I could not agree more.
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you’re a VC, everything looks like a capital problem. In the early days of Valar, a lot of VC’s passed on us because they didn’t believe we could raise the money. In one way, they were totally right. We raised less than

Remember Moravec's paradox? "Corner cases". "Long tails". You can play whack-a-mole with them. Or, you can confront their root causes directly. Our new paper "Evolution and The Knightian Blindspot of Machine Learning" argues we should do the latter.

No. Tesla recall, MSFT Bing fail, and Google Bard fail are NOT independent; each reflect the fact that you cannot build AI in the real world from Big Data and deep learning alone. Too many edge cases and not enough reasoning. We need new approaches; current AI has been oversold.
@GaryMarcus Great idea - Let’s conflate several very different things together and call for the next AI winter. 👏🏼
