Article on Wired about McKinstry/Singh Suicides


Wired Article

It is a fascinating yet sad article about the lives and deaths of two modern day AI pioneers, both tirelessly chasing after the goal of human level machine intelligence. For me it underscores how often brilliant people struggle with mental illness, and how discouraging it can be to chase after unrealistic dreams, especially when those dreams define who you are. The field of AI is a humbling one.
