in the mid- to late-90s and people were confidently hyping it up back then.
- chasd00 6mo ago> virtual reality was a thing back in the mid- to late-90 even in pop-culture, see the movie Lawnmower Man.
