    I guess he didn’t read history books about … (flip flip)

    • Robots taking automotive industry in the 80, or (flip flip)
    • mechanisation throughout 20th century, or perhaps (flip flip)
    • steam machines in the 19th century

    Well well he seems to have never touched a history book.

      Read his multipart on arguing with AI boosters. He covers silly arguments like this.

      Also to paraphrase Cory Doctorow, you’re not going to keep breeding these mares to run faster and then one day they’ll birth a locomotive…

        Hahahah

        I’m as against the current hype as you.

        I’m just anchoring my opinion in that AI has been studied for over 60 years now, and AGI is probably 50 years away. What we’re living is one more incremental change that will compound with dozens of other AI improvements that will result in dramatic changes when seen in 10 years time slots.

        That’s just idiot grifter CEOs afraid of being left behind because they believed hype in the media. Not happening in the timescale that they want, but by 2033 the trend will be easy to spot. And it will be nowhere near the current claims.
