Let me introduce to you one of X's former staff members arguing that there is no such thing as deep knowledge or expertise[0] I would love to tell you that I don't meet many people working in AI that share this sentiment, but I'd be lying. And just for fun, here's a downvoted comment of mine, despite my follow-up comments that evidence my point being upvoted[1] (I got a bit pissed in that last one). The point here is that most people don't want to hear the truth. They are just glossing over things. But I think the two biggest things I've learned from the modern AI movement is: 1) gradient descent and scale are far more powerful than I though, 2) I now understand how used car salesmen are so effective on even people I once thought smart. People love their sycophants... I swear, we're going to make AGI not by making the AI smarter but by making the people dumber... | ||
