re: #350 ericblair

My take, as an engineer but not directly involved in AI, is that far more work is required for training and developing adequate reasoning and perception then is initially thought. You end up needing several levels of deduction to make sense of real-world data, and the complexity blows up exponentially quite fast. I think it will be useful and widespread, but will take a lot longer than the pitch boys say it will.

also need to not let racist motherfuckers do the programming.

As my Mudder friend tried to make me understand back in college, “Computers don’t do what you want. They do what you tell them. Be aware that what you’re telling them, and what you think you’re telling them, are very often not the same thing.”
