[–] ggm 2y ago ↗ If I never saw another bullshit self promoting story from this person, it would be too soon.I know we're meant to be charitable, open minded on HN and avoid ad hom, vituperation, but with Ray, it's hard.No Ray, that's not happening. Like pretty much all your other prognostic statements. He won't be bringing Marvin Minsky back either.How does Google justify his salary? To me, it only devalues Google in my eyes.
