I don't know this guy, and I haven't read any of his other stuff, so this isn't a judgement of him, it's just how I interpret the tone and content of the article itself, but...

It sounds like a rant by a corporate code-pusher who's never done anything particularly complex or sophisticated, and feels defensive about the security of his career.

Maybe that's just me. Again, I don't know this guy. I'm not passing judgement. That's just what I pick up when I read between the lines.

It sounds like there's a Kickstarter, which is targeted often to the general public, asking for money to develop a technology that eludes the pinnacle of AI research at the most well-funded organizations on the planet.

A simple layout engine and iPhoto-like automatic image correction elude the pinnacle of AI research? Maybe try re-watching the video.

Also, it's called perception. My comments were in reference to the tone of the article, not the author.
