Author here. The argument is not that AI is a bubble or that current systems are mere autocomplete. I expect them to transform software, science, and knowledge work. The narrower claim is that increasingly accurate reconstruction of cogniti

If you don’t mind the code being public, GitHub pages is free and a fantastic resource. I think you can also upgrade to a paid version to make the code private. Check it out here: https://pages.github.com/

Ray Dalio has a really cool book about this. I'm just starting it myself but I think it would help explain a lot of the questions in this thread. He has a FREE pdf which you can download to any eReader, or you can buy the hardcopy. You

1. Many values (about 60%) are determined biologically, there is no definition process. This is not a computer algorithm, I’m talking about how the human brain works, how people work. The brain makes decisions in part by invoking the biolog

This comment right here is proof of why we need to embrace viewpoint diversity. You’ve caricatureized any opposing argument inside your own head to the point where anyone who disagrees with you must be a scumbag. You can think BLM is a brok

Thank you for the responses ladies and gents. At the risk of upsetting some of you further, I fully stand behind my PHP comments. I'm only kidding (sort of). Thanks again.
