This is too big and strange to be true. Unless it is, in which case, wow. I haven't seen anybody claiming all of this is a hoax yet, which is probably because there isn't much evidence either way?

Very frustrating read. Read more like an advertisement than an informative article. The claims made would've made for a very interesting tech-dive into a novel use of machine intelligence, but no details were provided.

The article mentions the brilliant Scott Aaronson, who's written a couple of articles on the subject: 1. http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=2756 2. http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1951

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I've often wanted to try K to help battle my nastier depressive episodes, but your comment definitely gave me pause. It's very tempting to look around at all the party usage of K and forget

Thank you, that was an excellent summary! On a somewhat related note, it seems clear that AI research and breakthroughs are occurring at breakneck speed. I wish there was a place where you could see expert commentary like your in layman ter

Indeed, I can't wait for the day we see DeepMind (or its ilk) playing games like StarCraft, I expect it'll be quite uncanny.

I agree with you completely! At the same time, it's worth noting that it makes sense to approach the problem in a reductive (using the word loosely, not sure if it's completely accurate) manner, i.e., keep replicating features and

Interesting, but I wonder how profitable these kinds of micro-services will end up being. Seems like the margins must be pretty low, and I'm not sure what unique value you could deliver that a company couldn't more easily extract

This sounds like a big deal, can somebody with some expertise in the field comment on it?

Seems like a manifestation of Moloch: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ . I agree that the changing the incentive structure is a good idea, but public shaming seems a tad harsh.
