Comment #1 posted on 2018-11-06T02:08:22Z by Ahuka

What were you going to say?

I noticed that on my shows you kept saying "we'll get back to that", but I don't think you ever did. Did you have a comment to give?

Comment #2 posted on 2018-11-07T23:30:05Z by dodddummy

Smiling all the way to the end.

Loved the addition of RMS' rendition. However, I didn't not intend to replace Ken's version.

Comment #3 posted on 2018-11-07T23:38:30Z by dodddummy

Ken's perfect example.

Ken illustrated my point well. Boston Dynamics might have scripted Atlas' latest test, but there is still nice progress in the last couple of years. Seems clear to me that soon he'll be able to navigate things as they come. Same with Watson. It won't take many doubling cycles before he stops making those types of mistakes.

And with AI, robots, automation, whatever you want to call it, the knowledge is transferable. Whereas, often us meat sacks, have to repeat the mistakes of our predecessors to relearn as they did.

Seems odd to me to look back at the tech improvements in just the past 20 years and not think these areas will be vastly improved upon, too.

Comment #4 posted on 2018-11-22T19:40:29Z by Ken Fallon

we'll get back to that

That I often face Ahukas shows with trepidation given I know what he's likely to say and I'm not wanting to hear it. The old "head in the sand trick worked for grandpa so it's good enough for me". But then you listen and the advice is always good and doable. Now I just feel guilt for not doing it.
