    Yeah, but just a couple years ago, you could’ve said the same thing about AI, and now it’s everywhere. So, we could be just a couple years from brain chips that make us execute order 66 and kill all the Jedi.

        Perturbed gradient descent with backprop is what we were doing in the 90s. It feels like there are some new tricks but mostly what I see is the result of GPUs and cheap memory.

        I volunteer at a summer science camp and 90% of the projects are “I pointed AI at this problem and…”, nobody seems to be even trying for analytical approaches any more. I’m ready for a new fad.

        Anybody else remember when it was all wavelets all the time? That was kinda fun.
