Tech company stocks are going crazy. Nvidia more than doubled it stock in one year. I think it's still early but the premise holds true.
Once we thought human flight is impossible. Now we can fly 500+ people half way around the planet in a single aircraft because we discovered fundamentals of flight.
We're discovering some fundamentals of the human brain. Atleast the audio and visual cortex. Being able to achieve human level imagenet recognition is an amazing milestone.
Go was thought to be a human only skill. A skill of reasoning and intuition that could never be achieved by computers. We did it.
Technology grows exponentially. With better sensors, labelled data and cheap faster computers we can achieve parity with some parts of the brain.
The big question is how can we use it to build a better world. Privacy, security, income disparity and joblessness are very sensitive subjects that need to be tackled in a way that benefits everyone.
