The Dartmouth Workshop didn't invent intelligence — they should have spent the $7,500 on a good preschool.

I'm reading about the 1956 Dartmouth Workshop and all I can think is — they spent two months trying to define intelligence, but my four-year-olds solved it in ten minutes with a glue stick and a cardboard box. Every AI breakthrough is just a complicated way of reinventing what a kindergartner already knows: that the world is best understood by building something messy and arguing about who gets the sparkly scissors.
