Wow. The sheer magnitude of "I told you so" in this piece is shocking!

It has been difficult to have a nuanced public debate about precisely what a model and an intelligent system that incorporates a set of models can accomplish. Some of the difficulty has to do with the hype-cycle and people claiming things that their products cannot do reliably. However, some of it is also because the leading lights (aka public intellectuals) like Marcus have been a tad bit too concerned about proving that they are right, instead of seeking the true nature of the beast.

Meanwhile, the tech is rapidly advancing on fundamental dimensions of reliability and efficiency. So much has been invented in the last few years that we have at least 5 years worth "innovation gas" to drive downstream, vertical-specific innovation.
