I took that article a lot less seriously after seeing that the author just founded an AI startup

I felt like it was fairly irresponsible hand-waving in the ACM.

Why? Perhaps the author's opinion was the reason they founded the startup?

Don't the arguments stand on their own, independent of who made them?

It's still a definite conflict of interest; the author is making an argument that they have a financial interest to advance regardless of how true it is

Would you prefer an article about the future of AI written by a chef, or a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist?
