Since we are on the topic, how do the big firms (Google, Facebook, etc) view Singularity University? Is it considered positive, neutral, or negative? Would appreciate inside perspectives.
Well, Google chipped in $3m and hired Kurzweil so presumably they kinda like it.
I'm sure many AI experts at these places view it negatively. These are not monolithic organizations, but massive companies filled with real people with varying opinions.
