[sledgehammers]

I started reading that book (seems great!) and stumbled upon this: "And it’s hardly clear that computer scientists will succeed in creating a convincingly-human artificial intelligence any time soon." Made me smile. Took but 8 years, the book was published in 2015. :)

(BTW. I'm super concerned about all the incredible amount of power nvidia has now and in the future. They get to decide the fate of the human race, I feel. And their incentive is just to make as much money as possible, while all negative externalities including the likes of extinction is left to the society to deal with. Sigh.)
