This is kinda laughable. Scott has been thinking and writing about AI for a long time
- pron 5mo agoThat's what I'm saying. I'm glad to see that he's found a subject where his lack of knowledge isn't a glaring handicap. When I come across his posts I usually feel uncomfortable because they read like a bright 4-year-old child trying hard to explain how a car works, only not cute (yeah, I know that trying to see what conclusions you can come to, Aristotle-like, from a basis of ignorance and without careful study is the whole point, but I never found this Memento-style game appealing).
