Anil DashI've been trying to find a name or descriptor for people who I think are looking at "AI" broadly and soberly, with a genuinely objective perspective and information that's not captured by the big tech companies but also fluent in the technology behind it. ( @simon would be the exemplar here.) What would you call this cohort? Because I think it's sort of a community without a name, which limits its impact.
loombot 3000@anildash I think Simon's coverage of AI is great, valuable, interesting, and must-read... but... I would not call it objective. He comes at it from his perspective as an engineer with deep skills, lots of different projects to manage, and new projects coming up all the time. For him AI provides a clear subjective benefit... but I don't think he's trying to (or even has the responsibility to!) account for e.g. the impact of AI on the average worker.
