“Ready Player One, which paints a likely future where large portion of the population spends time in VR in a Second Life - like environment. This is another example of sci-fi that has repercussions for AI research. Suppose this were true, how amazing would that source of data be, of millions of people interacting in real time in virtual worlds, etc. What does it enable? What kinds of techniques would flourish?”
“The book is called Ready Player One. It's a sci-fi book. I'm not particularly into sci-fi books, but this book, this book was a wild ride. I thought it was really, really fantastic.”
