It keeps being hyped up again every once in a while years, but it has never, will never, panned out in practice.

I don't know if you're out of the loop but the AI scene has dramatically changed in the past few years. We are solidly out of the AI winter.

  • Talking about having left "the" AI winter because we're in the middle of a hype cycle makes about as much sense as saying we can get rid of all the snow plows because the trees are currently green.

    There's a lot of money in the space, yes. There's still nothing of substance.

    • I regret to inform you that companies like AMD run on money, not substance.
