Zach WeinersmithMaybe I'm just crazy, but I feel like there is not enough freaking out going on vis-a-vis recent AI developments. It seems to me science, the arts, transportation, engineering... everything is going to be changed, if not in 10 years certainly in 30. It feels to me like there's a lot of denial going on, of the form "well, it can't do [this one thing]" but that was said about chess programs in the 90s. They're now absolutely unbeatable.
Julian Fietkau@ZachWeinersmith In fairness, the "AI will change everything in the next ten years" chorus has also been around for nearly as long as the concept of AI. Is it for real this time? I mean, maybe! I try not to be overly jaded. But I also think the offerings by OpenAI and similar like to paper over a lot of devils-in-the-details to feed the hype machine.
On that note, I'd humbly recommend following @timnitGebru and some of her colleagues at DAIR.
