Jamie TehOf all the questionable things about AI, I'm starting to think its biggest crime is simply the staggering amount of resources it has pointlessly drawn away from other, more important work and the way it has corrupted even organisations that were previously doing great work in some misguided, race-to-the-bottom belief that this is actually the most important thing for humankind.
@saschacowley The thing is... I'm not even saying we shouldn't put time into AI. I think there are absolutely areas where it can have benefit and be less ethically and environmentally questionable. It's the race to "do AI" at the cost (both financial and otherwise) of everything else that bothers me.
