A user lists UC Berkeley professor Michael I. Jordan's five AI claims — the Hugging Face incident reflects bad engineering, not signs of self-awareness; regulation and slowdown campaigns are corporate reputation management; open-weight adoption could undermine proprietary providers; people don't universally want software replacing professionals; useful AI/ML remains grounds for optimism — and challenges a critic to dispute any of them. The critic only replied that Jordan has "been consistently wrong for 12 years."
