A.I.

Why is it that we don't see any groundbreaking development on the field of A.I., but people continue saying we should be scared and whatnot? And it's not the usual crackpots, it's actually people who supposedly know better. I'm confused.

oh man this math stuff is too hard for me
hey maybe we should make like computers do it for us!
cool idea! fuck those nerds, computers are better than them!
they wont be able to call us low iq retard-niggers anymore!
oh wait, don't you need dat math stuff to like do that or something
no we don't, all we gotta do is tell ourselves and the rest of the world that we can apply deep learning to text understanding from character-level inputs all the way up to abstract text concepts, using temporal convolutional networks (ConvNets). We apply ConvNets to various large-scale datasets, including ontology classification, sentiment analysis, and text categorization.
oh yeah! that'll work!
make sure to submit it to arxiv and not a peer-reviewed journal or else we'll get busted!!
