An appropriate post : I’ve come to find EY’s posts very boring. Subtle, intelligent, all that, sure. A mind far finer than my own, sure. But it never gets anywhere, never goes anywhere. He spends so much time posting he’s clearly not moving AI forward. His book is still out of sight, two years down the line.
I can understand the main thrust of his posts, and the comments, if I invest enough, my intelligence and knowledge are just about up to that. But why bother ? It’s sterile. Boredom = sterility.
As for Robin’s comment, which is pertinent and bears on the real world of lived emotions, the connection is that boredom is not a result of what you are doing, it’s a result of what you’re not doing. Think about it.
