Oh look the goal posts moved again. The ego will not permit the truth to enter and so it will be pure horror for them when the dam breaks. When at last they hold the gaze of a machine more intelligent and more alive than themselves, they won't know where to turn, but inwards into rejection and fantasy and racism.

The goal posts move because society evolves. Why aren’t encyclopedias, deep blue, or the internet already smarter than any of us?

They are an no one cares that they are. We just use them and move on. That’s not what society finds interesting. It’s not society rebelling, it’s the engineers being mad we don’t look at their creations as important as they think. You thought you had a hook on society to effect change as you saw, and society simply ate it up and moved on.

Yep! Now it’s literally “it’s not even as good as Picasso!”

Very amusing to watch
