Said anonymous account on HN... If you're going to question other people's credentials, reputation, track record and claims make sure your own are solid. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Finally, if you're going to attack someone's article: attack the article, not the person that wrote it. This is the lowest level of attack possible: the personal one. It's as ad-hominem as it gets.

So if we're gonna have an opinion we need to do the whole academia & job in the industry dance?

That's quite a terrible way to view the world and quite limiting. A world without diversity is a stale and rotten world.

So fuck that and the glass houses and the boxes this kind of worldview puts people in. Everyone should be able to throw stones, and if the hit hurts, well guess there is a reason.

The thesis is that DeepMind has financial incentive to state "we can achieve AGI with what we're doing", to keep up the funding and hopes for the field, not "the author is an idiot".

And the thesis is true, they do have financial incentives. That's not ad-hominem.
