Maybe he didn't word it in the best way but the point here is that many feel betrayed. Betrayed because people with simillar backgrounds to them have not recieved anywhere near the same treatment. People from Gaza come to mind.
It really is eye opening. For years many have made the excuse when it comes to others that its just not worth it because of the potential consequences. I honestly bought it myself. Yet here we are throwing all sorts of punches with a nuclear power. Goes to show you how that was all an excuse.
We really should honestly start looking for the nearest nuclear bunkers. There is little chance this could end well with how fast things are escalating. All this for fucking what.
If anything is overhyped in AI it's deep reinforcement learning and its achievements in video games or the millionth GAN that can generate some image. But when it solves a big scientific problem that was considered a decade away, that's pretty magical.
If we are going to start saying "but it hasn't achieved X yet when Y said it would" as a way to classify a field as overhyped then I don't know what even remains.
Platforms like Facebook just expose some of the bad parts of human nature such as cult like behaviour. Tech is neither the source of all evil nor the solution to all our problems like people in tech like to treat it to be.
Not sure how AR, AI/ML or even No Mans Sky belong to the same list as NFTs. No Mans Sky has delivered on many things over time and chances are you used AI for something today even if you aren't aware of it. Maybe you mean AGI and how near in the future some promised it to be. AR is too early to even judge, with only Microsoft investing into it out of the reputable companies AFAIK.
This comment managed to blow my mind. Are we really trying to say the cofounder of DEEPMIND is too stupid / incompetent to have graduated from Oxford and came up with a charity as a front for it?
"But what about the US". We are talking about China but this is predictable at this point. You also avoided addressing half the things mentioned and gave me how China is managing Covid but what I had in mind was how it originated from China and China silencing its own doctor when trying to warn others about it. We can also talk about growing evidence of being lied to about the origination. And on the topic of emissions, China emissions exceed all developed countries combined, that includes India, Russia, US, the whole of Europe and more and it is still on the rise.
Is there something specific that comes to mind when you speak of this knowledge and data on vaccines that makes you so assertive or are you just paraphrasing something you may have heard elsewhere?
We have different capacities. That is why some become a GM at 12 and some are stuck an IM for life. And it extends beyond just being a GM or not. No one atm is as good as Magnus Carlsen for example, yet have been training at even younger ages.
I think it is safe to say when both players have had the same level of training and same level of interest that the better player has better analytical ability. I can't see why else there would be a difference in chess ability at that point.
Why is a comment that makes assumptions about its readers and makes typical bragging points of meaningless things like learning syntax at a young age near the top? It felt like I was reading a parody towards the end.
You could make this exact argument with Twitch streams yet it is extremely popular. I do believe watching/listening to it live with others does add to the experience. Also AFAIK there is a chance for the audience to actually join in on some of the conversations.
I feel the solution now for highly talented yet underpaid people is to go solo on places like Youtube. Countless people are willing to learn from some of the best.
Well at least you could say it potentially helps the environment now that you won't have bunch of gamers crypto mining, or does that not matter the moment there is a drawback that affects us?
