Clearly @DeepMindAI is primarily about fundamental research so of course it's loss making. Why is anyone (triumphantly) surprised about this? Do we look at profit margins of academic groups? Would the world be a better place if groups like DM changed focus to generate income?https://twitter.com/GaryMarcus/status/1159459101790756864 …

Replying to @egrefen @DeepMindAI
just reporting the facts here. not at all surprised that DM losing money. I am surprised by the magnitude an acceleration of the loss. Current AI has been overhyped and #’s like these in conjunction with less-than-anticipated progress in driving & chatbots could have an impact.

people five years ago expected level 5 driving and strong chatbots nowish. lots of cites for this sort of thing in Chapter 1 of Rebooting AI.
