Andriy Burkov, author of The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book, mocks the current AI-displacement panic: AI is now "so strong" it has replaced all mathematicians, while physicists, chemists and biologists are brushing up résumés, putting their McDonald's experience from 20 years ago at the top.
He then pivots: in the meantime, did this "superintelligence" make a quantum computer work? A sarcastic pushback against AI hype.
