RT @mtrc: Shoutout to @katyanna_q who fed the system a curveball, which I always like to see.

What alchemy and astrology can teach artificial intelligence researchers

Pursuing big, unrealistic dreams can distract from real scientific progress. It's time for AI research to focus on restoring and expanding human control and responsibility.
