Attended the Google Cloud Partner Summit in Singapore today.
Not quite the usual Mr Jacket-and-Jeans affair. Though there was still the usual mix of commercial/account speakers (boring) and technical speakers (interesting).
Spoke to Øyvind Roti and he's also of the opinion that the current advances in machine learning should not worry humanity too much because computers are still to develop any real understanding of the world. Until such time as they do, they are still very fast, dumb calculators that can be used for very fast identification of correlations rather than understanding actual causations. Hmm, that's almost like a cargo cult...
