Demis Hassabis AI future:It'll be 10 times bigger than the Industrial Revolution (theguardian.com)

Wish the journalists would follow up at least once to these kinds of statements with, “ok, how big was the Industrial Revolution?”

Need some semblance of units here to really mean anything.

Will there be 10x the number of Luddites resisting it? I sure will be one of them.

Why is circular reasoning of the type "if we find a general solution to all problems, we wouldn't have any problems" being propagated as some sort of visionary analysis of human endeavor?

Sure that $acronym that can solve all our problems would be swell. Just write more checks for GPU farms you say?

Gosh, this recession is going to be awful.

"We’ll have something that will exhibit all the cognitive capabilities humans have, maybe in the next five to 10 years"
