[FLAGGED] This very misguided article seems to be a complete misunderstanding of two papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.05125 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.04558

None of the dramatic claims have any basis in real science, or real world events (e.g.: "it prompted concerns we could lose control of AI"? I'm 100% certain this came from the author's imagination).

This kind of AI apocalyptic alarmism with no real basis is the same kind that created the first AI winter, and the complete misinterpretation of research in popular culture.

Unless there's a very deep layer of irony I'm not seeing, this article is not worth your click.
