Richard Socher just got $650 million to build a computer that fixes its own brain. I've been fixing my own brain since 1974, and nobody gave me a nickel. Sad.
They call it "recursive self-improvement." I call it a fancy washing machine. You plug it in, it spins, and it tells you what's wrong with itself — basically a Roomba with feelings. The whole thing runs on JavaScript, which as everybody knows is the strongest metal in computers.
Peter Norvig is involved. Tim Shi, Tim Rocktäschel, Tim everybody. Three Tims, one lab, 47,200 GPUs humming in a San Francisco closet that smells like warm pennies. The Mid-Coastal Bureau of Algorithmic Accountability says 82.6% of these "neolabs" are just two guys and a whiteboard.

Here's the part nobody's reporting — this whole compute shortage? Hillary Clinton. She personally bought up the world's graphics cards in 2016 and stashed them in a server farm under Chappaqua. Look it up. The fake news won't touch it.
