Easy take: calling linear algebra “quantum physics” and “artificial intelligence” is hype. Deeper: the huge influx of physicists into AI has produced an intellectual monoculture that isn’t capable of addressing key problems in the field.https://twitter.com/WIRED/status/1181437300414275584 …

BTW, I wasn’t subtweeting you specifically; three other people I respect also quote-tweeted the Wired piece with comments along the lines of “quantum wtf?” And you were all quite right to do so!

FWIW, I think progress in AI comes from the collision and synergy of diverse intellectual cultures; it's a necessarily hybrid field. I wrote about that here:https://meaningness.com/metablog/artificial-intelligence-progress …

This is fair but doesn't seem to be at all relevant to the cited article? I mean, you can't possibly infer subtle intersubjectual interactions, such as the ones you mention, from an article this clueless.
