Guy who buys programmers and sells AI thinks he can sell more AI and stop buying programmers.

This is up there with Uber pretending self driving cars will make them rich.

I mean... self driving cars probably will. Just not as soon as they think. My guess, at least another decade.

Not until a self driving car can safely handle all manner of edge cases thrown at it, and I don’t see that happening any time soon. The cars would need to be able to recognize situations that may not be explicitly programmed into it, and figure out a safe way to deal with it.

Maybe, or maybe like harnessing fusion it will always be “just a few more years away!”

Self driving taxis are definitely happening, but the people getting rich in a gold rush are the people selling shovels.

Uber has no structural advantage because their unique value proposition is the army of cheap drivers.

I'm right there with you, but I also remember hearing that this time last decade.

Way longer. Roads will have to be designed and maintained with them in mind.
