@tob @carnage4life I can't really comment on the "politics" of the technology- who's trying to hype what; who's overstating potential applications. My personal view is that this technology is way more interesting than bitcoin. I think people are way too quick to dismiss it as not artificial intelligence when it passes a bunch of tests for intelligence that psychologists had devised to characterize human and animal intelligence.
@tob @carnage4life I also can't deny the applications I have seen with my own eyes: I ask it software programming questions and it helps me come to a solution. I've seen it hooked up to a robot and make the robot pretty "intelligent".
