Interesting perspective shift. I saw there’s a new book by Mark Pesce about AI systems, and it gets pretty technical. I was surprised because I thought he was a pundit (which he is) but unlike most tech pundits, he also knows how to program. More than that. I remember the first time I had a real talk with a famous tech pundit in the 80s and was shocked that he knew nothing about the ones and zeros. Didn’t these people at least take Intro to Computer Science in college? Shouldn’t that be a basic prerequesite for selling one’s opinions about tech? Now many years later I’m surprised to see one that does. #
