Great distillation of state of AI; unconvincing prescription

I really, really enjoyed the overview of AI and fantastic description of the Chinese approach to technology - seriously illuminating. I also really was touched by the author’s soul-searching and reawakening, and could even relate to it myself.

I was unconvinced, though, by the “what do we do about this?” answers. They felt a little pat, and contrived, and given the author’s academic connections, I expected a lot more rigor. I actually think a human approach based on love MAY be an answer to the AI conundrum, but I didn’t see much more than a (genuine) hope that that work to support the argument.
