Episode notes

In the AI rush, most of the breakthroughs are being done by private corporations. There's plenty of people at universities who are doing research on AI and some of it is very important but they just don't have quite the resources that you have if you work for Google or Microsoft. So we have to keep that sector of our research efforts thriving, in my opinion.

Welcome to the May 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
