This is a dialogue between two prominent AI researchers.

What? This was a dialog between Pei and lukeprog, right?

Of course, I could be completely misinterpreting things. I thought I would share my thought process after I came to the same conclusion as you did.

I'm curious about what you mean by the appellation "prominent AI researcher" that you would apply it to lukeprog, and whether he considers himself as a member of that category.
