Definitely the AI-sceptics will enjoy this takedown of an OpenAI-inspired conferences that seems to be all talk and no intelligence. Those sceptical of academia in all its forms and pretenses will also find reasons to enjoy the article. I don't know whether any of what was described really took place, but that seems to be irrelevant. And I can't help but feel how familiar all this feels to me. We are playing a superficial game in which we criticize our own superficiality, yearning for depth, but not aware that we have been misled about what depth really is for all these years (p.s. I read this while listening to Jean-Michel Jarre, which probably didn't help with my objectivity at all).
