For an idea that does not first seem insane, there is no hope.
For an idea which, at first, does not seem absurd, there is no hope.
So here I was in the middle of the AI world-not just hanging out there but totally dependent on the people if I expected to have a job once I graduated-and yet, day by day, AI started to seem insane. This is also what I do: I get myself trapped inside of things that seem insane.
