Title: A self-driving truck company shuts down

There's some interesting commentary about the state of AI research in here.

"The biggest [problem], however, is that supervised machine learning doesn’t live up to the hype. It isn’t actual artificial intelligence akin to C-3PO, it’s a sophisticated pattern-matching tool."

That was a fascinating read and well worth the time. Thanks for posting.

Rather than seeing exponential improvements in the quality of AI performance (a la Moore’s Law), we’re instead seeing exponential increases in the cost to improve AI systems — supervised ML seems to follow an S-Curve.

S-curves are frequent in technological adoption (Moore’s Law is actually made up of a number of S curves as chip technologies continuously replace each other as the best candidate to continue the phenomenon’s overall curvature).

These kind of reports sway the consumer and also dependant half-businesses.   If you know how to make A.I. you dont give a crap about this kind of fear of unknown, cause its not unknown to you.

In the end what brought a promising company down was all about the Benjamins.

Benjamins = Money!! - Benjamin Franklin's portrait is on the $100 (USD).
